IBM Corp. has abruptly pulled ads from X, formerly Twitter, amid a maelstrom of controversial comments from billionaire owner Elon Musk and the placement of IBM ads.
“IBM has zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination and we have immediately suspended all advertising on X while we investigate this entirely unacceptable situation,” the company said in a statement emailed to MarketWatch.
IBM suspended advertising following a report by the Financial Times on Thursday that IBM ads appeared next to posts supporting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. A Media Matters study also found ads from Apple Inc., Oracle Corp., and Comcast Corp.’s Xfinity and Bravo were adjacent to pro-Nazi content.
On Wednesday, Musk agreed with a post on X supportive of an antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jewish people hold a “dialectical hatred” of white people. “You have said the actual truth,” Musk wrote in response to the post.
Compounding matters, Musk on Thursday said on X it was “super messed up” that white people are not, in the words of one far-right user’s tweet, “allowed to be proud of their race.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Musk said on Wednesday that the Jewish advocacy group the Anti-Defamation League “unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel.” (Musk has threatened to sue the ADL because of its criticism of lax moderation practices on X that it says have allowed antisemitism to spread.)
The cascading conflagration prompted Tesla Inc. TSLA, -3.81% bull and investment adviser Ross Gerber to grumble on X: “Getting a flood of messages from clients wanting out of tesla and anything to do with Elon Musk. Many saying they are selling their cars as well. What is he doing to the tesla brand??!!?!?”

I'm not sure how they're supposed to prevent any ads from being on the same page as pro-Nazi content or why that would make any intelligent person think those companies are pro-Nazi.
I would like to see someone put forward a logical argument that it's fine for non-whites to be proud of their race but not whites. Any such argument would by definition be racist. The person inevitably would claim that whites are evil.
Musk was taken out of context. This is a little trick the Left learned from the devil: when you lie, add a little bit of truth to it.
They’ll be back! As soon as they’re done with this weeks’ gesture of virtue signaling.
I’d add Myorkas, Merrick Garland, Randi Weinbarten, etc etc
IBM? Now is this the same IBM that created a punchcard system for Nazi Germany to organize the Jews in the country for racial purity laws and then for extermination? THAT IBM? That number on Holocaust survivor arms…. That is literally an IBM system generated number! Clowns
lol me thinks the company doth protest too much…
I figure Musk is targeted for being friendly to China and wanting to do business there.
This gets dumped on him as he meets with Xi Jinping and says nice things about “prosperity for all” as in China and the US.
This story and more on the Friday news summary I put on my blog which will be filled with more stories all day long...

I view the ADL in similar light with ACLU. They both do occasional good (often by accident) but are both ‘mired in leftist ideology’.

Whatever
Leftist Jews of which there is no shortage do indeed fear (not without reason to a degree )and fight against western civilization which by definition is white
Now Israel however unfairly is being seen as a white western stand in and being vilified by the kooks
Cut the petard and take the fall
But what to do about Soros and Wyss?
They are the biggest funders of the Jew haters in the streets
This is intersectionalism y’all helped create not me
Michael Knowles said something similar two days ago
Ben Shapiro attacks personally Candace owens
Leftist vanguard Jews are in a pickle of their own making and they’ve got a serious wedge in their party tween the base and elites
Shapiro got it right last month when he stared Israel most resolute support area is not coastal Jews but the conservative south
And it’s not just dispensationalism which I eschew
We know civilization and right and wrong when we see it
I’m a southerner
Nobody parses shit when they demonize us
Including plenty right here
Are some groups more special ?
like Musk did it, the algorithm did it...
Only in the eyes of men. But not in God's eyes. Acts 10:34
Media Matters! Yes, the same filthy depraved homosexual sodomites at Media Matters lecturing about antisemitism.
I would tell David Brock to shove it up his ass, but I know he would enjoy that. /spit
IBM? Hitler’s computer company of choice for the Final Solution?
Elon is right and this is the same crap as so called ‘racism’.
The ADL and others are anti-White and all this outrage over ‘anti-semitism’ at colleges and elsewhere has been where over the last 10+ years as the MSM, the education systems etc have been spouting ever increasing anti-White rhetoric?
“prevent any ads from being on the same page as pro-Nazi content or why that would make any intelligent person think those companies are pro-Nazi.”
1. Technically you can set up algorithms that link ads to content. This is already done - notice that if you google some product, then go to a page which has googleAds, then the ads will be suspiciously similar to the product you were just searching
2. It is subconscious — if you see a product X next to a certain slogan, you subconsciously link them together. It’s not about your intelligence.
Help me out here. These “pro-Nazi ads”, are they the ones in support of Palestinians?
