Elon Musk's Antisemitic Tweet Sparks Backlash from Disney, Apple and Obama

Advertisers such as Apple, Disney, IBM, and Oracle are reportedly suspending their ads on Elon Musk's social media platform, X, due to an outbreak of antisemitic content, including posts from Musk himself. Despite X's content policy forbidding such content, antisemitic and pro-Nazi posts continue to appear on the platform. Musk faced widespread condemnation for endorsing a tweet promoting the racist "great replacement" theory. Media watchdog group Media Matters for America also revealed major brands' advertisements appearing alongside pro-Nazi tweets on X. Amidst the controversy, IBM, Apple, Lions Gate Entertainment, and Disney have suspended their advertising on X. X's CEO has expressed efforts to combat antisemitism, while Musk alternated between jokes and explanations. This is not the first time X has been accused of enabling antisemitism, and the platform has also faced criticism for allowing neo-Nazis to profit from its creator revenue-sharing program.
