(ANSA-AFP) - KRAKOW, JAN 22 - Elon Musk visited Auschwitz and
was due to address anti-Semitism online at an event in Poland on
Monday just weeks after sparking a firestorm by endorsing a
anti-Jewish conspiracy theory on his social media platform X.
The European Jewish Association said Musk laid a wreath and
participated in a memorial service during a private visit to the
former death camp alongside EJA's chairman, Rabbi Menachem
Margolin. Photos showed Musk at the site with his son on his
shoulders. Musk and US right-wing political commentator Ben
Shapiro were due to speak later at a conference hosted by the
EJA. Musk apologised in November after responding "the actual
truth" to a post on X, formerly Twitter, that was criticised as
echoing a conspiracy theory among White supremacists and
prompted advertisers to pause ads on the platform. (ANSA-AFP).
