Since Elon Musk, a business mogul, purchased Twitter (now called X), some antisemitic content has been enhanced by the social media platform's vetting process. For instance, the Pittsburgh synagogue gunman trial has received substantial attention on X, which also sparked an increase in vile antisemitic rhetoric and attacks against the Jewish community.

Since the acquisition of Twitter (now called X) by business magnate Elon Musk, the social-media platform’s verification process has “enhanced” certain antisemitic content. For example, extensive coverage of the trial of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter on X has “also sparked an increase in vile antisemitic rhetoric and attacks against the Jewish community.”

That’s according to a letter that the Secure Community Network, the North American Jewish community’s official security organization, emailed to Musk on Aug. 10 urging better monitoring of antisemitic and violent posts.
