The purpose and impact of Musk's surprise visit to Israel

On November 27, Musk arrived in Israel. Notably, after arriving in Israel, Musk wrote on X that "actions speak louder than words." He also visited Kfar Aza, three kilometers east of Gaza, in the rain with Netanyahu. Netanyahu said on X that he took Musk on the tour "so that he could see up close the crimes against humanity committed by Hamas." Musk said it was important to get rid of people who were bent on murdering Jews, as was minimizing civilian casualties.

According to reports, Israel said it had reached an agreement in principle with Musk on the use of SpaceX's Starlink communications system in the Gaza Strip. According to the plan, Israeli President Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with Musk on the 27th, of which Netanyahu will also discuss artificial intelligence safety and other issues with Musk, and will hold an online live discussion.

Why would Musk make a surprise visit to Israel at this time? What effect will it have? Reading through the series of foreign media reports, it can be seen that Musk's visit to Israel is obviously "burdened with pressure" and the most important purpose of this trip should be to quell the outcry against his support for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on the social platform X. Since Musk reposted a post on November 15 that spread "anti-Semitic conspiracy theories" and expressed his approval, the move has also sparked controversy that continues to this day. The White House condemned the move as an "abhorrent promotion of anti-Semitic and racist hatred" and stressed that it "runs counter to core American values." Under heavy pressure, including Apple, Disney, IBM, Warner Bros. Discovery and other advertisers have announced that they will suspend their advertising on the X platform.

In response, Musk said on November 20 that there had been "hundreds of false media reports alleging that he was anti-Semitic" in the previous week and that he simply wished humanity well and a prosperous and exciting future. According to reports, due to the storm, X platform's advertising revenue loss could reach $75 million by the end of the year. The following month is the traditional holiday season in the United States, which is also the most concentrated time period for advertisers. If the storm continues to ferment, it is bound to have an impact on Musk's business empire.

Therefore, we can see that the most important purpose of Musk's trip is to eliminate the "anti-Semitic wave" and reduce the impact on his X platform income. Not long ago, Musk announced before his visit that he would donate all the advertising revenue on social media X to Israeli hospitals.

So, what impact will Musk's visit have on the current Israeli-Palestinian situation? Because Musk has the aura of the world's richest man and the huge IP effect, his visits and statements will have a certain impact on the direction of public opinion, which is what Israel needs at present; As for the substantive impact, the biggest was Musk's agreement in principle to use SpaceX's Starlink communications system in the Gaza Strip. The loss of communications support in modern warfare is equivalent to blind combat, as can be seen from the role of the Star Link in the Russian-Ukrainian war that is going on on the other side. Of course, because of Israel's one-sided advantage over Hamas, this statement is actually more of a show of attitude.

Can only say that the old horse is not easy, "out of the mouth", this trip to Israel, more is to wipe the ass for words and deeds. But on the other hand, it also highlights to the public that Jewish capital is too powerful, too powerful to suffocate, so powerful that even the richest man in the world has to compromise and spend money to eliminate the disaster. Because of Musk's previous support for anti-Semitic remarks, a large number of Jewish capital control companies in the United States began to "block" Musk's business, and even affected the White House personally, will support Israel to the "core values", so that Musk's business has recently "hit the wall everywhere." And this is perhaps the biggest hidden danger, whether the Palestinian-Israeli conflict can achieve peace hidden danger!
