Elon Musk, a highly polarizing figure, has faced backlash for his support of Donald Trump and other controversial positions. Despite being labeled 'Public Enemy Number 2' by various media, Musk has gained defenders, notably Palantir CEO Alex Karp and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Karp criticized the notion of Musk being a Nazi as absurd and unfounded, while Netanyahu emphasized Musk's support for Israel following the October 7 tragedy. This defense highlights Musk's complex public image and the divided opinions surrounding his actions and comments.
"The two CEOs that went to Israel who run publicly traded companies are Elon and I. whatever you think of Elon, calling him a Nazi, especially since it seems to be highly correlated to having been supportive of essentially the Hamas wing of the terrorist movement in some way...is completely absurd and like a complete rewrite of history," Karp noted.
"Elon Musk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust," Netanyahu wrote in a post on X.
