Anti-Semitism Row: Advertisers Who Left X Cursed At By Musk
Hindustan Times
|December 01, 2023
Billionaire Elon Musk said on Wednesday that advertisers who have halted spending on his social media platform X in response to antisemitic and other hateful material are engaging in "blackmail" and, using a profanity, essentially told them to go away.

 "Don't advertise," Musk said.
He appeared to specifically call out Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger, saying, "Hey Bob, if you're in the audience ... that's how I feel."
In an on-stage interview at The New York Times DealBook Summit, Musk also apologised for endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory in response to a post on X that helped fuel an advertiser exodus.
The comments come just two days after Musk visited Israel, where he tour a kibbutz attacked by Hamas militants and held talks with top leaders.
