The Spin

Narrative A

Not only has Elon Musk himself promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories in recent days, but it's unquestionable that the number of hateful posts has risen on X — particularly as Musk reversed numerous bans on firms and users that typically produce provocative content. Advertisers are within their rights to pull their money from X.

Narrative B

This report was produced by manipulating the typical experience of users on X, creating a false impression that adverts are routinely placed next to hateful content. The platform has been working extremely hard on its content moderation policies, and the data that X will provide at the lawsuit will prove MMFA's claims wrong.
