<ul class="summary-list"><li>Elon Musk is cosplaying statesmanship.</li><li>Musk is visiting Israel after being criticized for endorsing an antisemitic post on X.</li></ul><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-ceo-elon-musk">Elon Musk</a> is back in his statesman costume.The world's richest man and X owner <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tours-site-hamas-attack-israel-netanyahu-antisemitism-2023-11">arrived in Israel on Monday</a> to visit the scenes of Hamas' October 7 terrorist attacks during a temporary ceasefire between the two sides.He spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a live <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/netanyahu/status/1729112906242159005?s=20">X Spaces call</a>; he has met the families of hostages; visited destroyed kibbutzim; and reportedly pored over body cam footage provided by Israel from the attack last month.In press images handed out by the Israeli government, Musk is shown sporting a flak jacket and a somber look as he toured Kfar Aza, a kibbutz located a few kilometers from the border with the Gaza Strip and the site of a brutal massacre on October 7.Elsewhere, he is shown in a pose typically reserved for world leaders.<div type="image" title="Elon Musk and Israeli President Isaac Herzog" height="2396" width="3500" msid="105569099" hostid="261"></div>"Trite as it may sound, I wish for world peace," <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1729222867890651456?s=20">he wrote on X</a> after the live chat with Bibi.In a conversation with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, he said "there's no choice but to kill those who insist on murdering civilians."While American CEOs have expressed strong support for Israel, none have so publicly straddled the line between diplomacy and business in this way. But Musk's varied corporate interests place him unusually close to governments, with unusual frequency.Behind the scenes of this diplomatic show, Musk appears to have agitated for his corporate interests.Prior to his visit, Musk said he wanted to supply internet connectivity to organizations in Gaza, which has suffered blackouts after Israeli strikes.Israel's communications minister Shlomo Karhi <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-offers-starlink-internet-services-aid-organizations-gaza-2023-10">condemned</a> the idea, saying Hamas would co-opt Starlink connectivity to plan "terrorist activities."On Monday, as Musk visited, Israel softened its stance, with Karhi saying Musk <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starlink-can-operate-in-gaza-if-israel-controls-satellites-official-2023-11">could provide satellite-powered internet connectivity to Gaza</a> with <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/shlomo_karhi/status/1729028213991514477?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet">Israel's permission</a>. Musk has yet to confirm a deal.Musk has earlier blurred the lines of diplomacy and business by weighing in on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, controversially criticizing the latter's counteroffensive as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-scorn-ukraine-summer-counteroffensive-2023-9">"so much death for so little."</a> Starlink began <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-starlink-internet-connectivity-backbone-ukraine-war-drone-2023-2">providing internet connectivity for Ukraine</a> after the invasion, though Musk is yet to visit.The tycoon has also used his ownership of X, still the fastest way to broadcast unfiltered opinions to his 165 million followers, to take controversial positions on international affairs.Earlier this month, riots broke out in Dublin, Ireland following reports of a knife attack on a woman and three young children at a primary school. Anti-immigration activists suggested on social media that the suspect was a foreigner, fuelling far-right protests and violence in the Irish capital.Drew Harris, commissioner of the Garda, Ireland's national police, described the rioters as "complete lunatic faction driven by far-right ideology."Prime Minister Leo Varadkar called <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-ireland-pm-politics-dublin-riots-incitement-hatred-2023-11">for laws on incitement to hatred to be updated.</a>Musk's response? "Ironically, the Irish PM hates the Irish people."As an approach to business development, none of this looks particularly sure-footed.Musk's trip to the Middle East comes days after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/musk-faces-consequences-for-calling-antisemitic-tweet-actual-truth-2023-11?r=US&amp;IR=T">his apparent endorsement</a> of an antisemitic post by another user on X. "You have said the actual truth," Musk told the user, who criticized "western Jewish populations" in their post. The exchange was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-elon-musk-antisemitic-tweet-2023-11">condemned by the White House as "abhorrent" antisemitism</a>, a charge denied by Musk. Esther Solomon, editor-in-chief of Israeli newspaper Haaretz, labelled Musk a "blatant antisemite" and slammed Netanyahu for entertaining the tycoon.And X is battling <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ebiquity-data-most-advertisers-stopped-spending-x-twitter-2023-10">with an advertiser exodus</a> as brands fret about digital ads appearing next to racist and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ibm-pulls-advertising-x-report-finds-ads-antisemitic-posts-2023-11">even pro-Nazi content</a> on the platform, particularly amid the Israel-Gaza conflict.Business Insider's Lara O'Reilly reported in October that most major brands have halted ads on X. A <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/24/business/x-elon-musk-advertisers.html">report from The New York Times</a> last week, based on internal documents, suggested X could lose up to $75 million in revenue from companies fed up with Musk's online posting.

