In the interview, Sachs blames 'the Israel lobby' for American foreign policy, and defends ousted Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad
Elon Musk praised an interview conducted by Tucker Carlson with economist Jeffrey Sachs, which aired on Carlson's show on X (formerly Twitter). In the interview, Sachs discussed various conspiracy theories, including the notion that the U.S. was behind the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, and made several antisemitic remarks, suggesting that Jewish individuals like Larry Summers and Stanley Fischer were part of a broader conspiracy to control U.S. foreign policy. Musk's endorsement of the interview has drawn criticism for potentially amplifying antisemitic narratives, especially given his significant influence on the platform. The interview also touched on other controversial topics like the origins of the Ukraine conflict and the role of the U.S. in global affairs, further fueling conspiracy theories.
