The report comes a day after Musk endorsed an antisemitic post on X that falsely claimed members of the Jewish community were stoking hatred against white people.

X CEO said they’re against discrimination of any kind.
I guess whites aren’t a “kind”.

They tolerated making computers to number Jews during the Holocaust.

I guess IBM doesn’t want people to remember how they helped organize lists of Jews for the Nazis to kill.

“IBM has zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination”

And how many millions of dollars did you give to the racist black lives matter, IBM?

Dude, show us where you were touched on the doll.

Every post you make is some form of Jew bashing.

Pretty pathetic.

I’d put good money down that IBM has contributed money to AOC, Ilhan Omar and Maxine Water’s campaigns...

And if so, how come IBM hasn’t condemned them?

Anyone who knows how IBM got its start might know being next to Nazi content is very appropriate for IBM.

Yeah, companies would be well served to avoid advertising in the same places that IBM does.

Exactly. IBM has good reason to be sensitive about the association.
