KRAKOW, Poland (AP) — Elon Musk, who has been accused of allowing antisemitic messages on his social media platform, X, visited the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp on Monday.
Musk laid a wreath at the wall of death and took part in a short memorial ceremony and service by the Birkenau memorial,” the EJA said in an email.
Musk was set to discuss antisemitism online with Shapiro at the conference in Krakow, which was held before International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27.
More than 1.1 million people were murdered by the Nazis and their henchmen at Auschwitz during World War II.
Most who were killed were Jews, but the victims also included Poles, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war, and others.
