Elon Musk Faces Backlash for Endorsing Antisemitic Post

The White House condemns Musk's actions, IBM suspends advertising on X, and some Tesla owners and investors consider divesting.

Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, has faced widespread criticism for endorsing an antisemitic post on his platform, leading to condemnation from the White House and other public figures.
The post Musk endorsed echoes the 'great replacement' conspiracy theory, which has been linked to violent acts of antisemitism, including the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.
In response to Musk's endorsement of the post and the proliferation of antisemitic content on X, IBM has suspended its advertising on the platform.
Some Tesla owners and investors have expressed their intention to sell their cars and stocks, and calls for Musk's resignation from his various positions have been made.
Despite the backlash, Tesla's stock has not significantly suffered, and some investors remain committed to the company.
