THE A1

Musk's Xtremism

Elon Musk has an ever-deepening crisis on his hands.

Days after the billionaire conspiracy theorist endorsed an antisemitic post on his hate-drenched platform, X, there is mounting pressure for others to take additional action against the unhinged businessman.

Musk's attention, however, has not been focused on profusely apologizing to the public for his reprehensible remarks, nor has it been on ensuring his advertisers that he takes their complaints seriously. Instead, it has been on threatening and trying to exact revenge on critics.

It's a critical juncture for the Musk-owned company. Here are six questions about the calamity besieging X:

► What is Musk doing with his lawsuit against Media Matters? Musk on Monday made good on his threat to file a lawsuit against the progressive media watchdog after lashing out over a report the group published last week showing that X had placed advertisements directly adjacent to neo-Nazi content. But Musk has effectively confirmed that the Media Matters report was accurate and that X did run ads against hateful content, which seems to take the teeth out of his complaint. "This lawsuit is riddled with legal flaws, and it is highly ironic that a platform that touts itself as a beacon of free speech would file a bogus case like this that flatly contradicts basic First Amendment principles and targets free speech by a critic," First Amendment attorney Ted Boutrous told me. "And in some ways it’s a dream come true for the people at Media Matters because it could allow them to use the litigation discovery process to force X to divulge all sorts of embarrassing, damaging private information that it would much rather keep secret." Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters, responded in a statement, "This is a frivolous lawsuit meant to bully X’s critics into silence. Media Matters stands behind its reporting and looks forward to winning in court."

► Why is X still placing ads on the account of the internet's most notorious white supremacist account? In October, a Reliable Sources review found that X had placed ads for a cohort of major companies and organizations on the verified profile account of VDARE, an openly racist, white supremacist outlet that publishes some of the most vile content on the internet. Well over a month later, X is continuing to serve up ads on the account. In fact, after the Israel-Hamas war broke out, I even noticed X had placed an ad for the official @Israel account on VDARE, which pumps out some of the most reprehensible antisemitic poison on the internet. How is this acceptable while claiming to care about brand safety? I asked an X representative, but did not get an answer.

► Will Linda Yaccarino stay at X? Marketing industry veteran Lou Paskalis, the founder and chief executive of marketing consultancy AJL Advisory, confirmed to Clare Duffy and me on Monday that there has been a "groundswell" of advertising executives urging her to call it quits, in an effort to save her reputation. "She believes that she can mother Elon Musk into someone who could be respected by the advertising community, and that ship has definitely sailed," Paskalis told us. "But she’s not going to come off the mechanical bull without all of us telling her, 'It’s time to go.' And I believe that there has been a groundswell of a lot of people such as myself saying, 'save yourself.'" Yaccarino has indicated that, for now, she’s not going anywhere. Will that change?

► How long will the NFL remain silent? The NFL is one of X's top advertisers and media partners. But the entertainment powerhouse has remained entirely silent amid the backlash against Musk over his antisemitic embrace. Earlier this year, the NFL expressed concern when a Media Matters report found its ads were appearing next to accounts belonging to racists. But it has not said a word since, even as X continued placing ads for NFL teams onto VDARE's account. I reached out to the NFL on Monday for comment, but have yet to hear back.

► Will news outlets pull ads? Several news organizations continue to send Musk ad dollars amid his antisemitic endorsement and appalling attacks on the free press. On Monday, I spotted ads for The Washington Post and the Financial Times on the platform. Neither outlet returned comment when I reached out. The institutions that are supposed to speak truth to power apparently have no interest in doing so here. But a couple hav taken action. Axios has paused advertising on X, a person familiar with the matter told me. And TechCrunch also paused a small spend, I'm told. It's unclear whether The New York Times is continuing to send ad dollars to X. Spokespeople for The NYT did not respond to requests for comment on the matter.

