ALBAWABA - Controversial figure and billionaire Elon Musk has found himself once again under fire on social media platforms, including his own X (formerly known as Twitter) after statements about the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.
Elon Musk took to his official X account to state that anyone who advocated the genocide of *any* group would suffer the consequences of getting suspended from his platform. This left people with one question.
Is Elon Musk anti-Semitic?
Musk added and gave examples of how an account would get suspended. He told users that saying things like “decolonization”, “from the river to the sea,” and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide.
In addition, he said anyone who calls for extreme violence is going against X's terms of service and will result in suspension.

Many users expressed their dissatisfaction with Elon Musk's comments about the matter. Here's what they had to say:
"Chanting 'from the river to the sea implies genocide. But when Israeli officials openly call for genocide in Gaza and then actually begin to carry out that genocide, that's not genocide. Got it."
"Does this apply to anyone who says “flatten Gaza”? Or “Nakba 2.0”? Does it apply to officeholders as well? Seems one-sided."
"What about Pro-Israeli accounts that have asked for the genocide of Palestinians."
I"s there a single basic principle you won’t backtrack on?"
Some users called Elon Musk on his comment because there are already many official Israeli accounts saying to "flatten Gaza'' or "Nakba 2.0" with many asking for the genocide of the people of Palestine.
What's happening in Gaza, Palestine?
It's been more than a month since the war on Gaza with countless people around the world taking to the streets in protest for the Palestinian people but no ceasefire was agreed upon by the warring parties till now.
Palestine has been under the occupation of Israel since 1948 in what people call to this day, "Al Nakba" (The Catastrophe) resulting in countless deaths of the Palestinian people who are still suffering from the occupation to this day.
Hamas launched on Oct. 7, 2023, a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip capturing military bases and taking hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
