“I’m aspirationally Jewish,” Musk said. “So I was like, ‘What are people talking about with this antisemitism?’ Because I never hear it at dinner conversations."
Elon Musk said he is “Jewish by association” during a conversation with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro after a visit to the former Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland.
Musk, the Tesla CEO and owner of social media platform X, made the comments during a conference on antisemitism organized by the European Jewish Association. The association had arranged for Musk to make a private visit to Auschwitz, where an estimated 1.1 million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.
“I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this. In the circles that I move, I see almost no antisemitism. … Two-thirds of my friends are Jewish,” the billionaire tech mogul said in a video posted on YouTube by Bloomberg Technology. “I have twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends. I’m like Jewish by association.”
- goes to auschwitz
- talks about himself
He clearly learned nothing.
reminds me of when Justin Bieber went to visit Anne Franks place.
“Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.”
Difference is a 19 year old and a 51yr old.
I expect student shit from a teenager. Someone Musks age? Jesus.
Its my understanding that it was more of a “holy shit, she was the same age as many of my fans” statement.
As someone else noted, Bieber was young and naive. I don’t think he said it to boost his ego; rather, it was just a poor choice of words. Now, Musk, on the other hand…
“No, no, he clearly said Jew-ish!” - George Santos
“I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this.”
Could have just stopped there, Elon. 😒

Eye rolls can give you headaches
This asshat. Continues his apology tour, and with Ben Shapiro??? of all people. Get bent Elon, you out of touch blowhard.
what the fuck
He Reuters retweeted some antisemitic shit and got called out and lost advertisers. This is literally a thinly veiled and comically tone deaf PR piece.
Jesus Christ could this guy get any less likeable? He went to Auschwitz because he didn’t hear any anti-semitism at the dinner table? The fuck are you even talking about, dude??
“Almost” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Fuck this nazi
Do not devaluate magnitude of that word. Elon is simply idiot and jerk without any empathy, but overinflated ego.
Who granted you authority on how people use a word?
Vocabulary
Nazi
🤦♂️
Whenever I think he can’t dig the well of douchebaggery any deeper, he grabs a shovel and proves me wrong.
There always at least one duchebag in every group.
If you don’t know who in your group that is the duchebag it’s probably you who is the duchebag.
Not really. Usually actually kind people don’t tolerate being in a group with a douchebag. And douchebags often like hanging out together because they’re less likely to have their douchebaggery pointed out to them.
Asshole.
Where does this rank on the, “George Santos scale of Jew-ish-ness”?
I feel he’s finally losing his marbles.
He does that for quite some time already
It doesn’t work that way. If it did so many anti Semites would try this.
