Ten days before President Trump’s inauguration, the world’s wealthiest man, Elon Musk, posted a significant video on his platform X, voicing strong support for Israel. In the video, Musk addressed the need for a change in approach toward Hamas and the future of the Gaza Strip.
“A Threat to the United States as Well”
Musk stated that Hamas poses a threat “not just to Israel but also to the United States.” He made a solid and tough stance against the terrorist organization, and stressed the necessity of a profound overhaul of Gaza’s education system – before he addressed reconstruction or economic development.
Musk drew inspiration from the historic Marshall Plan, comparing Gaza’s current situation to post-WWII Germany and Japan, when the U.S. aided in rebuilding these nations after their defeat and turned them into allies:
“After World War II, with Germany and Japan, they were defeated. It’s clear they did terrible things, but they changed their education systems, and we helped rebuild Japan and Germany through the Marshall Plan,” Musk said.

“Kids are Taught to Hate From the Moment They Can Speak”
Regarding Hamas, Musk said, “They want to slaughter Israelis and Americans, and that can’t be tolerated.” He emphasized that “these people need to be killed or imprisoned, or they will just keep trying to kill more Israelis and Americans.”
Musk also criticized Gaza’s educational approach, stating, “They teach children to hate from the moment they can speak, and this must be stopped for long-term peace.”
In conclusion, Musk acknowledged the need for future solutions, saying, “There must be economic prosperity in Gaza. I believe there can be peace there.”
