White House Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby answered a question about the possibility of refusing to use SpaceX technologies following “anti-Semitic” statements by the company’s president, Elon Musk. This was reported by RIA News.
Kirby said that despite Musk’s unacceptable statements, the American administration has no plans to abandon the use of SpaceX technologies. He emphasized that it would be foolish to reject the innovations proposed by the private sector.
Musk previously approved a post that claimed Jewish communities were spreading hatred against whites. Musk was criticized for this position. White House spokesman Andrew Bates accused him of promoting anti-Semitism.
Several major US film companies, including Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Paramount and Lionsgate, suspended advertising on the social network owned by SpaceX in response to the owner’s statements. Apple, Walt Disney and IBM also made a similar decision.
Musk himself rejected Accusations of antisemitism in some media. The entrepreneur said that he strives for the best for humanity and wishes prosperity to everyone.
Former American journalist statedThat Elon Musk periodically goes into “demon mode.”
