Mr Musk visited the site with podcaster Ben Shapiro, founder of the European Jewish Association Rabbi Menachem Margolin, and his three-year-old son X Æ A-XII – despite the fact that Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum recommends children under 14 do not go on the tour.

‘And, you know, there’s this old joke “I’ve got like this one Jewish friend”,’ said Mr Musk. ‘No, I have like two-thirds of my friends are Jewish. I have twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends.

‘I’m like Jewish by association, I’m aspirationally Jewish.’

Yes. He really did use the ‘some of my best friends are Jewish’ excuse.

      “I’m almost a Jew, here’s Ben Shapiro to support me.” – Elon

      Virtually every Jew in the world who isn’t Ben Shapiro: “Get fucked, Elon.”

        Nah, most Jews don’t give a shit - yes I’m their spokesperson but only on this specific topic. Also sounded like a joke.
