Israeli prime minister praised Musk's "opposition to antisemitism" in X chat.
Today, Elon Musk and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu livestreamed a discussion largely focused on the future of AI on Musk's platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The livestreamed event started with a one-on-one between Musk and Netanyahu that attracted more than 735,000 views.
While much of the one-on-one focused on AI—which Musk claimed was "potentially the biggest civilizational threat" and Netanyahu called "a blessing and a curse"—the men also discussed their views on antisemitism and how Musk deals with hate speech on X.
And all I could say is, I hope you find within the confines of the First Amendment the ability to stop not only antisemitism, or roll it back as best you can, but any collective hatred of people."
Netanyahu noted that X's policy didn't stop Musk from condemning antisemitism every chance he got.
The entire conversation remained strictly agreeable, with Netanyahu's only pushback coming about 25 minutes in.
The prime minister asked Musk if it was "technically possible" to limit "armies of bots" from amplifying hate speech on X.
