Elon Musk: A Controversial Figure with Strong Ties to Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently hailed Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, as a "great friend" of Israel. This endorsement comes in the wake of Musk's controversial gesture at President Donald Trump's inauguration, which drew comparisons to a Nazi salute.

Netanyahu highlighted Musk's visit to Israel following the tragic events of October 7, where Hamas terrorists committed heinous acts against the Jewish community. Musk has been vocal in his support for Israel's right to defend itself against terrorist threats and regimes aiming for its destruction.

Amidst the backlash for his inauguration day gesture, Musk took to social media to criticize those labeling him a Nazi, pointing out the irony in their accusations given his support for Israel. Netanyahu expressed his gratitude towards Musk for his unwavering support, reinforcing the strong bond between the tech mogul and the Jewish state.
