Before this meeting, Israeli PM Benjamin met Elon in California on September 18, 2023, after weeks of criticism over antisemitic content on X. Benjamin asked Elon to strike a balance between safeguarding freedom of speech and hate speech.

Elon responded saying he opposed the antisemitism and anything that promotes hate and conflict. He confirmed that X will not promote hate speech.

But recently Elon has received extreme criticism over his endorsement of an anti-semitic tweet on November 15, 2023, on X. There was an anti-Jewish tweet claiming that Jews were inciting hatred against white people.
