Elon Musk accused of profiting from tragedy as study finds X rewards hate targeting Israel-Gaza war

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has released a report revealing how policy changes on Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) are benefiting hate speech posters. The study examined ten influential accounts that have posted anti-Jewish and/or anti-Muslim hate speech following the Israel-Gaza conflict. These accounts were able to significantly increase their reach and gained a combined total of 4 million new followers. The CCDH accuses Musk of deliberately profiting from tragedy by enabling and promoting hate speech on the platform. X is currently under investigation in the European Union for potential breaches of content moderation regulations.
