Apple has reportedly followed IBM by pulling advertising from X, formerly Twitter, as the platform’s owner Elon Musk made posts agreeing with antisemitic conspiracy theories, supporting white pride, and continued a fight with the Anti-Defamation League.

Discovery. Paramount and Comcast / NBCUniversal have paused their ads as well, Axios says in a separate report.
