More advertisers are likely to flee Elon Musk’s soc**ial med**ia company X after the billionaire lashed out at some of the biggest names in the media industry at an event, analysts said.
Walt Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery suspended advertising on X earlier this month following Musk’s endorsement of an antisemitic post.
