X, which is often the center of political debates, found itself in a political debate this time. Following Elon Musk’s response to a post accused of antisemitism, Musk and his platform began losing advertisers. One of these advertisers was Apple.
A post on platform X claimed that Jewish communities have a “dialectical hatred of whites.” Musk responded to this post by saying, “You told the real truth.”
What happened?
Following this answer, Musk received a reaction from the White House and the Jewish communities invited large companies not to advertise on X.
Apple joins IBM, Disney, Sony, Warner Bros. in removing their ads from X Discovery joined companies such as Lionsgate and Paramount Global. According to reports, large companies such as Apple, IBM, Amazon and Oracle do not want their ads to be placed in the same place as far-right posts.
It seems that X itself is among the companies that Musk has reacted to. Linda Yaccarino, the platform’s CEO, said, “X’s perspective has always been very clear that discrimination by everyone must be stopped – something I think we can and should all agree on. When it comes to this platform – X has also been very clear about efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination “It has been absolutely clear. There is no place for this anywhere in the world – it is ugly and wrong. It must stop completely.” he said.
