The supporters of both powerful men went on attack, using the same strategy: accusations of Jewish control
Only a few months ago, Elon Musk posted that he loved Donald Trump “as much as a straight man can love another man.” Trump, for his part, performed a PR stunt outside the White House in one of Musk’s Teslas, exclaiming “everything is computer!” But this week, after Trump announced cuts to the electric vehicle tax credit, the bromance came crashing down, with each powerful man slamming the other. The death blow, at least according to Musk, who called it a “really big bomb,” was a post claiming that Trump is in Jeffrey Epstein’s files. “That’s the real reason they have not been made public,” he said in a post.
Supporters immediately took sides. And — as in nearly every other time in history — people lobbed antisemitic conspiracies back and forth. Trump supporters accused Elon of being in Israel’s pocket. Musk’s fans alleged that Trump was controlled by Mossad. Even users who hate both men took the viral moment as an opportunity to connect both men to a shadowy Jewish or Zionist cabal.
“Need Elon to expose how much dirt these Zionist rats have on the politicians,” tweeted one user, excited by Musk’s big reveal.
“Hey Elon, did the Zionist Jews give you the order to attack Trump?” said someone else, who seemed to view Musk’s battle with the president as evidence of foreign loyalties.
“I’m not pro-MAGA, I’m a massive skeptic of Trump. I just see that the Dems and Reps are two sides of the same coin, as they’re all bought by the same coin,” wrote another user, invoking Zionists. “I want a new American party, one that stands against the current paymasters of the country.”
There is, of course, legitimate criticism of U.S. policies on Israel. But little clear political ideology guides these accusations besides hatred for the opponent. Jews, in this instance, were not being blamed for a specific social ill so much as for a specific person’s very existence.

In the Trump-Musk feud, both sides are united by antisemitism
When Trump and Musk began to publicly feud, each man's supporters accused the other one of being corrupted by Jews.
