Elon Musk Deletes Tweet Telling People to Follow Known Antisemite for Israel War Updates

CNN’s Jake Tapper calls out the X owner, writing that it’s “part Infiniti” of him spotlighting a “bigot” as a source of information

Elon Musk recommended Sunday for his nearly 160 million X followers to follow two accounts for updates on the Gaza−Israel conflict — only for CNN journalist Jake Tapper to prove one of them has a history of antisemitic content.

In a since-deleted tweet that was screenshotted and shared by Tapper, Musk wrote, “For following the war in real-time, @WarMonitors and @sentdefender are good.”

He added, “It is also worth following direct sources on the ground. Please add interesting options in replies below.”

In his own tweet, Tapper had the receipts on War Monitor with screenshots of one derogatory message sent to a user named Avi Kaner.
