Elon Musk, for his faults and missteps, has an insatiable hunger for knowledge and to understand the major issues of the day. It's why he went to the southern border back in September, and why he's in Israel right now.
It's also why he tweeted this earlier today:
Actions speak louder than words
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 27, 2023
Yes, they do.
Elon Musk is in Israel. Right before seeing the self-recorded October 7 footage from Palestinian terrorists, Elon tweeted: “actions speak louder than words.”

Elon is now watching a lot of actions that don’t match any of the words pro-Palestinian accounts put out on X. pic.twitter.com/owfc66DfLw
It will be interesting to see if Twitter/X policy changes after the visit, because the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian accounts are doing a lot of well, frankly, lying on Twitter/X these days.
One of the places Musk visited is Kfar Aza.

Musk's thoughts on this?

We can't imagine what it's like to see the aftermath in person. Just horrific.

He also toured the Knesset before watching footage of the 10/7 Hamas terror attacks.

Musk and Netanyahu also were on a Twitter Space. Give it a listen:
Benjamin Netanyahu & Elon Musk Discuss Israel's Fight Against Hamas Live on Twitter Spaces

"Remember that what Israel suffered on this ignominious day of October 7th was proportionately like twenty 9/11's. So when people say make a ceasefire and Hamas says, 'If we're still… pic.twitter.com/tnrFGzAuAu
The full quote reads:
"Remember that what Israel suffered on this ignominious day of October 7th was proportionately like twenty 9/11's. So when people say make a ceasefire and Hamas says, 'If we're still around, we're going to do it again and again and again.' That's a direct quote…So obviously we can't do that any more than America would make a ceasefire with Al-Qaeda after 9/11, and this is twenty 9/11's so they have to go and they will go...Then I think we can build a different future with the Palestinians."
The full Space is here:

Give it a listen.
🚨 @elonmusk: “Israel 🇮🇱 must do in Gaza what the Allies did in Germany and Japan.”
— Dr. Eli David (@DrEliDavid) November 27, 2023
Strong words.
But, of course, the media has to interject:
Elon Musk, who has been under fire over accusations of antisemitism flourishing on his social media platform, X, paid a visit Monday to Israel. https://t.co/Fmh6GOXGt4
— ABC News (@ABC) November 27, 2023
We love the editorializing context.
The media is despicable.
That moment when Elon Musk has to do the job of some journalists because they're too busy calling Hamas "the resistance" and condemning Israel for defending itself. https://t.co/Y1KjvzDKAy
— Kat Kanada (@KatKanada_TM) November 27, 2023
And they're probably mad Musk is doing the work journalists used to do.
Wow. It’s so refreshing to see someone who has moral clarity. Helps that that person is Elon Musk. https://t.co/To8ofVRu0W
— Hillel Fuld (@HilzFuld) November 27, 2023
The moral clarity is refreshing.
.@elonmusk: "It is one thing to kill civilians accidentally, it is another to revel in the killing of civilians. It's just evil."
— Yoni Michanie (@YoniMichanie) November 27, 2023
An important distinction the Left and pro-Hamas crowd doesn't seem to understand.
“You don’t need to read between the lines. Just read the lines.”
— Daniel Rubenstein (@paulrubens) November 27, 2023
–@elonmusk on the genocidal threats of Hamas leaders
This is especially important given all the sudden 'nuance' over the openly genocidal phrase 'From the river to the sea', and the very clear threats Hamas and its leaders have made toward Israel and its people.
I'm seeing a lot of anger directed at @elonmusk for visiting Israeli kibbutzim destroyed by Hamas.
— Yoni Michanie (@YoniMichanie) November 27, 2023
For distorters and deniers of October 7th, it must be agonizing to see the owner of the largest information sharing platform in the world witness the truth with his own eyes.
There are a lot of people on Twitter/X who are very angry at Musk for going to Israel, and it's probably because they dread Musk seeing the truth with his own eyes, and that it'll impact their ability to spread misinformation about Israel and 10/7.
Good for Musk for doing this.
