Elon Musk’s endorsement of comments alluding to the great replacement theory, along with his dramatic loosening of content standards on social media, has amplified antisemitism, according to some.
Since the Israel-Gaza war, there has been a surge in antisemitic content online, coinciding with a rise in real-world attacks on Jews.
Musk’s actions have led to condemnation from the White House and advertising cancellations from major companies.
“Many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of your right to free speech,” Musk posted.

The Israel-Gaza conflict has also given new life to Holocaust deniers and prominent antisemitic hashtags, with a significant number of hate speech posts remaining on the platform.
“Elon Musk has shaped X into a social media universe that revolves around his beliefs and whims while still shaping politics and culture around the world,” stated Emerson Brooking, a resident fellow at the Digital Forensic Research Lab of the Atlantic Council think tank.
“And he’s using it to spread the most disgusting lies that humans ever invented.”
This has led to concerns about how Musk’s influence is shaping social media and spreading harmful misinformation.
