Musk’s X is against a report on ads next to hate groups’ posts
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone has said Elon Musk spent the last few days making meritless legal threats and throwing vicious attacks against his enemies online. Earlier this week, Musk said he would sue Media Matters for “knowingly and maliciously” portraying ads next to objectionable material. Media Matters was sued by X after IBM, Comcast and others said their ads were appearing alongside pro-Nazi content.
It is possible that Musk just signed X’s death warrant
IBM has pulled its advertising from Twitter’s ‘X’ after CEO Elon Musk said that it promoted far-right talking points. IBM had an ad next to “pro-Nazi and pro-Hitler content” on the platform, Media Matters and Financial Times pointed out. Earlier this week, Musk wrote on Twitter that he opposed any group that promoted racism and was against the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
