Elon Musk Faces Criticism From Biographer Over Auschwitz Visit: 'He Truly Is a Sociopath'

Tech tycoon Elon Musk has been branded a “sociopath” by his biographer Seth Abramson following the re-emergence of images from Musk’s January 2024 visit to Auschwitz.

What Happened: Abramson, the author of a Musk biography, publicly dubbed the tech magnate a “sociopath.” This severe criticism follows Musk’s photo-op at the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Musk, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump, has come under renewed scrutiny over allegations of antisemitism. The controversy arose after Musk made a gesture during his remarks following the new president’s inauguration, which some observers claimed resembled a Nazi salute.

However, Musk has dismissed the Nazi comparison and in a post on X, he said it is pure propaganda.

The legacy media is pure propaganda.
