TSLA

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is set to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp to address antisemitism amid criticism over the spread of hateful content on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). The visit is part of a two-day event organized by the European Jewish Association, starting on Monday, with Musk also engaging in dialogue with Ben Shapiro in Krakow. Musk's acquisition of Twitter and the subsequent increase in antisemitic content on the platform have led to an advertising boycott by major companies.

MrBeast's video on Elon Musk's X platform, '$1 Car vs $100,000,000 Car', has garnered over 100 million views in less than a week. Skepticism arises due to X's view count policy, which counts multiple non-unique views. MrBeast's decision to post on X versus YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL), is highlighted by his statement that even a billion views on X wouldn't fund his video production costs. The impact of X's Creator Ads Revenue Sharing initiative on MrBeast's earnings is yet to be determined.
