Elon Musk's Antisemitism Sparks Controversy and Support
TL;DR
After several big companies suspended their advertising campaigns on X (formerly known as Twitter) due to Elon Musk's endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory, right-wing media companies and influencers have pledged support for Musk by promising to advertise on X to make up for the lost revenue. Seth Dillon, CEO of Babylon Bee, announced a $250,000 ad spend, followed by YouTuber Tim Pool. Other right-wing figures and companies have also pledged smaller amounts. However, these pledges cannot fill the revenue hole left by the departing big brands and corporations.
