Elon Musk and his social media platform, X, have found themselves in deep waters after several top companies Apple, Disney, Comcast, Warner Bros, Paramount and many others suspended their advertising on the platform. The fiasco took place after Twitter, now X, CEO, Elon Musk agreed with a social media post that accused the Jews of pushing hate against the Whites.

It all started with a post from @CWBOCA. The user posted a video of an ad as a part of #StandUpToJewishHate. In response to that, another user @breakingbaht commented:

“Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest sh*t now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much. You want truth said to your face, there it is.”

The post was made by the user on November 16, 2023, and has been viewed by almost 1.5 million people as of this writing. Amongst the one and a half million people, Elon Musk was also the one to view it, and also comment on the post, as the Tesla CEO said:
