"Mr. Khamenei's position makes it clear that the real goal is to destroy Israel, not just support the Palestinians. That will not happen. What has happened decade after decade is a cycle of violence." Force and revenge never end. Sparking the fire of hatred does not work. Maybe now is the time to consider another way," Elon Musk, X's boss, wrote on social networks on October 8.

Musk mentioned a post on the same day by Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, which posted a video recording a group of people fleeing a concert in Israel when they heard gunfire.
