United States: Big US firms like Disney and Warner Bros. have withdrawn advertising and promotions from X, citing a recent antisemitic remark posted by Mr. Elon Musk.
Mr. Musk, Chairman of X, agreed with a post on X that wrongly stated Jewish individuals were inciting hate against white people. He supported the user who mentioned the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, stating they were sharing “the real truth.”
A Lionsgate, an entertainment company, spokesperson said that the entertainment company “has suspended advertising on X because of Elon Musk’s recent antisemitic tweet.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Warner Bros. noted that the company had “paused” its presence on X, though it was already believed to be minimal.
That theory suggests that Jewish individuals and left-leaning groups are orchestrating the ethnic and cultural substitution of white populations with non-white immigrants, a process purported to result in a “white genocide.”
Lions Gate Entertainment and Paramount Global revealed they were suspending advertising. Additionally, reports emerged that Apple, the world’s biggest company by market capitalization, was also withdrawing its ads.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) stopped its advertising on X after a report from Media Matters for America, a left-leaning media watchdog, revealed that its ads were appearing alongside pro-Nazi content.
The Tesla CEO stated his intention to file a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against Media Matters and those involved in what he described as a deceitful attack on his company.
Mr. Musk later posted on X that, “many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of your right to free speech.”
