Elon Musk’s X faces advertiser backlash after placing marketing for 
major brands on notorious white supremacist account

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/05/media/x-advertisements-reliable-sources/index.html


Essentially what has happened is that a racist white supremacist account 
is having major brands appearing on their X feed. Think Mother Theresa 
or Pope Francis appearing on a KKK X account. Yeah, that bad.

Not sure I'd call that esthetically pleasing, but certainly 
self-destructive.
