Elon Musk faced widespread criticism on X after sharing a post related to Muharram, with thousands of users accusing the billionaire of applying a double standard and questioning the intent behind the post.

Among the most-liked replies was a post that read, “Bet he won’t share this clip from NYC,” accompanied by a video claiming to show a large Jewish congregation gathering in New York. The user argued that similar religious gatherings take place regularly without attracting the same attention.

Another widely shared reply featured a meme asking, “Why are there so many Muslim refugees?” The image depicted an Arab family carrying luggage while suggesting they were fleeing their country because of US and Israeli military actions.

A separate user wrote, “Shia’s are the worst nightmare of Epstein class,” alongside an old photograph of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Another commenter challenged Musk directly, writing, “Just say you are racist, no need to hide anymore.”

Many other users questioned why Musk had shared the original post, arguing that large religious gatherings are common across different faiths.

One reply stated: “What exactly is your point? I don’t understand. This photo shows tens of thousands of Jews gathered in the heart of New York. So what is the issue with thousands of Muslims gathering in a society that includes tens of millions of Christians to observe one of their religious rituals?”

The post generated thousands of comments, with users divided over Musk’s decision to share the content and debating whether similar posts involving other religious communities would receive the same attention.
