I see people posting that Elon was at auschwitz this time last year - therefore his recent ‘gesture’ is not antisemitic. I was there too. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gideon Levy, was the special guest of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People actually, it’s worse - he doesn’t care whatsoever. Elon, father of little X as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gideon, to be in the place where his father Ernst died on a death march, whether shot by the side of the road, or simply having collapsed, was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posted for the cameras of his entourage. He was detatched. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwicz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring.This is Elon Musk. A sociopath if ever there was one. To deduce from this visit that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.
