 |
| The White House has accused Elon Musk of perpetuating an antisemitic lie on his social media site X. The accusation comes after Musk agreed with a post claiming that Jewish people harbor a “dialectical hatred” toward white people. In response, Apple and Disney have paused ads on X, and Tesla shareholders are calling for Musk’s suspension. The White House called Musk’s remarks unacceptable and highlighted the need to speak out against attacks on fellow Americans. Ads for major companies like IBM, Comcast, and Oracle have also been found running next to pro-Nazi content on X, leading to further backlash. The rise of antisemitic content on the platform has been a concern since Musk took over. The Anti-Defamation League reported a 900% increase in antisemitism on X following the Israel-Hamas conflict. |
