Recently, one user wrote on the social network that Jewish communities support “dialectical hatred of whites.” Perhaps his post would have gone unnoticed, but Elon Musk commented on it, writing: “You have spoken the truth.”
The very next day, Media Matters for America published a report claiming that ads for a number of companies in X, including Apple, IBM, Oracle, and others, were displayed alongside posts containing far-right conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic content.
Elon Musk, of course, denies everything. He even promised to sue Media Matters for America for fraudulently attacking the company. And X CEO Linda Yaccarino said that the social network is fighting discrimination and anti-Semitism.
However, IBM was one of the first to stop advertising on the social network, and now Apple has joined it. The Axios report, citing anonymous sources, says that Apple is “suspending all advertising” in X. There are no further details on how long this pause will last.
