Apple and Disney have halted advertising on X following public outcry in the United States in response to an antisemitic post made by Elon Musk.
Several Tesla Inc. shareholders have expressed disapproval of CEO Elon Musk’s statements, with some suggesting his suspension. The White House emphasized the obligation to speak out against attacks on the dignity of Americans. Musk’s comments led to backlash following a report showing ads on X (formerly Twitter) next to pro-Nazi content. Companies like Apple, IBM, Oracle, Comcast, and Bravo suspended advertising.
Musk’s remarks coincide with a rise in antisemitism globally, and his past controversial statements have drawn criticism. Some shareholders advocate for Tesla’s board to take action, while the European Commission and other entities pull ads from X. The situation adds to the ongoing challenges surrounding Musk’s leadership and the platform’s content issues.
