Elon Musk's endorsement of an antisemitic post on X has led to significant fallout. Tesla's stock fell by 4%, and advertisers, including IBM, have suspended their campaigns on X. The platform has been fielding calls from advertisers concerned about their ads appearing next to white nationalist and Nazi content. Tesla investors have rebuked Musk, with some calling for his suspension and others urging the company to distance itself from its co-founder. The White House has also condemned Musk's actions.
