1:17Now PlayingElon Musk admitted to being “naive” about the recent rise in antisemitism after visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland on Monday — an experience the tech mogul described as “incredibly moving.” NY Post reporter Ariel Zilber shares this story.

“I think it will take a few days to sink in, frankly.”
Musk — who has been accused of allowing antisemitic messages on his social media platform X — acknowledged that he was “naive” about the surge in antisemitism in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks against Israel.
“It’s not like I have one Jewish friend,” Musk said. “Two-thirds of my friends are Jewish.”

Musk laid a wreath and participated in a memorial service organized by the European Jewish Association during the private visit. He was photographed with his young son, Techno Mechanicus, on his shoulders while standing next to Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev and Daily Wire podcaster Ben Shapiro.
