Fifteen organizations, including prominent Jewish groups, have declared they will stop engaging with X due to increased hate speech under Elon Musk’s leadership. They criticized X for reducing content moderation and fostering an environment that promotes antisemitism and white supremacy, accusing Musk of amplifying hateful sentiments. Some groups will retain their accounts to prevent misuse by contrary entities. Musk's recent inflammatory remarks and questionable humor related to Nazi figures have further escalated backlash against the platform, prompting organizations to reconsider their presence on it.
In study after study, as well as our lived experiences, X has become a platform that promotes hate, antisemitism, and societal division.
Under the leadership of Elon Musk, X has reduced content moderation, promoted white supremacists, and re-platformed purveyors of conspiracy theories.
Some will maintain accounts on X to ensure our handles are not assumed by other entities with values contrary to our own.
Musk, a self-proclaimed free speech 'absolutist,' has repeatedly claimed he supports open discourse, although critics argue this has allowed hate speech to thrive.
