Elon Musk is the captain of a sinking ship that is caught in a whirlwind of controversies. In October 2022, Musk took over Twitter, aka X, in a historic $44 billion deal. However, since the acquisition, Musk has witnessed plummeting finances on the platform. The advertisers fled after he acquired the microblogging site, causing a great fall in advertising revenue.
While Elon Musk has been recuperating from the losses, he has embroiled himself in many political controversies. The most recent one was backing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Musk amplified the ‘Great Replacement Theory’, which created controversy. After that, he was invited to Israel to show the conditions during the war. Now, Hamas officials have invited the billionaire to show the destruction caused by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).

Hamas Invites Elon Musk To Witness The Destruction And Massacre
On November 27, 2023, Elon Musk went to Israel to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to look at the destruction caused by the war with Hamas. During the visit, Elon saw footage of the October 7, 2023, attack by the terrorist organization Hamas. On X Spaces, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the war.
On X Spaces, Elon Musk said, “It was jarring to see the scene of the massacre.” Musk suggested Netanyahu eliminate Hamas. Israel’s Prime Minister replied, “You first have to get rid of the poisonous regime as you did in Germany, as you did in Japan. Yeah, in World War II.”
Now, Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, has proposed that Elon Musk pay a visit to Gaza to see the destruction caused by Israel.
During a press conference in Beirut, Osama said, “We invite him to visit Gaza to see the extent of the massacres and destruction committed against the people of Gaza, in compliance with the standards of objectivity and credibility.”

Elon Musk’s X has been going through a slump due to depleting advertising revenue. Revenue has hit an all-time low since Musk acquired X. The advertising revenue dipped by 54%.
Recently, after a report by Media Matters for America, many corporations like IBM, Disney, and others severed ties with X due to their advertisements getting placed with pro-Hitler content.
After the advertisers refused to advertise on X, Elon Musk tweeted that all the earnings on X via advertisements would be directed toward the aid efforts for Gaza. Elon wrote, “X Corp will be donating all revenue from advertising & subscriptions associated with the war in Gaza to hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross/Crescent in Gaza.”
One of the users asked how Elon Musk would ensure that the money would not fall into the hands of Hamas. Musk said that X will be keeping track of the funds. He added, “We should care about the innocent regardless of race, creed, religion, or anything else.”
