Elon Musk Calls Out Amazon's Double Standards As Social Media Users Point To 'Hamas-style' Headband Sold On E-Commerce Giant's Platform
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Elon Musk criticized Amazon for pulling ads from his social media platform X after he endorsed an antisemitic post, while Amazon faces backlash for selling 'Hamas-style' headbands and t-shirts. Musk called out the double standard as Amazon paused advertising on X due to pressure from an activist organization. X is projected to lose up to $75 million in ad revenue by year-end, but the impact is uncertain as some advertisers have returned or increased spending.