► When will newsrooms disassociate from X? It's astonishing that some news organizations are comfortable sending Musk advertising dollars as they simultaneously report on his shameful behavior and the hate ballooning on his platform. But it is also striking that so many journalists and newsrooms continue to serve as cogs in the Musk machine, providing him the veneer of credibility by posting a stream of endless free content on X. As Casey Newton told The WaPo, "This is not a place where you should be going to get news or to discuss news or to have a good time. It is just over. If you wouldn’t join Gab, or Parler, or Truth Social, there’s no reason you should be on X. I think it’s time for journalists and publishers, in particular, to acknowledge the new reality and to get the heck off that website." Newton said that his publication, Platformer, will no longer post on X or link to content on the website. We made a similar decision, pulling the Reliable Sources brand off X in July and ceased linking to content on the platform in early October. The endorsement of hate speech, conspiracy theories, and anti-press sentiment flows from the very top. Why offer tacit support by engaging with and promoting the platform?

Killed In Conflict: At least 50 journalists and media workers have been killed since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Monday night, calling it a "grim milestone." CPJ said the second-deadliest day of the war occurred over the weekend, on Saturday, when the group recorded five journalists killed. The mounting toll, which has far surpassed the 15 journalists killed so far in Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine, underscores the extreme danger posed by the raging conflict in Israel and Gaza.

ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR

The WaPo issued a correction on Sunday after reporting Saturday night that Israel had reached a tentative agreement with Hamas to exchange hostages in exchange for a five-day ceasefire. The correction, which came about 18 hours after the outlet quietly edited its story to walk back the big claim, happened only after the paper was asked about the stealth edit. (POLITICO)

THE INDUSTRY

Reeled In by RedBird: The Jeff Zucker led investment firm, RedBird IMI, said Monday it had agreed to a deal that — if approved — would give it control of the iconic U.K. publications, The Telegraph and the Spectator. The agreement would mean RedBird IMI would provide a loan to the Barclay family, the previous owners of the publications, which would allow it to bring the outlets out of receivership. "Under the terms of this agreement, RedBird IMI has an option to convert the loan secured against the Telegraph and Spectator into equity, and intends to exercise this option at an early opportunity," RedBird IMI said, adding that the deal would, of course, be subject to regulatory review. The Guardian's Alex Lawson, who reported that the proposal is already facing some scrutiny, has more.

First in Reliable | Catching Kafka: Peter Kafka is heading back to Business Insider. Back in 2007, Kafka was the first hire at Silicon Alley Insider, which later morphed into BI. Now the prodigal son will return. I'm told Kafka will depart Vox Media, where he has for years served as a senior correspondent, in December. He will then start his new role at BI in early January. Fans of Kafka's Recode Media podcast can also rest assured: The pod will continue under the Morning Brew banner.

► BI Editor-In-Chief Nicholas Carlson: "Back in the summer of 2007, Peter told me to come work for SAI – which eventually became Business Insider. By the time I did, he was off to other things. For years, people told me the site was great – but where did Peter go? Well…we finally got him back, and I couldn't be more thrilled!"

Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall returned for the first time to Ukraine since the attack that left him severely injured and which killed photojournalist Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova. He sat down with President Zelensky for an interview that will air Tuesday evening.
The trip, Fox News said, was organized after Zelensky invited Fox Corporation boss Lachlan Murdoch to visit the country. Notably, the visit come after Murdoch fired Tucker Carlson, one of the loudest voices on the right against U.S. aid to the country, earlier this year. That said, the right-wing channel is still rife full of anti-Ukraine narratives. A Fox spokesperson declined to comment on what the two discussed. But Ukraine's president said, "The interlocutors discussed further cooperation and exchanged views on Russian propaganda narratives used by opponents of support for Ukraine."

THE VALLEY

Open Revolt at OpenAI: What on Earth is going on at OpenAI? The only thing that seems certain is that the company is in complete turmoil after its board shockingly moved to fire its chief executive Sam Altman Friday. OpenAI on Monday named a new interim chief executive, former Twitch boss Emmett Shear, after Microsoft — a major OpenAI investor — announced it had hired Altman and former president Greg Brockman. Meanwhile, more than 500 OpenAI employees threatened to quit and called on the entire board to resign over Altman's firing. "Your actions have made it obvious that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAI," the employees wrote in a letter to the board. "We are unable to work for or with people that lack competence, judgement and care for our mission and employees." Whether Altman rejoins OpenAI remains to be seen. The Verge's Alex Heath and Nilay Patel reported Monday that Altman "is still trying to return." Read their story here.

