Watch: Elon Musk visits war-affected Israeli area with Benjamin Netanyahu

Tesla boss Elon Musk visited the war-affected Israeli kibbutz or settlement of Kfar Aza with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A group of Israeli soldiers accompanied Musk and Netanyahu as they inspected the damaged and destroyed houses of the area.

A video of his visit shows him visiting houses with bullet-riddled ceilings.

He was also seen inspecting a crib lying in the ruins.

Musk, owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, has come under fire over what critics say is a proliferation of hate speech on the social media site since his takeover.

He has also been accused by the White House of "abhorrent promotion" of anti-Semitism after endorsing a conspiracy theory seen as accusing Jews of trying to weaken white majorities.

In September, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Musk to combat anti-Semitism on X, calling on him to find "the ability to stop not only anti-Semitism, or rolling it back as best you can, but any collective hatred".

Musk, the world's richest person, said while his website could not stop all hate speech before it was posted, he was "generally against attacking any group, no matter who it is".
