Anti-Semitism is one of the oldest forms of hate in human history. Discrimination against the Jewish people is most often associated with World War II and the Holocaust, but the ideologies at the center of Nazism can be traced back centuries. This deep-rooted prejudice in society is still prevalent today, even in a time when any form of bigotry is supposedly unacceptable. This has become more clear in recent years with the rise of the far right and various conspiracy theories involving an international Jewish plot to dominate the world. These shocking views have been shared by a surprising number of public figures from the past and present.
Most recently, Elon Musk has used his massive public platform to express his support of an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. He responded to a user on X (formerly Twitter) who had posted about how Jews hated white people, writing "You have said the actual truth.” Those six powerful words sparked instant backlash from Jewish leaders and IBM announced it was pulling its advertising from X the following day. Musk has made a habit of embracing anti-Semitic theories in recent years, and his refusal to try to reduce extremism on his social media platform has put him at odds with many Jewish organizations like the Anti-Defamation League. Musk has more followers than any other user on X, around 163 million, so the impact of his words is far-reaching. “We should expect to see more hate crimes and rallying around this type of discourse because of his amplification,” said Matthew Hughey, a sociology professor at the University of Connecticut who has studied white supremacy
