Tapper claimed that Musk “openly endorsed” an “antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews are conspiring to replace white Americans with minority immigrants.”

When DeSantis said that he had not seen the comments but he knew that Musk had been a target of the political Left ever since he bought Twitter, Tapper responded by showing DeSantis only a portion of Musk’s comments on the matter.
