Sane Take on Elon’s Visit to Israel
Elon makes three points we should all be able to agree with:
-Those who want to murder civilians must be neutralized
-We must stop teaching hate to younger generations
-Try to build prosperity
You’ll notice the ambiguity in his delivery, as not to direct it specifically at one side. The pro-Israeli crowd have taken this statement and used it to fuel their narrative, however, I think he is talking about both sides.
I think Elon will visit Gaza at some point as well, but chose to visit Israel first for optics reasons. To both combat the ludicrous claims of “anti-semitism”, and because it would be easier for the American public to accept, given most of them lean more pro-Israel than pro-Palestine.
Now if Elon were to visit Gaza, he would be doing so having already visited Israel, so the MSM cannot claim a visit to Gaza to be anti-semitic. It would be in the interest of fairness and diplomacy.
Elon has proven himself to be fair and objective. He is willing to meet with people he does not agree with, such as meeting with Senator Schumer to talk about AI regulation. He understands diplomacy requires hearing all sides of the argument, which is why I don’t think this story ends with just this one visit to Israel, and this visit does not mean he is now pro-Israel.
Elon is pro-humanity, and is working towards prosperity of all innocent people on both sides, and I think we should all be able to agree with that. Lets not jump to conclusions just yet, and let the situation unfold before we declare the sky has fallen

Bingo, Clandestine. Your astute observation is far closer to what I’d expect from Elon based on his statements and actions to date regarding social and political incidents and issues. He’s going to get plenty of flack and blowback regardless of what position he takes, but I give him credit so far for trying to bridge a political Grand Canyon.
Since when does a billionaire deliver so many wins for free speech? Or provide a level playing ground for public debate? Or give a fighting chance to the independant journalist? The fact that Musk is more concerned with our first amendment rights than his own pockets tells me the man has been replaced. I'm not going to complain about the superhero personna handing our team huge victories day after day. But I am finding it harder calling him by that name when it's not the same man.
