The White House condemns Elon Musk's "odious" promotion of anti-Semitism and racial hatred.

  The White House on Friday denounced the "odious promotion" of anti-Semitism by Elon Musk, the owner of the X platform (formerly Twitter). The comment from Washington came in response to Musk's reply to an anti-Semitic post on the X platform, where he stated, "I said the literal truth." The White House on Friday condemned what it called the "odious promotion" of anti-Semitism by the owner of the X platform (formerly Twitter).

Commenting on a post by Elon Musk adopting an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates deemed it "unacceptable" to perpetuate such a "heinous lie" in this manner.

He added: "We unequivocally condemn this odious promotion of anti-Semitism and racial hatred, which contradicts our fundamental values as Americans." Bates continued, "We all have a responsibility to unite people against hatred, and it is our duty not to remain silent about anyone attacking the dignity of American citizens and undermining the safety of our communities."

The White House's statement came in response to Musk's reply to an anti-Semitic post on the X platform, in which he stated, "I said the literal truth."

The White House and American media considered the original post to allude to an old conspiracy theory about a secret plan by Jews to bring illegal immigrants to the United States to weaken white majority dominance.

Promoters of this theory included the perpetrator of a shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2011 that resulted in the deaths of 18 people.

Furthermore, Bates considered it "unacceptable to echo this heinous lie behind some of the bloodiest anti-Semitic incidents in American history, especially a month after the most deadly day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust," referring to Hamas' attack on October 7th last year.
