Apple Pausing Advertising on X Following Latest Elon Musk Controversy

[fenderbass146]

What did Musk say? The highlight link in the article doesn’t show anything and I don’t use Twitter to delve deeper.

Orginally what he said could easily have been construed as anti-semetic, but he responded again with clarifiation he was refering to orgniazations like the ADL which is Jewish founded organization.He basically said the ADL has been stoking hatred of white people...not that all jews do. You may not agree with his take, but it wasn't anti-semetic, but it's the way of the media now days. They will defend literally a terrorist group who's soul goal is the erasure of the Jewish state of Israel, but if anyone on the right says something that can be construed as anti-semetic, it's all guns blazing. It's incredblly tiresome. I have lots of issues with Musk, but his comment and follow up comments to clarify were not anti-semetic.

He also attacks George Soros, which apparently makes him anti-semetic too....eyeroll. There are plenty of reasons to have issues with George Soros, but none of it has to do with him being Jewish.

Funny how the only topic off limits enough to warrant this sort of response is questioning Jewish power, and how consistently people are blackballed for doing so. Must just be a coincidence.

Maybe Musk should have stuck to a more advertiser-friendly target for his comments, like White people. Advertisers and big tech companies seem to be fine with that.

Yeah, selective racism and preferential human rights. We human NEVER learned anything our ancestors did wrong in this regard and will continue to REFUSE to learn as a whole. It’s way more subtle and civil than before today but still.

I wonder if Linda Yakkity Sax will try to spin this one yet again or finally walk away with that is left of her reputation.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Good job Apple. Don't bring it back this time. There's no need for anti-semitism.

 

[fenderbass146]

please elaborate

It was in context of critizism of the ADL an organization founded by Jews...it doesn't make him anti-semetic..

 

[Wildkraut]

Took a long time for Apple to put the greed below human rights, they should have exited this crap hole already.

Better late then never!

 

[DVD9]

I wonder how long before the app is removed from the App Store?

At this rate, I can see it happening even next year.

I enjoyed watching the iPads being smashed on the sidewalk in Philly. Next time will be even more fun and before long a bi-weekly event.

If apple did the same things these sheeps all say is 'bad', y'all will STILL CONTINUE BUYING AND USING APPLE PRODUCTS. It's just that EM has his opinion about certain narratives that don't fit the minority group that complains a lot so of course he is targeted. There are tons of war atrocities committed daily from Africa and the Middle East, East Asian places as well but of course no one seems to care.

The mental gymnastics people do to try and say things aren't anti-semitic when they are never cease to amaze me. We don't see this kind of spin with other forms of bigotry. Anti-semitism is too widely accepted, and that needs to stop. It is not ok to be anti-semitic.

 

[tubular]

He basically said the ADL which is a jewish founded organization has been stoking hatred of white people...

Which is bat-banana absurd.

His problem with the ADL is that they point out Elmo’s failure to address antisemitism on the platform he’s destroying, and that hurts his fee-fees in a way that makes him lash out at the Jews.

 

[mecloud]

Twitter always needed Apple much more than Apple ever needed Twitter. The equation has only become more lopsided over this past year.

"Mental gymnastics" is saying that any criticism of an organization that happens to be Jewish is anti-semitic, while being okay with walking into any major bookstore these days and seeing a handful of books about "dismantling Whiteness."

 

[tubular]

Nonsense.

If you apply antisemitic claims to *some* Jews, you don’t get to self-exonerate by saying “but but but I didn’t attack *all* Jews.”

 

[bigandtasty]

We all knew this was going to happen. Musk can’t manage the town square of the world if there’s no moderation and if he continues to express his conservative political views.

If he insists on turning X into a Truth Social clone and propaganda machine for extreme right republicans, then Apple has no place on that platform. Good for Tim.

What was it before Musk owned it? A propaganda machine for extreme left democrats, Apple should have had no place on that platform either. Bad on Tim.

 

[tubular]

Now point to anyone outside your own mind who actually said that.

Like Palestinian children in a freshly bombed hospital.

Zero Click forever. We know what Tim Cook supports.

I can only recommend watching this video from start to finish to gain a little bit of understanding what led to all of this

A great quote is, "It has to be possible to feel the pain in one community without denying it in another."
We need compassion for those who are the victims of barbarous acts. We do not need compassion for those who commit them. And there is no doubt whatsoever who committed one on October 7th 2023. What followed afterwards has to be condemned when civilians get hurt or killed. But you have to condemn those as well who use civilians as human shields in the first place.


That aside, to get on-topic again, everyone knew this was coming. It was just a matter of time when the tide on X would shift and the toxic content would take over. The smart ones leave the ship early, or in that case, left.

 

[370zulu]

This thread is rife with hate speech toward a guy who is accused of allowing/promoting "hate speech" by those that hate him. Ironic.

Sounds more like a pack of wolves and a few sheep deciding what is for dinner...

 

[Shirasaki]

"On Wednesday, Mr Musk responded with his "It's the actual truth" comment to a post that accused Jewish communities of pushing "hatred against whites" and which included anti-immigrant sentiments.

It appeared to be an endorsement of a racist and antisemitic conspiracy theory known as "white genocide," which argues that Jewish people systematically plot to encourage immigration of "non-white" people to Western countries in order to "eliminate" the white race."

White House criticises Elon Musk over 'hideous' antisemitic lie

Controversies over antisemitism have engulfed the billionaire and his social network, X.

Wow somehow welcoming migrants is killing white people. Gotta say extremists can really drag anything and everything to support their own agenda, even if the claim they make is factually wrong.

God what did humanity do to deserve a man-child with money, seriously…

Humanity did this to have such a man-child: they let him go way too far and way too deep. Musk won’t do jack***** if we stopped him from succeeding in what he was doing.

Not helpful or conducive to any of this but...

If there is an asteroid that has Earth in it's path...I hope it's gaining speed.View attachment 2313799

PURIFICATION IS AT HAND.

 

[Skyscraperfan]

Very recently Apple wanted to censor a Jewish Comedian (Jon Stewart) when he wanted to talk about Israel, AI and China. So he quit.

 

[fenderbass146]

Nonsense.

If you apply antisemitic claims to *some* Jews, you don’t get to self-exonerate by saying “but but but I didn’t attack *all* Jews.”

accept when the claim has nothing to do with them being jewish...just because you attack something that happen to be a jewish organization doesn't make you anti-semetic. I think BLM is trash (The orgnization is incredibly corrupt and ineffective). That doesn't make me a racist.

It's hilarious the people saying being anti-israel doesn't mean you are anti-semetic are the same people that accuse otherpeople of being anti-semetic when your criticize George Soros or ADL..

 

[FaustsHausUK]

I dare them to pull Xitter from the app store. (Clarification: they should have already, it's a cesspit).

 

[DFZD]

In the cloak of Free Speech, Elon has given a safe space to the absolute worst of humanity.

By cancelling Musk, Apple is defacto supporting anti-whitism

There’s a long history of how antisemitic rhetoric works, the themes it champions, the imagery it uses.

If you don’t know them, you don’t know what antisemitism is, really, in the real world.

Elmo doesn’t understand antisemitism better than the ADL. He’s just too arrogant to notice.

You are stretching reality just as much as the people saying musk is anti-semetic are...unless thats your point.
