TL;DR Summary

After facing backlash for endorsing an antisemitic post on social media platform X, Elon Musk visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau site, where he was photographed touring the former Nazi death camp with Ben Shapiro. The visit comes after Musk's comments led to major advertisers pulling their marketing dollars from the platform. Musk's visit was ahead of a scheduled appearance at an antisemitism conference in Krakow, and the Anti-Defamation League expressed hope that the visit would result in changes at X. Musk's initial endorsement of the antisemitic post and subsequent criticism of the ADL sparked controversy, but he later apologized for his comments.
