Chikli’s statement comes two days after Musk compared Soros, a billionaire and Holocaust survivor who is at the center of multiple antisemitic conspiracy theories, to a comic book villain.
Musk tweeted “ADL should just drop the ‘A.'” The tweet implied that the group, which is the most prominent antisemitism watchdog in the country, should instead be named the “Defamation League.”
The attacks on Soros come as Twitter has faced criticism over its lax hate speech policies in the months since Musk bought the platform last year.
Musk’s tweet “smelled of antisemitism...[and] immediately brought a flood of antisemitic conspiracy theories,” the Foreign Ministry said.
