Musk declared that all revenue generated from advertising and subscriptions associated with the war in Gaza would be donated to hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross in Gaza.
Notably, Musk emphasized a commitment to transparency in the donation process.

He stated that his company would actively track how the funds are spent, working through the Red Cross/Crescent to ensure that the financial support reaches its intended beneficiaries and does not end up in the hands of groups like Hamas.
Expressing a humanitarian perspective, Musk stated, “We should care about the innocent regardless of race, creed, religion, or anything else.”

This statement followed accusations of anti-Semitism directed at Musk after he responded to a racist post by endorsing it as “the actual truth.”
The controversial exchange began with a critical rant against a Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism campaign video.
The video depicted a father confronting his son about online hatred, sparking a heated response from a user who dismissed it, claiming that certain Jewish communities propagated hatred against whites.
In response to this, Musk faced allegations of promoting anti-Semitism by seemingly endorsing the user’s viewpoint.
Despite the controversy, Musk’s subsequent announcement regarding the donation initiative underscores his commitment to addressing humanitarian concerns and supporting those affected by the conflict in Gaza.
