US entertainment industry reacts to Elon Musk alleged antisemitism

US entertainment conglomerates have taken a strong stand against the billionaire owner of social media platform X, Elon Musk, over his alleged antisemitic remarks.

According to media reports, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have joined the list of Hollywood studios that disapproved of Musk's alleged antisemitism.

The companies pulled advertisements and promotions from the social media outlet. 

A Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson said Friday that the company discontinued its participation on X.

Lionsgate, Comcast and NBCUniversal also followed suit. 

On Wednesday, Musk expressed agreement with a statement shared by an X user, which implies Jewish communities "have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."

The billionaire owner of X proceeded to share a comment, affirming that the statement indeed reflected the truth.

In another reply on X, he criticized the Anti-Defamation League, noting,  “I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push ... racism of any kind.”

The Anti-Defamation League is a New York-based group that combats antisemitism.

This comes as Israel's relentless aggression against Palestinians in Gaza continues amid the Western countries' support and silence.
