Today, the white house has claimed Elon Musk has been spreading a ‘hideous’ anti-semetic lie on X. They have been claiming that it ‘runs against the core of americans.’
The White House statement follows decisions by at least two more major corporations to pull their advertising dollars from X after watchdog Media Matters found ads by IBM, Apple and others were placed alongside content promoting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
The White House responded to Elon Musk’s post on Wednesday, they condemned it and called it ‘abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate" that "runs against our core values as Americans."Musk on Wednesday endorsed a post on X that falsely claimed Jewish people were creating hatred against white people, saying the user who referenced the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory was speaking "the actual truth."
The conspiracy theory of the “Great Replacement” says that Jewish and leftist people will lead the way on making predominantly white majority nations into multicultural nations. Apparently it would lead to a “white genocide.”"It is unacceptable to repeat the ‘hideous lie’ one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said, referring to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel…
Elon Musk’s representatives have declined to speak about the issue today. Lion’s Gate Entertainment corp published that on Friday, they would pause their adverts on X. Axios also reported that the world’s largest tech company, Apple. Has also paused their adverts on X. IBM also published its statement that it would halt its adverts for a unspecified amount of time. "When it comes to this platform - X has also been extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination. There's no place for it anywhere in the world - it's ugly and wrong. Full stop," mentioned X CEO, Linda Yaccarino on Thursday (16th November)
Since November 2022, when Elon Musk bought Twitter. A majority of the advertisers on twitter have left the platform. The reasons are the lower amount of moderation on Twitter and a ‘apparent rise in hate speech’ on X. Antisemeticism has been on the rise for many years primarily in the USA and worldwide. Following the outbreak of war between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas after last month's attack, antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by nearly 400% from the year-earlier period, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit that fights antisemitism.
Elon Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla and prime founder of Space company SpaceX, has blamed the Anti-Defamation league for the sudden drop of Advertisers on X.
