yekke2 and yeshivaguy: Yes, R’ Elyashiv Assered going to the Kosel on Shabbos. There are some people in certain parts of the old city (I know one of them personally) who refused to leave their houses on Shabbos because of this. They met with R’ Elyashiv and he told them that in their situation they can be Mitzaref many Shittos to be Meikil and that they’d lose more than they’d gain by being Machmir here (no T’fillah B’Tzibbur, lack of Oneg Shabbos, etc.)
Some people have claimed that they explained how a modern digital screen works to R’ Elyashiv and that he then was Chozer. Some close to him have claimed that they are lying and that he was never Chozer.
