Major Companies Pull Ads from X Amid Antisemitism Controversy

Elon Musk Threatens Lawsuit Against Media Watchdog Following Report on Pro-Nazi Content

Several major companies, including Apple, Disney, IBM, Lionsgate, Paramount Global, and Warner Bros. Discovery, have pulled their advertising from X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, following owner Elon Musk's endorsement of an antisemitic post.
Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog group, published a report showing that ads from these major brands were appearing next to pro-Nazi and white nationalist content on X.
In response to the backlash and the report, Musk threatened to file a 'thermonuclear lawsuit' against Media Matters and all those involved in what he called a 'fraudulent attack' on his company.
Musk's endorsement of the antisemitic post and the subsequent controversy have drawn widespread criticism, including from the White House, which condemned his actions as an 'abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate'.
Despite the controversy, X CEO Linda Yaccarino has defended the platform's commitment to combating antisemitism and discrimination, stating that there is 'no place for it anywhere in the world'.
