Elon Musk's Controversial Remarks Spark Backlash from Media and Tech Giants

Major advertisers, including Sony Pictures, Comcast/NBCUniversal, Paramount Global, Warner Bros Discovery, The Walt Disney Company, Apple, and Lionsgate, have suspended their advertising on X/Twitter in protest over owner Elon Musk's amplification of an antisemitic post. Musk defended his actions, claiming that many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of free speech. The boycott comes after reports that major brands had their advertisements placed next to pro-Nazi content on the platform. IBM has also suspended its ads, and the European Commission has frozen its advertising on X/Twitter.
