Elon musk will donate advertising revenue to Gaza, Israel

Elon Musk, owner of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, announced that he “will send all money made from advertising and subscriptions associated with the war in Gaza to hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross/Crescent in Gaza”.

Musk has come under fire in recent days for calling an antisemitic conspiracy theory the “actual truth” and as a slew of major corporations pulled advertising funding from X over the alleged proliferation of pro-Nazi content.

Musk said on Tuesday he was open to “better ideas” after receiving criticism for his initiative.
