to be suggesting that it's new and related to the current talk of who's in charge, and it isn't.

It's fine to use that old video, but both Pakman's video title and the start of his video should have made it clear that it was from September 2023.

Netanyahu was that old. It's barely possible that he didn't know it was that old, but it's more likely he knew and left that fact out to make a bigger deal of the comment.

Which was totally unfair to his listeners, including you.

I can't stand Musk and Netanyahu, but I don't think either of them would be dumb enough to joke around on video like that now. Last year Netanyahu was clearly flattering Musk - as that newspaper article explains, he called Musk "the Edison of our time" in the same conversation - and the president he was insulting by suggesting Musk was more powerful than the president was Biden.
