Elon Musk has been accused by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) of profiting from the spread of hateful content on X in the context of the Israel-Hamas war. A study highlighted by TechCrunch and reported by other outlets, including Mashable and The Washington Times, found that anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim accounts have proliferated on the platform since Musk's acquisition. The CCDH's allegations suggest that X's algorithms may reward content that targets the conflict, thereby exacerbating the issue.
