New York CNN —Walmart confirmed on Friday that it is not advertising on X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk and formerly known as Twitter.
“We aren’t advertising on X as we’ve found other platforms to better reach our customers,” a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement to CNN.
A number of prominent brands paused their advertising on X, last month following Musk’s public embrace of an antisemitic conspiracy theory favored by White supremacists.
“I don’t want them to advertise,” Musk said at the New York Times DealBook Summit in New York.
“If anyone is killing X, it’s Elon Musk – not advertisers,” she said.
