Elon Musk today visited the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland, just weeks after sparking controversy by making remarks relating to conspiracy and anti-Semitism. Musk took a private tour of the site of the extermination camp built in Poland occupied by Nazi Germany between 1940 and 1945, where one million European Jews and more than 100,000 non-Jews were exterminated: the tycoon was photographed while visiting the camp fenced with barbed wire, where the wooden barracks, the remains of the gas chamber and a monument in memory of the victims are located. Furthermore, Musk wanted to discuss online anti-Semitism in Krakow, as part of a conference organized by the European Jewish Association (Eja). His visit to Auschwitz was initially scheduled for Tuesday.
As the owner of Musk later spoke about a misunderstanding and apologized. Hate researchers also accused ‘X’ of not taking sufficient action against anti-Semitic posts. Major advertisers such as Apple and Disney subsequently stopped their ads on the service.
