Musk meets with Netanyahu, his son Yair

Tech billionaire Elon Musk met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his son Yair Netanyahu.

“So grateful to spend time with these two geniuses,” Yair Netanyahu captioned a Tuesday Instagram post featuring a photo of his father and Musk.

The White House hosted the Israeli prime minister on Tuesday. During a press conference later in the day, Benjamin Netanyahu referred to Trump as “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.”

In late January, the elder Netanyahu defended Musk, who has been especially close with Trump in the last year, in the wake of him being accused of doing a Nazi salute amid an event after the president’s inauguration.

“@elonmusk is being falsely smeared,” he said in a post on the social platform X, which Musk owns.

“Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust,” he added.
