The social media network "X" is facing a threat of losing about 75 million dollars in advertising revenue by the end of the year due to companies' dissatisfaction with its owner's statements about Jews and the conflict in the Middle East.

The American newspaper "The New York Times" revealed that after reviewing the platform's internal documents, it became clear that major companies are upset by the statements of businessman Elon Musk, the platform's owner, about the Israeli war on Gaza and his stance on Jews.

Due to these statements, companies such as Airbnb, Amazon, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and others have stopped advertising on the social network or plan to stop doing so.

Disney, IBM, and Apple have also decided to suspend their advertisements on the social media network "X" after its owner Elon Musk's statements about Jews.

There are 100 brands on the list with "completely suspended" ads, and dozens more listed as "at risk," including technology giants, fast-food chains, and political campaigns.

According to the newspaper, many of them made this decision after Musk's statements about Jews on November 15.

Musk had previously commented on a post by a social media user who wrote that "the Jewish population in Western countries is nearing a dangerous realization that many minorities in these countries do not like them very much," and the businessman wrote commenting on the post: "You are telling the absolute truth."

Israeli media previously accused Musk of promoting anti-Semitism after he approved a post from an account on "X" stating that "Jews use against whites the same hatred they ask people to stop using against them," and Musk commented on that saying: "I told the truth."

In response to accusations of anti-Semitism against Musk, he wrote on his account: "Last week, there were hundreds of false posts in the media claiming that I am anti-Semitic. Nothing could be further from the truth."
