Elon Musk publicly supported U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance on Friday, saying Vance made 'valid points' after the vice president directly called out Israeli cabinet members for reportedly attacking President Trump. Musk's backing adds a prominent American voice to the growing U.S.-Israel political rift over the emerging Iran deal.
Elon Musk publicly backed U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance early Friday, calling Vance's recent remarks targeting Israeli cabinet members 'valid points.'
The endorsement comes hours after Vance directly called out unnamed Israeli ministers for what he described as personal attacks on President Trump. As The Zioneer reported at 21:43 Thursday, Vance warned that Trump is 'the only world leader sympathetic to Israel right now' and questioned the Israeli government's stance on the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement.
Musk, a prominent Trump ally and tech billionaire, did not elaborate further on which specific aspects of Vance's criticism he considered valid. His statement amplifies the pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition from within the American political right, which has splintered over the Iran deal and the perceived ingratitude of Israeli officials.
No official Israeli response to Musk's statement has been reported as of early Friday morning.
