In a recent YouTube interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared his perspective on the ongoing aggression Gaza.

When asked about his hopes for a resolution that minimizes human suffering, Musk acknowledged the complexity of the situation.

He stated that the goal of Hamas was, in his opinion, to provoke a strong reaction from Israeli Occupation, intending to commit severe actions to trigger an aggressive response. Musk emphasized that if Israeli Occupation creates more Hamas members than it eliminates, it hasn't succeeded in achieving its objectives.

Musk proposed an unconventional approach, suggesting that Israeli Occupation should engage in the most conspicuous acts of kindness possible. According to him, such actions would thwart the goals of Hamas. While the interviewer questioned if this implied a "turn-the-other-cheek" philosophy, Musk clarified that he finds it appropriate for Israeli Occupation to identify and deal with Hamas members, either through incarceration or other means.

However, Musk stressed the importance of Israeli Occupation providing essential services, including mobile hospitals, food, water, and medical necessities. He emphasized that these efforts should be conducted transparently to avoid being perceived as deceptive. Musk believes that Israeli Occupation must demonstrate "conspicuous acts of kindness" to address the broader issues at play.

In addressing the challenge of creating long-term peace, Musk posed a critical question: "For every Hamas member that you kill, how many did you create?" adding that "If you kill somebody's child in Gaza, you've made at least a few Hamas members."

He underscored the risk of generating more animosity if the number of recruits surpasses those eliminated. Musk concluded by saying that "if the goal ultimate is some sort of long term peace, one has to look at this from the standpoint of over time. Are there more or fewer terrorists being created?"
