Musk had been criticized in the past regarding anti-semitism on the platform formerly known as Twitter. In September, a group of more than 100 Jewish leaders including rabbis and academics came out with a statement slamming X and its owner for facilitating the rise of anti-semitism on the site. The statement has been updated to include the signatures of 60 more Jewish leaders.
The letter pointed out how Musk allowed previously banned users back onto X including Kanye West and some neo-Nazi personalities. The group said that Musk has published several posts that they consider antisemitic, and that he has liked or agreed with similar comments.
