In other news - at least a half a dozen companies have halted their ad spending on Elon Musk’s X. Big names including IBM, Disney, Paramount and Paris Hilton’s media company have all suspended ads on the platform.
And while not all of the organizations are specifying their reasoning for suspension, the moves come after concerns arose over pro-Nazi content on X, as well as Elon Musk seeming to be in favor of an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on the platform.
Additionally, the NFL says it is quote “aware of instances of hate speech on X and have expressed our concerns directly to X both in the past and again in the last few days.”
As for Musk, X has now filed a lawsuit against non-profit Media Matters over what the CEO calls an intentionally deceptive report about anti-Semitism on the platform.
