New York CNN —Elon Musk — who was widely criticized for an antisemitic post on his social media site, X, two months ago — said following a visit to Auschwitz Monday that X has less antisemitic content than other social media platforms.
Musk made the comments during an interview at a conference hosted by the European Jewish Association near the site of the Auschwitz in Poland.
It comes after Musk faced a firestorm of backlash over antisemitic content on X, including a post with an antisemitic conspiracy theory that Musk himself amplified (and later apologized for in the wake of condemnation.)
Musk later apologized for the post, but told advertisers who halted their spending on X over concerns about antisemitic content to “go f**k” themselves.
As part of Monday’s event, the billionaire appears to have made a visit to Auschwitz along with his young son.
