The White House has accused Elon Musk of repeating an "ugly lie" about Jews after the X owner appeared to respond with approval to an anti-Semitic post on the platform, the BBC reports.

On Wednesday, Musk responded to a tweet sharing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, calling it "the actual truth."

Musk has denied that the post was anti-Semitic.

But a White House spokesman said his approval of the post, which drew outrage online, was "unacceptable".

"We condemn this despicable promotion of anti-Semitic and racist hatred in the strongest possible terms," ??White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.

He noted that the post Musk was responding to referred to a conspiracy theory that motivated the man who killed 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018.

"It is unacceptable to repeat the horrific lie after the deadliest act of anti-Semitism in American history at any time, let alone a month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust," Mr. Bates said, referring to Hamas' October 7 . attack against Israel.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino wrote in an earlier tweet that the company has been "extremely clear about our efforts to fight anti-Semitism and discrimination. It has no place anywhere in the world - it's ugly and wrong." ./ CNA
