A Holocaust survivor who met Elon Musk on his tour of the Auschwitz death camp says the visit was a "performance" by the "uninterested" tech billionaire.<br /><br />Musk visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau site exactly a year ago after intense criticism of how X tackles antisemitic posts and Mr Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory.<br /><br />He was hosted by a group including Gidon Lev, 89, who was at the SS-run Theresienstadt ghetto in the Czech Republic, and lost 26 family members during the Holocaust.<br /><br />Gidon, has been prompted to speak out on the anniversary of the visit, after Musk's controversial hand gesture - which some said looked like a Nazi salute.<br /><br />He described the outing on January 17, 2024, as a “performance” put on by Musk’s handlers.
