Elon Musk says he's 'Jewish by association' after Auschwitz visit, sees 'almost no antisemitism'
“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."
The association organized the visit to address a worldwide surge of antisemitism after the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Shapiro wouldn't give him a platform, or defend him as he has done, if he suspected any anti-semitism.The only thing worse is Shapiro giving him a platform.
Zen is struggling these days. I can't remember the last serious post he made.
He’s got his kid on his shoulders like it’s an amusement park.He doesn't really strike me as the neo Nazi type.

FIFY
The ADL also defended Musk regarding the gesture.
And since you have recently stated that you actually believe the positions that you argue-
Yes, that's exactly the point - even the craven ADL who now reflexively protects right-wingers while condemning any random college student who says "Free Palestine" as a vicious antisemite, criticized his statement last year, that preceded his appearance on Shapiro's show.
You believe college students were being admonished for saying "Free Palestine" and not the fact that they were calling for Israel to be wiped off the face of the Earth?
I believe the ADL doesn't really try to discern the difference