► When Microsoft boss Satya Nadella appeared on CNBC Monday night, he called for governance changes at the company.

► Scott Galloway to Kaitlan Collins: "We should all hope that the board was wrong. And I think an interesting question would be: What was it that had them so alarmed here that they would unceremoniously fire a CEO who has built $90 billion in value. This is a big deal. I've never seen anything like it."

CURTAIN CALL

Swift's Sorrow: Taylor Swift on Monday night wrapped up the Rio de Janeiro leg of her "Eras" tour — a leg of her show struck by tragedy. Brazil officials said that a fan died after succumbing to extreme heat during Swift's Friday show. Swift delayed Saturday's show until Monday and remembered the fan on Sunday, playing "Bigger Than the Whole Sky" for fans. "I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show," Swift also wrote in a statement posted to Instagram, adding, "I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this." CNN's Alli Rosenbloom has more here.

<a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/twitter/x-placing-ads-amazon-nba-mexico-nbcuniversal-and-others-next-content-white-nationalist" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; color: #ad0000;" rel="noopener" data-location="t5">over a report</a></strong><span style="font-size:16px;"> the group published</span><span style> last week showing that X had placed advertisements directly adjacent to neo-Nazi content. But Musk has effectively confirmed that the Media Matters report was <em>accurate</em> and that X <em>did run ads </em>against hateful content, which seems to take the teeth out of his complaint. <span style="background-color:#f3e5e5;">"This lawsuit is riddled with legal flaws, and it is highly ironic that a platform that touts itself as a beacon of free speech would file a bogus case like this that flatly contradicts basic <strong>First Amendment</strong> principles and targets free speech by a critic," First Amendment attorney <strong>Ted Boutrous</strong> told me. "And in some ways it’s a dream come true for the people at Media Matters because it could allow them to use the litigation discovery process to force X to divulge all sorts of embarrassing, damaging private information that it would much rather keep secret."</span> <strong>Angelo Carusone</strong>, the president of Media Matters, responded in a statement, "This is a frivolous lawsuit meant to bully X’s critics into silence. Media Matters stands behind its reporting and looks forward to winning in court."

<span style="font-size:16px;">►<em><strong> Why is X still placing ads on the account of the internet's most notorious white supremacist account? </strong></em>In October, a <em>Reliable Sources</em> review <strong><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/05/media/x-advertisements-reliable-sources/index.html" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; color: #ad0000;" rel="noopener" data-location="t6">found that</a></strong> X had placed ads for a cohort of major companies and organizations on the verified profile account of <strong>VDARE</strong>, an openly racist, white supremacist outlet that publishes some of the most vile content on the internet. <span style="background-color:#eed8d8;"><span style="background-color:#f3e5e5;">Well over a month later, X is continuing to serve up ads on the account. In fact, after the <strong>Israel</strong>-<strong>Hamas</strong> war broke out, I even noticed X had placed an ad for the official <strong>@Israel</strong> account on VDARE, which pumps out some of the most reprehensible antisemitic poison on the internet</span>.</span> How is this acceptable while claiming to care about brand safety? I asked an X representative, but did not get an answer.</span>

"She believes that she can mother Elon Musk into someone who could be respected by the advertising community, and that ship has definitely sailed," Paskalis told us. "But she’s not going to come off the mechanical bull without all of us telling her, 'It’s time to go.' And I believe that there has been a groundswell of a lot of people such as myself saying, 'save yourself.'" Yaccarino has indicated that, for now, she’s not going anywhere. Will that change?</span>

<span style="font-size:16px;">► <em><strong>How long will the NFL remain silent? </strong></em><span style="background-color:#f3e5e5;"><span style>The NFL is one of X's top advertisers and media partners. But the entertainment powerhouse has remained entirely silent amid the backlash against Musk over his antisemitic embrace. </span></span>Earlier this year, the NFL expressed concern when a Media Matters report found its ads were appearing next to accounts belonging to racists. But it has not said a word since, even as X continued placing ads for NFL teams onto VDARE's account. I reached out to the NFL on Monday for comment, but have yet to hear back.</span>

