Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson Lead Explosion of White Nationalist Antisemitism Since Start of Israel-Gaza War

The past 48 hours have seen explicit and unabashed antisemitism from the far-right platformed at the most visible of levels, particularly from Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson. However, the X owner and disgraced talk show host, respectively, are only the tip of the iceberg concerning right-wing antisemitism stemming from Israel’s war in Gaza.

Anti-extremism and hate speech monitoring organizations have warned that since Musk took over X, formerly, Twitter, the company has been platforming hate speech under the guise of free speech. Musk himself has notoriously platformed antisemitic conspiracy theories includes accusing Jewish billionaire George Soros of wanting to destroy Western civilization, participating in victim-blaming in his attacks on the Anti-Defamation League and engaging with centuries-old Jewish blood libels.
