Elon Musk has announced on X that ‘all revenue from advertising & subscriptions associated with the war in Gaza’ will be donated to hospitals in Israeland the Red Cross in Gaza.
Musk said his company will ‘track how funds are spent’ and ‘go through Red Cross/Crescent’ to ensure that funds do not end up in Hamas’ hands.
The tech mogul added: ‘We should care about the innocent regardless of race, creed, religion or anything else.’
It comes after the Tesla billionaire was accused of promoting anti-Semitism after replying to a racist post with the comment: ‘You have said the actual truth.’
The controversial exchange took place on Musk’s X platform, formerly Twitter, last Wednesday when a man posted a rant criticizing a Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism campaign video.
In the video, a father is seen talking to his son about the online hatred the son has spewed, and calling him out for his rhetoric.
The X user dismissed the video, writing: ‘Jewish communities (sic) have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.
‘I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest s*** now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much.
‘You want truth said to your face, there it is.’
Musk, who has 163 million followers, replied: ‘You have said the actual truth.’
Musk has a long history of toying with dog-whistle rhetoric about Jewish people, in particular George Soros, who enraged him in May by selling his Tesla stock.
He has also angered people with his response to the Israel-Hamas war.
