Elon Musk arrived in Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a kibbutz that was attacked by Hamas on October 7.
Netanyahu hosted the Tesla mogul on a tour of an Israeli kibbutz that was destroyed in a Hamas attack on October 7, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
Musk’s tour of Kibbutz Kfar Azza showed the horror of the Hamas attack, in which gunmen stormed the community and about 20 others, and kidnapped dozens of civilians in Gaza.
Musk informed the head of the local council and a representative of the IDF about the massacres that took place on the kibbutz.
According to The Times of Israel, the billionaire was taken to the home of the community’s security chief, who was killed in an exchange of fire with terrorists.
Musk also heard the shocking story of Israeli-American Abigail Idan, just 4 years old, who was kidnapped and released yesterday.

Elon Musk arrived in Tel Aviv today, and according to a statement issued by the office of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, the meeting includes a discussion of “combatting rising anti-Semitism on the Internet.”
Anti-Semitism and Starlink
The British Sky News network indicates that Musk caused a huge uproar by approving another post by User X who falsely claimed that Jews incite hatred against whites. The Tesla CEO said the user, who referred to conspiracy theories, was telling the “actual truth.”
The White House then accused Musk of “repugnant promotion of racist and anti-Semitic hatred.” Major US companies such as Walt Disney, Warner Bros Discovery and Comcast – the parent company of NBC Universal – have stopped advertising on their platform.
According to what was reported by British media, Israel said after the billionaire’s arrival that it had agreed with him in principle on the possibility of using SpaceX’s Starlink satellite communications system in Gaza, subject to Israeli approval.
Last month, Musk offered to provide Starlink satellite network support to “internationally recognized relief organizations” in the region amid a communications outage by Israeli forces.
Today’s announcement appears to represent a shift in the position of the Israeli Communications Minister, who initially opposed the idea.
Starlink services reportedly provided Internet access to Ukraine during the Russian invasion.
