Elon Musk's most recent endorsement of a far-right conspiracy theory may have Naked Poison II (2002)caused the biggest blow to the social media company yet.
Apple announced on Friday that it is suspending ads on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, according to a new report from Axios.
This is a big deal and a bad sign for X. Apple had passedon other boycotts or joining with other advertisers in pausing ad campaigns throughout Musk's first year running X. Apple spent approximately $100 million in advertising on the platform last year, according to a Bloombergreport from last November.
Apple's decision to pause ads on the platform comes just days after Musk endorsedan antisemitic conspiracy theory on X, which claims that Jewish groups are trying to replace white people with minority immigrant populations.
Musk's postsbacking these bigoted claims also coincided with a new Media Matters for America report that found ads from multiple big corporations running alongside pro-Hitler and pro-Nazi content. Ads from tech companies like Apple and IBM were among the brands appearing on these posts.

On Thursday, IBM became the first of this group of advertisers to announceits suspension of ads on X. Apple, as well as Lionsgate, followed suit on Friday. It remains to be seen if other X advertisers will follow these tech companies' footsteps.
The EU also said it was pulling adson Friday, although its reasoning was based on Israel-Hamas disinformationthat's been running rampant on the platform.
X has struggledwith ad sales since Musk's takeover. Half of the platform's largest advertisers paused ad campaigns shortly after Musk's acquisition last year. A reportfrom June found that X's ad sales were down 60 percent compared to the previous year.
