“I Condemn Antisemitism, Doesn’t Matter Whether You’re Elon Musk”: Rishi Sunak

Sunak, in a Bloomberg TV interview, emphasized his aversion to antisemitism, asserting that it is unequivocally wrong, irrespective of the individual involved, be it Elon Musk or an ordinary person engaging in offensive behavior on the street.

President Biden’s office strongly condemned Musk’s “abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate.”
