In a tweet that garnered over 12 million views, Elon Musk warned of how many "lifelong Democrats" are failing to see the rise of antisemitism within their party, in a post he published on X today (Wednesday).

Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech was accompanied by Congressmember Rashida Tlaib holding a sign saying "War Criminal." This led a poster wondering what has become of the Democratic Party, to which Musk replied:

"People who have been lifelong Democrats refuse to accept the clear reality that the Democratic Party is rapidly becoming openly antisemitic.

"The trend is accelerating, not slowing down.

"Knock, knock. Hello, Captain Obvious here!"

MUST WATCH: L.E. Staiman is the Jewish satirist we never knew we needed

L.E. Staiman entertains by blending humor with sharp, satirical commentary, often using absurdity to highlight real issues. His character Lyle Culpepper is a hilariously exaggerated persona of an "anti-Semitic lefty," poking fun at extreme views while exposing their flaws. Through Lyle’s antics, Staiman not only makes us laugh but also pushes us to think critically about antisemitism and misinformation.
