Elon Musk to Visit Auschwitz With Ben Shapiro as Part of Poland Trip

The Tesla and X boss has been invited to speak at a European Jewish community event in Krakow.

Elon Musk, the businessman who owns SpaceX, Tesla, and X (fka Twitter), visited Poland on Monday (Jan. 22) to address the conference organized by the European Jewish Association (EJA) regarding antisemitism and his personal experience in visiting Israel.

While in Poland, Musk was also set to visit the site of the Auschwitz death camp on Tuesday (Jan. 23) in an apparent atonement for the online maelstrom involving him last November.

Currently, X Corp has been suing the non-profit Media Matters on the grounds that the platform allegedly drove away advertisers by portraying the site as rife with antisemitic content.

The Daily Mail reported that the tycoon was in Krakow to meet with senior political figures from Europe in order to "discuss and find solutions to the astronomical rises in anti-Semitism affecting Europe," the EJA said.

Sideline with Shapiro

The EJA's symposium came shortly before the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp on January 27, a date now remembered as Holocaust Memorial Day.

Musk would also be speaking alongside the Daily Wire's resident Jewish commentator Ben Shapiro.

Previously, Shapiro commended Musk on his show for filing a lawsuit against Media Matters.

"I find it very weird that many of the people who are jumping on that bandwagon - people like Media Matters - are very soft on actual Hamas fans," he said at the time. "What that says to me is that [they have an] ulterior motive. They hate Elon Musk because Elon Musk just does not mirror the Woke priorities of the left."

During the Second World War, one million European Jews and over 100,000 non-Jews died at the camp built by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland between 1940 and 1945.
