Apple suspends ads on Twitter/X after Elon Musk endorses antisemitic post

Apple has paused advertising on X, formerly known as Twitter, after its owner Elon Musk endorsed an antisemitic post on the social media platform, it has been reported.
The suspension was reported by the US news website Axios and comes a day after a similar decision was made by the technology company IBM. The Times contacted both Apple and Twitter/X for comment.
The antisemitic post was published on Wednesday by a user responding to a Jewish man from Florida, US who had shared an advert encouraging people to stand up to racism.
In the advert a father can be seen confronting and then educating his son who had anonymously written “Hitler was right” on the internet.
The advert was shared under the slogan: “You got something you want to say? Why don’t you say it to our faces.
The user responded by saying Jewish people had stoked the “exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them”.
They also said they did not care about the concerns of Jewish people living in the West who he claimed had welcomed “hordes of minorities” into those countries.
He said those Jews were now realising that these immigrant groups did not like Jewish people.
In response to the user, Musk said: “You have said the actual truth.”…
… Jewish groups said the sentiments expressed in the post are similar to those that underpin an antisemitic conspiracy theory, known as replacement theory, which states that Jews are organising non-white immigrants to replace white people.
It was a belief espoused by Robert Bowers before he killed 11 worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, US in 2018.
