San Francisco, December 2: Retail giant Walmart has confirmed that it is not advertising on Elon Musk-run X (formerly Twitter), according to a report by CNN. "We aren슬롯사이트™t advertising on X as we슬롯사이트™ve found other platforms to better reach our customers," a Walmart spokesperson was quoted as saying. The departure of Walmart adds to the growing list of firms leaving X after Musk endorsed an antisemitic post last month. Apple, Disney, IBM, Comcast and Warner Bros. Discovery are among the companies no longer buying ads on X.

Following this development, Joe Benarroch, head of Operations at X, said that brands who advertise on the platform are able to get in front of massive amount of users, the report mentioned. 슬롯사이트œWalmart has a wonderful community on X, and with half a billion people on X, every year the platform experiences 15 billion impressions about the holidays alone with more than 50 per cent of X users doing most or all of their shopping online,슬롯사이트� Benarroch was quoted as saying.

Earlier this week, Musk apologised for what he called his "dumbest" social media post to date. However, he lashed out at sponsors that abandoned his site. "I don슬롯사이트™t want them to advertise," Musk said at the New York Times DealBook Summit. "If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money? Go f*** yourself," he added.
