Don Lemon, the former CNN host, is backing Elon Musk’s trip to Israel after the tech mogul landed in the Middle East on Monday to inspect the destruction left by Hamas.
Key Takeaway
Don Lemon supports Elon Musk’s visit to Israel, emphasizing the importance of gaining firsthand knowledge and understanding, even in the face of controversy and accusations of antisemitism.
Lemon, who arrived at LAX on Monday, shares that the billionaire’s journey may be seen as a damage control attempt following accusations of antisemitism. However, Lemon believes that Elon will still gain valuable insights, whether it’s a public relations move or not.
In case you missed it, Elon wrote on X that there was “truth” in a post suggesting that Jews harbor hatred towards whites, which understandably received widespread criticism.
Don believes that the more Elon sees during his trip, the better, including the damage inflicted by Israel on Gaza, although he warns that he should only visit if it’s safe to do so.
While Elon is a divisive figure, Don highlights his contributions to the electric vehicle and space industries, which have made him an influential figure in world history. Naturally, it should be seen as a positive sign that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is showing him around the country.
Government officials joined Elon during the tour of the remnants of the October 7th terrorist attack in one of the targeted villages.
EM’s trip comes during a brief window of opportunity, with Israel and Hamas agreeing to a temporary ceasefire while they negotiate the release of hostages and the delivery of aid to Gaza.
