Elon Musk Calls On Iran’s Khamenei To Set Hate Aside

Elon Musk has called on Iran’s Ali Khamenei to change his anti-Israel policy, posting on his social media platform X, where the Iranian ruler also is allowed to have an account.

Musk, speaking out on Sunday after the large-scale terrorist invasion of Israel that has killed more than 700 Israelis, said, “Khamenei’s official position is clear that the eradication of Israel is the actual goal, not just supporting Palestinians,” and added, “That will never happen.”

Khamenei who has multiple accounts on X (formerly Twitter) uses the platform to spread hateful speech. Activists have been long urging both Twitter’s former management and later Elon Musk to ban Khamenei from the platform. However. Khamenei was again to publish a post after the attack on Israel, although a note below the post said it “violated the X Rules,” but the company “determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Post to remain accessible.”

Musk addressed Islamic Republic’s ruler, saying, “Stoking the fires of hatred isn’t working. Perhaps it is time to consider something else.”

Khamenei and many other Iranian officials over the years have called for the destruction of Israel and for decades have financed and armed militant and terrorist groups in Lebanon, Palestinian territories and other regional countries.

The Iranian regime has congratulated Hamas for its terror attack, while hundreds of Israelis including women and children have been kidnapped and taken to Gaza under inhumane conditions.
