Elon Musk will come to Poland. He will take part in the symposium in Krakow
About Elon Musk’s planned visit to Poland. As the agency writes, Musk will appear in Poland next week and will visit, among others, Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Bloomberg also reports – citing information provided by the organizers – that the billionaire will be a guest at the symposium in Krakow and the ceremony in Auschwitz as part of the event organized by the European Jewish Association.
In the capital of Lesser Poland, Elon Musk is to take part in a discussion with American publicist Ben Shapiro, whose views are described by the media overseas as right-wing or conservative. The topic of the conversation will be the issue of the presence of anti-Semitic content on the Internet, and the event will take place on January 22-23, i.e. a week before the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Reports about the billionaire’s visit to Poland were confirmed on Friday by Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Szejna. The politician said that he, as deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, would also be present at the congress. He added that other representatives of the Polish government might be present.
Everyone sees what a great threat nationalism, populism, racism, and all manifestations of xenophobia and hatred of man to man are to democracy, human rights, and the EU.
– Szejna pointed out.
Elon Musk faced accusations of anti-Semitism online. “One of the stupidest things I’ve ever done”
In the fall, Musk commented on the X platform on a bizarre statement by one of the Internet users that Jews were supposed to “promote hatred against whites.” “You told the real truth,” Musk replied to a user spreading conspiracy theories.
The billionaire caused a scandal commented all over the world, and in response to his behavior, some large companies (including Apple, Sony Pictures and Disney) stopped displaying their ads on the X platform.
The tweet also condemned the White House in an official statement, calling it “unacceptable” and “contrary to our core values as Americans.” Elon Musk later called his comment “one of the stupidest things he’s ever done.”
The billionaire’s X platform is also facing accusations of promoting or allowing anti-Semitic content. At the end of November, Media Matters for America published a report, accusing the organization of trying to “drive advertisers off the platform and destroy X Corp.”
