Elon Musk wrote “Jews are White, if not peak white” on his social media platform X/Twitter on Wednesday.
His post, which currently has over 7.5 million views, came following his statement that white people are going extinct.
“If current trends continue, whites will go from being a small minority of the world population today to virtually extinct!” he wrote.
Musk’s comment was in response to a post claiming that at only 8% of the world’s population, “whites are on the verge of extinction.”
'It always starts with Jews' one user said
“They did a pretty good job making us Jews almost extinct, and as the saying goes… it always starts with the Jews, but it doesn’t stop there,” one X user responded, prompting Musk’s response that Jewish people are white.
The post was given a community note stating that “While there are many white Jews, Jews are not white, Jews are very diverse,” along with several links to Wikipedia articles about Mizrachi and Sephardi Jews.
“I am pretty white,” the user added, to which Musk replied, “It’s easy to figure out by looking in the mirror.”
