X CEO Linda Yaccarino responded yesterday to the suspension of advertising by businesses concerned about antisemitism on the platform. “What we’re doing at X matters and has everyone’s attention. I believe deeply in our vision, our team, and our community,” she posted. “I’m also deeply committed to the truth and there is no other team on earth working as hard as the teams at X. When you’re this consequential, there will be detractors and fabricated distractions, but we’re unwavering in our mission.” Comcast, Apple, Disney and Apple are among the companies that hit pause on advertising after X Corp. owner Elon Musk endorsed an antisemitic post and Media Matters issued a report claiming multiple ads on X appeared next to pro-Nazi content.
