British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has condemned antisemitism in response to Elon Musk’s controversial social media activity. Sunak, who recently shared a platform with Musk at the U.K.’s AI summit, distanced himself from the tech billionaire’s actions but fell short of directly criticizing him.
Musk faced criticism after sharing a conspiracy theory-laden post on the platform formerly known as Twitter. The post in question contained antisemitic claims, suggesting that Jewish communities were promoting hatred against white people. The White House had already condemned Musk’s actions, with a spokesperson calling it an abhorrent promotion of Antisemitic and racist hate.
Speaking in an interview, Sunak expressed his disapproval of antisemitism, emphasizing that it is unacceptable regardless of a person’s status. He stated, I condemn antisemitism in all its forms, whether you’re Elon Musk or someone on the street shouting abuse at another person.
The controversy around Musk’s social media activity continues to draw attention, with leaders speaking out against antisemitism and promoting understanding and tolerance.
