Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu Urges Elon Musk to Balance Free Speech, Fighting Hate on X

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, to find a balance between protecting free expression and fighting hate speech. The call comes after weeks of controversy surrounding antisemitic content on X. Musk had previously accused the Anti-Defamation League of causing a decrease in ad revenue at X, but without providing evidence. Netanyahu encouraged Musk to stop antisemitism and any collective hatred, while also respecting the First Amendment. Musk responded by stating his opposition to hate and conflict promotion. The meeting also touched upon the advancements and risks of artificial intelligence, with Netanyahu highlighting the potential disruption of democracy.
