SEATTLE — Amazon, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) was among the companies that pulled advertisements from the Elon Musk-owned social media platform X after Musk endorsed an anti-Semitic post on the platform. And on Saturday, the e-commerce company came under a scathing attack from the billionaire.
What Happened: Over the weekend, an X user shared a screenshot of a Daily Mail story that reported that Amazon and Etsy had received backlash for selling “Hamas-style” headbands and “From the River to the Sea” t-shirts. The user also underlined the fact that Amazon paused advertising on X under pressure from an activist organization, which had allegedly told the company that “users might think their ad appearing next to a random user’s post could make them look bad.”
