Elon Musk gave his opinion on Sunday about the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel. The Jihadist group bombed the Jewish State and is murdering and kidnapping civilians. In this context, the owner of X (previously known as Twitter) responded to Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran, who made a post celebrating the violence.
It is well known that Iran finances terrorist organizations that are attacking Israel. Indeed, Khamenei made a post on X in which he celebrated the events. "God willing, the cancer of the usurping Zionist regime will be eradicated at the hands of the Palestinian people and the Resistance forces throughout the region," he wrote, accompanying the publication with a video of civilians trying to escape from the terrorists.

Since arriving at X, Musk changed the freedom of expression policies on the platform and allowed the aforementioned post to continue standing, given that it may be of general interest. “This Post violated the X rules. However, X has determined that it may be in the public interest for the Post to remain accessible,” it reads before being able to see what the Iranian wrote.
The tycoon took the opportunity to respond directly to Khamenei in the same way. In a post that accumulated millions of views on X, he indicated that "Khamenei’s official position is clear that the eradication of Israel is the actual goal, not just supporting Palestinians."
"That will not happen. All that actually happens, decade after decade, is a never-ending cycle of violence and vengeance. Stoking the fires of hatred isn’t working. Perhaps it is time to consider something else."Musk added.
