ABC’s Media Watch investigated the way X, formerly Twitter, has promoted inflammatory and white nationalist messages regarding recent events in Britain. Some of these extremist messages have been quoted by Elon Musk himself, giving them a far broader reach than they otherwise would have.
Antisemitic content is also prevalent, and sometimes boosted by Elon Musk. Part of OHPI CEO Andre Oboler’s testimony to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has been shown by Media Watch as evidence of the prevalence of antisemitic content on X.
ANDRE OBOLER: … the platform that had the most antisemitism …
… was Gab, which is a far-right platform …
… the Nazis couldn’t theme it more Nazi-like than these people are doing it on Gab.
The next highest one was Twitter …
It was already the most prevalent platform for antisemitism to start with.
