White House on Friday condemned Elon Musk's endorsement of what it called a «hideous» antisemitic conspiracy theory on X, while major U.S. companies including Walt Disney Co, Warner Bros Discovery and NBCUniversal parent Comcast paused their advertisements on his social media site. Musk on Wednesday agreed with a post on X that falsely claimed Jewish people were stoking hatred against white people, saying the user who referenced the «Great Replacement» conspiracy theory was speaking «the actual truth.» That conspiracy theory holds that Jewish people and leftists are engineering the ethnic and cultural replacement of white populations with non-white immigrants that will lead to a «white genocide.» The White House accused Musk of an «abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate» that «runs against our core values as Americans.» «It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie… one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust,» White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said, referring to the Oct.

TikTok and X, formerly Twitter, were swept up in controversies this week, one involving an unearthing of a two-decade old screed by Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States. Facebook and Instagram owner Meta is also facing pushback from users accusing the company founded by Mark Zuckerberg of over-censorship of pro-Palestinian content. The problems have cast a harsh light on content moderation policies at the big platforms after a big cost-cutting campaign last year saw trust and safety teams gutted. For TikTok, the risks are real as it faces a threat to be outright banned in the United States, under suspicion that its powerful algorithm is ultimately under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. Those calls were renewed when it emerged on Thursday that videos promoting bin Laden's «Letter to America» went viral, 22 years after he wrote it. Bin Laden's deeply anti-American writing explained his reasons for masterminding plane attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people. Searches for the letter were eventually banned by TikTok which minimized the reach of the videos.

Apple, which spends tens of millions of dollars a year on X, also suspended advertising on the platform, a person with knowledge of the situation said. They followed IBM, which cut its spending with X on Thursday.
