After Elon Musk slammed the companies that suspended their advertisements from X (formerly Twitter) due to his controversial tweet, journalist Megyn Kelly jumped into the fiasco as she defended X and the owner, Elon Musk. She lashed out at the media watchdog group Media Matters, reporting that ads of companies like Amazon, IBM, and even Disney are being placed beside anti-semitic posts.
In The Megyn Kelly Show, the journalist bashed the media group and called out MSNBC for calling Elon anti-Semitic.
“The New York Times, The LA Times, brutally every publication. MSNBC, which, as far as I know still employs Mehdi Hasan, among others, who is like the chief Hamas defender on Television. They are outraged at the anti-semitism here, allegedly by Elon, by X. SPARE ME!” Megyn Kelly said.
She also took to X and accused Media Matters of a “hit job” against Elon Musk. Megyn Kelly said:
The fiasco happened when several companies such as Apple, Disney, Comcast, Warner Bros, Paramount, and Amazon, among many others, decided to withdraw their ads and pause their campaigns on X. The decision came after Elon Musk allegedly promoted an anti-semitic tweet by a user @CWBOCA, which reportedly showed how Jewish communities have been spreading hate against Whites.
Elon Musk then reportedly commented on it by saying how the users have “said the actual truth.” All of this made the companies suspend their advertisements, which infuriated Musk, who then tweeted and claimed that he would file a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against these companies.
As many people came out in Elon Musk’s defense, Megyn Kelly’s comments also brought in a lot of opinions from the masses.
