Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk has revealed that he will be a guest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and attend his address to Parliament.
Musk said: It’s been found Netanyahu’s remarks came at the Capitol in the early hours of Wednesday morning, ahead of a 2 p.m. speech at the U.S. Capitol. Netanyahu had been invited in June to address a joint session of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
Kelly Phares, senior Capitol Hill producer at Fox News Asked Musk said that if he had been present at Netanyahu’s “speech,” he would have been there.
“Are you planning on attending?” Phares asked Musk.
“I think so,” Musk added.

“So, whose customer are you?” asked Fares.
“Netanyahu’s,” Musk added.
In January, Musk attended a conference hosted by the European Jewish Community at Auschwitz to discuss online anti-Semitism.
Musk later described himself as an “ambitious Jew” after visiting the former Auschwitz death camp.
In November, Musk visited Kibbutz Kfar Aza, one of the communities hit hardest by Hamas terrorists, and during the visit, Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Musk that his social media platform needed to do more to “combat and counter” hatred towards Jews.
Musk has previously been criticized for allowing anti-Semitism to flourish at X and for making statements that seemed to endorse anti-Semitic theories as “true.”
In October, Musk appeared to endorse an account on X that supported Palestinian terrorism, but later removed his endorsement of the account.