<span style="font-size:16px;">► <strong><em>Will news outlets pull ads?</em></strong> Several news organizations continue to send Musk ad dollars amid his antisemitic endorsement and appalling attacks on the free press. On Monday, I spotted ads for <strong>The Washington Post</strong> and the <strong>Financial Times</strong> on the platform. Neither outlet returned comment when I reached out. <span style="background-color:#eed8d8;"><span style="background-color:#f3e5e5;">The institutions that are supposed to speak truth to power apparently have no interest in doing so here</span>.</span> But a couple hav taken action. <strong>Axios</strong> has paused advertising on X, a person familiar with the matter told me. And <strong>TechCrunch</strong> also paused a small spend, I'm told. It's unclear whether <strong>The New York Times</strong> is continuing to send ad dollars to X. Spokespeople for The NYT did not respond to requests for comment on the matter. </span>

<p style="margin:0;font-size:16px;mso-line-height-alt:28.8px">
<span style="font-size:16px;">► <em><strong>When will newsrooms disassociate from X?</strong></em> It's astonishing that some news organizations are comfortable sending Musk advertising dollars as they simultaneously report on his shameful behavior and the hate ballooning on his platform. <span style="background-color:#eed8d8;"><span style="background-color:#f3e5e5;">But it is also striking that so many journalists and newsrooms continue to serve as cogs in the Musk machine, providing him the veneer of credibility by posting a stream of endless free content on X</span>.</span> As <strong>Casey Newton <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/11/19/antisemiticism-internet-elon-musk-israel-war/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; color: #ad0000;" rel="noopener" data-location="t8">told The WaPo</a></strong>, "This is not a place where you should be going to get news or to discuss news or to have a good time. It is just over. If you wouldn’t join <strong>Gab</strong>, or <strong>Parler</strong>, or<strong> Truth Social</strong>, there’s no reason you should be on X. I think it’s time for journalists and publishers, in particular, to acknowledge the new reality and to get the heck off that website." Newton said that his publication, <strong>Platformer</strong>, will no longer post on X or link to content on the website. We made a similar decision, pulling the <em>Reliable Sources</em> brand off X in July and ceased linking to content on the platform in early October. The endorsement of hate speech, conspiracy theories, and anti-press sentiment flows from the very top. Why offer tacit support by engaging with and promoting the platform?</span>

Notably, the visit come after Murdoch fired <strong>Tucker Carlson</strong>, one of the loudest voices on the right against U.S. aid to the country, earlier this year. That said, the right-wing channel is still rife full of anti-Ukraine narratives. A Fox spokesperson declined to comment on what the two discussed. But Ukraine's president said, "The interlocutors discussed further cooperation and exchanged views on Russian propaganda narratives used by opponents of support for Ukraine."

<span style="font-size:16px;"><em><strong>Open Revolt at OpenAI:</strong></em> What on Earth is going on at <strong>OpenAI</strong>? The only thing that seems certain is that the company is in complete turmoil after its board shockingly moved to fire its chief executive<strong> Sam Altman</strong> Friday. OpenAI on Monday named a new interim chief executive, former <strong>Twitch</strong> boss <strong>Emmett Shear</strong>, after <strong>Microsoft</strong> — a major OpenAI investor — announced it had hired Altman and former president <strong>Greg Brockman</strong>. Meanwhile, more than 500 OpenAI employees threatened to quit and called on the entire board to resign over Altman's firing. "Your actions have made it obvious that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAI," the employees wrote in a letter to the board. "We are unable to work for or with people that lack competence, judgement and care for our mission and employees." Whether Altman rejoins OpenAI remains to be seen. <strong>The Verge's Alex Heath</strong> and <strong>Nilay Patel </strong>reported Monday that Altman "is still trying to return." <strong><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/20/23969586/sam-altman-plotting-return-open-ai-microsoft" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; color: #ad0000;" rel="noopener" data-location="t33">Read their story here</a></strong>.
