CNN’s Jake Tapper noted that Musks’ comments come amid a time of rising anti-Semitism and violence against Jews.

“Just because Elon Musk’s affirmation of white-nationalist ideology was the unsurprising outcome of his online radicalization spiral doesn’t make it any less devastating—or dangerous,” writes @Yair_Rosenberg: https://t.co/O41G1iUQMr
