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.

    So one being nazi has to hate jews? He can’t be a nazi if he hates something else, but otherwise acts like one?

    If you mean literally a “spiritual member” of original Nazi party, then yeah probably, although nazi-germany was also exterminating other groups they saw as genetic garbage.

    Definition of a nazi has changed a bit and somewhat fused with general facism.
