This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elon Musk addressed an antisemitism controversy in characteristically unwise fashion during a public interview today, telling businesses to "go fuck yourself" and to stop advertising on the social network formerly named Twitter.
Musk spoke on stage at The New York Times' DealBook Summit in an interview conducted by journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin.
"I should in retrospect not have replied to that one person and should have written in greater length what I meant," Musk reportedly said.
"But those clarifications were ignored by the media and essentially I handed a loaded gun to those who hate me and arguably to those who are antisemitic.
On November 15, Musk replied, "You have said the actual truth" to an X post that said Jewish communities are "pushing hatred against whites."
A White House spokesperson condemned Musk's post as "abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate."
