Accountable Tech Executive Director and Co-Founder Nicole Gill issued the following statement in response to Apple and IBM’s decision to pause advertising on X:

As Musk personally descends even further down antisemitic and racist rabbit holes, we applaud Apple and IBM for pulling the plug, and encourage every other advertiser to follow suit.”
