The New York Times reported that the White House has now made its statement against Elon Musk, and this condemned the tech executive for his recent comments regarding the ADL and the Jewish community in the present. Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, delivered the statement which talked about the antisemitism issue that stems to the darkest of American history.
It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of antisemitism in American history at any time, let alone one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

This came after Musk affirmed a post earlier this week, particularly as the Jewish community faces antisemitism amidst the Israel and Hamas conflict.
Apple Halts All Advertising on X
However, this is not the end for Musk and X seeing companies drop out or suspend their ads on social media company, as according to Axios, Apple halted their ad operations over at the short-word platform. This follows the recent move by IBM which paused all advertising on X after seeing their ads next to pro-Nazi content, something which the company did not appreciate.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and X, attends the AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park on November 1, 2023, in Bletchley, England.
It was only two days since Elon Musk was caught in a massive controversy regarding his alleged antisemitic posts, a.k.a. hate for the Jewish community, centering on his post via X where he condemned the groups. More particularly, Musk claimed that the Anti-Defamation League is campaigning for "de facto anti-white racism," pleading for the group to stop its actions.
Many people viewed this recent statement by Musk as antisemitism, with the X platform torn among users supporting the executive and others, canceling the owner.
It is widely known that this is not the first time that Musk and the ADL have had their disagreements, with the tech billionaire calling them out on several occasions, leading to a lawsuit.
With the internet torn on Elon Musk getting canceled and protecting the executive from the alleged "bogus" claims of the world and state, this still leaves the billionaire under fire and the center of hate in the present. The White House does not approve of Musk's recent statement which was claimed to be an "unacceptable" claim, with Apple also pulling back its X ads.