He along with other candidates <a href="http://nofossilfuelmoney.org/presidential-signers/">pledged not to take any money</a> from the industry. The 2020 Democratic presidential candidate discussed climate change policy, as part of a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/04/politics/climate-town-hall-schedule-time/">seven-hour marathon Q&amp;A session</a> that included individual sessions with 10 of the Democratic candidates.The 76-year-old has already released a <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/04/biden-climate-plan-1352663">$1.7 trillion plan</a> to fight climate change and signed a pledge to reject funding from the industry in June. "How can we trust you to hold these corporations and executives accountable for their crimes against humanity when we know tomorrow you are holding a high-dollar fundraiser hosted by Andrew Goldman, a fossil fuel executive?" asked audience member Isaac Larkin. "He's not a fossil fuel executive," Biden quickly responded, before pivoting to his plan to hold fossil fuel executives and corporations responsible. <a href="https://theintercept.com/2019/09/04/after-climate-forum-biden-heads-to-a-fundraiser-co-hosted-by-a-fossil-fuel-executive/">The Intercept</a> reported on Wednesday that Biden was scheduled to attend a fundraiser in New York on Thursday by Andrew Goldman, co-founder of Houston-based natural gas production company Western LNG. The company's <a href="https://www.westernlng.com/news/wison-offshore-marine-awarded-feed-contract-for-a-floating-liquefaction-project-from-western-lng-llc">leading project</a> is an offshore floating gas production facility designed to provide Canadian gas to the growing market in Asia."I was told by my staff he doesn't have any responsibility related to the company," Biden added later after moderator Anderson Cooper followed up. "If that turns out not to be true, then I will not, in any way, accept his help." Biden's campaign stressed that Goldman has no present responsibilities with Western LNG or its board, according to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2019/democrats-climate-town-hall/joe-biden-climate-change">New York Times</a>.Goldman, is "not involved in the day to day operation" of the company, according to a tweet from Biden spokeswoman <a href="https://twitter.com/SymoneDSanders/status/1169403850928902144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1169403854120787968&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fpolicy%2Fenergy-environment%2F460019-biden-defends-plan-to-attend-fundraiser-sponsored-by-former-fossil">Symone D. Sanders</a>. "He's not on the board of the company, nor the board of the portfolio company.""VP Biden signed a pledge not to take money from fossil fuel executives," she continued. "He stands by it, and he has not violated it."Before co-founding Western LNG, Goldman served as an adviser to Biden until he entered the White House in 2009, CNBC reported.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-solicits-big-money-wall-street-after-climate-town-hall-2019-9?r=US&amp;IR=T">Joe Biden will solicit big money from Wall Street donors right after participating in CNN's climate town hall</a>According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/04/joe-biden-goes-to-wall-street-for-fundraisers-after-climate-town-hall.html">CNBC</a>, Biden was slated to attend two fundraisers on Thursday hosted by Wall Street executives - the first hosted by Jack Rosen, the CEO of real estate firm Rosen Partners and president of the American Jewish Congress, and the second held by David Solomon and Goldman, partners at investment firm Hildred Capital Partners.Biden has refused to take money from corporate lobbyists in this election cycle, though a major fundraiser was held at the beginning of his campaign and was <a href="https://www.apnews.com/e401e975eb88468a951a347f59d6a5ac">hosted by David L.
