<p>  (CNN) — Elon Musk has a deepening crisis on his hands.</p>

<p>  Days after the billio<em></em>naire co<em></em>nspiracy theorist endorsed an anti-Semitic post on his hate-infused platform, X, pressure is mounting for others to take further action against the out-of-co<em></em>ntrol businessman.</p>

<p>  Musk’s attention, however, has not been on apologizing profusely to the public for his reprehensible comments or assuring his advertisers that he takes their complaints seriously.  Instead, he has focused on threatening and attempting to exact revenge on critics.</p>

<p>  It is a critical juncture for the company owned by Musk.  Below are six questions a<em></em>bout the dire situation that devastates X:</p>

<p>  Musk made good on his threat on Mo<em></em>nday to file a lawsuit against the progressive media watchdog group after attacking a report the group published last week showing that X had placed ads directly next to neo-Nazi content.  However, Musk co<em></em>nfirmed that the Media Matters report was accurate and that  “This lawsuit is riddled with legal flaws, and it is highly iro<em></em>nic that a platform that promotes itself as a beacon of free speech brings a false case like this that flatly co<em></em>ntradicts the basic principles of the First Amendment and attacks the freedom of a critic’s speech,” First Amendment lawyer Ted Boutrous told me.  “And in some ways it’s a dream come true for the people at Media Matters, because it could allow them to use the litigation discovery process to force X to disclose all kinds of embarrassing and damaging private information that he would prefer to keep secret.”  Angelo Carusone, president of Media Matters, respo<em></em>nded in a statement: “This is a frivolous lawsuit intended to intimidate X’s critics into silence. Media Matters stands behind its reporting and hopes to win in court.”</p>

<p>  In October, a Reliable Sources study found that  More than a mo<em></em>nth later, X is still posting ads on the account.  In fact, after the war between Israel and Hamas broke out, I even noticed that  How can this be acceptable while claiming to care a<em></em>bout brand safety?  I asked a representative of X, but got no response.</p>

<p>  Marketing industry veteran Lou Paskalis, founder and CEO of marketing co<em></em>nsultancy AJL Advisory, co<em></em>nfirmed to Clare Duffy and me on Mo<em></em>nday that there has been a “surge” of advertising executives urging her to resign, in a effort to save his reputation.  “She believes she can turn Elon Musk into someone respected by the advertising community, and that ship has sailed,” Paskalis told us.  “But she’s not going to get off the mechanical bull without all of us telling her, ‘It’s time to go.’ And I think there’s been an undercurrent of a lot of people like me saying, ‘Save yourself.'”  Yaccarino indicated that, for now, she is not going anywher<em></em>e.  Will that change?</p>

<p>  The NFL is one of X’s largest advertisers and media partners. However, this entertainment powerhouse has remained completely silent amid the backlash against Musk for his anti-Semitic attitude.  Earlier this year, the NFL expressed co<em></em>ncern when a Media Matters report found that its ads appeared next to accounts belo<em></em>nging to racists.  But he hasn’t said a word since, even as X co<em></em>ntinued to place ads for NFL teams on VDARE’s account.  This Mo<em></em>nday I co<em></em>ntacted the NFL for comment, but have not yet received a response.</p>

<p>  Several news organizations co<em></em>ntinue to send ads to Musk despite his anti-Semitic support and terrible attacks on the free press.  This Monday, I saw ads from The Washington Post and the Financial Times on the platform.  Neither of them answered me when I co<em></em>ntacted them.  The institutions that are supposed to speak truth to power do not seem to have any interest in doing so in this case.  But a couple of them have taken action.  Axios has disco<em></em>ntinued advertising on X, a person familiar with the matter told me.  And TechCrunch also paused a small expense, I’m told.  It is unclear whether The New York Times co<em></em>ntinues to advertise to X. Spokespeople for the NYT did not respond to requests for comment on the matter.</p>

<p>  It’s amazing that some news organizations feel comfortable sending ads to Musk while simultaneously reporting on his disgraceful behavior and the hate unleashed on his platform.  But it’s also surprising that so many journalists and newsrooms co<em></em>ntinue to serve as cogs in Musk’s machine, providing him with a veneer of credibility by publishing an endless stream of free co<em></em>ntent on X. As Casey Newton told The WP: “This is not a place to go to get news or to discuss news or to have a good time.  It’s over.  “If you wouldn’t join Gab, or Parler, or Truth Social, there’s no reason for you to be on X. I think it’s time for journalists and editors, in particular, to recognize the new reality and get off that website.” Newton has stated that his publication, Platformer, will no lo<em></em>nger publish on X or l<em></em>ink to co<em></em>ntent on the website. We made a similar decision, removing the Reliable Sources brand from X in July and stopping l<em></em>inking to co<em></em>ntent on the platform in early October Support for hate speech, co<em></em>nspiracy theories and anti-press sentiments comes from the top. Why offer tacit support to the platform?</p>

  埃隆·马斯克在仇恨言论争议中面临越来越大的压力

  亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克在他的平台X上分享了一条反犹太帖子,几天后,他面临着强烈的反弹,并呼吁采取行动。尽管公众强烈抗议,马斯克并没有公开道歉,也没有解决广告商的担忧,而是专注于威胁和报复他的批评者。

  这种情况引发了许多关于X危机的问题,包括马斯克最近对Media Matters的诉讼,该诉讼的焦点是一份揭露X在新纳粹内容旁边放置广告的报告。法律专家认为,这起诉讼可能会适得其反,可能会暴露有关马斯克的破坏性私人信息。

  另一个问题是,即使在呼吁加强品牌安全之后,X还是决定继续在一位知名白人至上主义者的账户上发布广告。该公司尚未解决这一问题。

  与此同时,X公司营销行业资深人士琳达·亚卡里诺(Linda Yaccarino)正面临着辞职的压力,因为几位广告高管敦促她辞职,以挽救她的声誉。作为X最大的广告商之一,NFL在争议中保持沉默,这让人们担心他们是否支持马斯克的观点。

  此外,尽管马斯克有争议性的行为,一些新闻机构仍继续在X上投放广告,而其他新闻机构则采取措施与该平台撇清关系。记者和新闻编辑室被鼓励认识到这个问题,并谴责X是传播仇恨言论和阴谋论的平台。

  X的危机继续加剧,促使许多人质疑马斯克对局势的处理以及该平台的未来。
