Elon Musk recommended tracking two accounts for updates on the Gaza-Israel conflict, but one of them was discovered by CNN's Jake Tapper to contain antisemitic content. 

In a now-deleted tweet that was captured in a screenshot and subsequently shared by Tapper, Musk expressed:

"For following the war in real-time, @WarMonitors and @sentdefender are good." 
“It is also worth following direct sources on the ground. Please add interesting options in replies below,” said Musk. 

In his own Twitter post, Tapper provided evidence of War Monitor's actions, including screenshots of a derogatory message sent to a user named Avi Kaner.  

He stated, "Elon Musk lauds this bigot as a good source of information, part Infiniti." 

Subsequent to the deletion of his tweet, Musk tweeted independently on Sunday. 

“As always, please try [to] stay as close to the truth as possible, even for stuff you don’t like. This platform aspires to maximize signal/noise of the human collective.”
