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.

      When Hitler was elected his party was fascist but the state was not.

      Jesus lord, this is a really really inaccurate take. There was only one election, it was the one in which Hitler took power. There were no more after.

      One of the hallmarks of fascism is that it is anti-Democratic.
