Elon Musk to donate all X revenue from war to Israeli hospitals & Red Cross'

 

X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk announced today (Tuesday) that the organization will donate all revenue from content related to the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization to Israeli hospitals and the Red Cross and Red Crescent organizations in Gaza.

"X Corp will be donating all revenue from advertising & subscriptions associated with the war in Gaza to hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross/Crescent in Gaza," Musk posted on X.

In response to a question from a user about how X will ensure that its donations in Gaza do not end up in the hands of the Hamas terrorist organization, which has a history of stealing humanitarian aid for military purposes or to enrich its leaders, Musk wrote that "we will track how funds are spent and go through Red Cross/Crescent. Better ideas are welcome. We should care about the innocent regardless of race, creed, religion or anything else."

Earlier Tuesday, a group of 27 House Democrats sent a letter to Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino accusing X of profiting from accounts that engage in "glorifying barbaric acts of violence against Israelis."

"These reports demonstrated that X is profiting from the spread of this gruesome and harmful propaganda through account subscription fees and ad revenue," the lawmakers added.

Musk has been accused of antisemitism after he responded last week that a user who accused Jews of genocidal hatred against White people was speaking “the actual truth.”

A number of major companies have ceased advertising on X due to the growth of antisemitic content on the platform.

On Sunday, Musk wrote that “this past week, there were hundreds of bogus media stories claiming that I am antisemitic."

"Nothing could be further from the truth," he said. “I wish only the best for humanity and a prosperous and exciting future for all."
