Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message of support Thursday for Elon Musk after the world’s richest man was accused of making a Nazi salute.

Musk “is being falsely smeared,” Netanyahu wrote on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. “Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre… [and] has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”

Musk later thanked Netanyahu.

    Take a second to learn what “free and fair elections” means because you are clearly confused as to what it means.

    Most nations do not let non-citizens vote so that’s not surprising.

    Regardless the only people calling Israel fascist are those people who have zero clue about fascism or the Israeli government.

      There is a difference between non-citizens and a population you have kept in prison over decades.

      During the apartheid in South Africa, the black population was systematically denied citizenship. Would you consider those fair elections?

      But I guess any rhetoric is okay as long as it’s in defense of the great genocidal warmongering state of Israel. I’m guessing you have a connection with the nation, but rabidly defending pure evil is always a bad look, even if you were raised to do so.
