Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message of support Thursday for Elon Musk after the world’s richest man was accused of making a Nazi salute.

Musk “is being falsely smeared,” Netanyahu wrote on X, the social media platform owned by Musk. “Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre… [and] has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”

Musk later thanked Netanyahu.

      Oligarchs are all in the same big mentally-ill sociopath club. They know they’re the devil and they revel in being evil. They only care about wealth and power, and their only common goal is keeping the proles fighting each other, instead of dragging them into the street and making them pay for their crimes; for the irrevocable damage they’ve done to all of us, and our societies.

      I’m not convinced most of them actually believe any of the horseshit they spout. Their words are just a means to achieving their goals.

        Oh I know they’re all amoral hypocrites. I was more referring to the fact that they can spout such blatant hypocritical nonsense and the rest of the world just goes along with it.
