Gene Simmons from the band KISS and singer Neil Young have decided to stop using X, which used to be called Twitter. This happened after Elon Musk, who owns X, agreed with a mean idea that says Jewish people are against white people. This idea is called the “great replacement” theory, and it’s not nice or true.
Elon Musk replied to someone on X who shared this idea and said, “You have said the actual truth.” That upset a lot of people, including Gene and Neil.
Friends, I’ve decided to end my X/Twitter posting.

Gene Simmons didn’t say exactly why he was leaving, but he posted, “Friends, I’ve decided to end my X/Twitter posting.” It seems like he didn’t like what Musk said.
Neil Young explained his choice on his website. He wrote, “We are stopping all use of X we can control. For reasons that should be obvious to the richest man on Earth, we are taking this action against his company.” He even shared a picture of Elon Musk with words saying that Musk’s cars, Teslas, should spread love, not hate. Neil also said we should forget bad things from the past and work together to make the world better for everyone.
The White House didn’t like Musk’s words either. A spokesperson named Andrew Bates said, “We condemn this awful promotion of antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms.” That means they think it’s really wrong.
Okay.
Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.
I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing…

Because of this, big companies like Disney and Warner Bros stopped putting their ads on X. They were worried because their ads were showing up next to mean posts. Musk got mad about this and said he’s going to sue a group called Media Matters and others who pointed it out.
Musk later said he’s not against Jewish people. He explained that he was only talking about certain groups, like the Anti-Defamation League, not all Jewish people. Still, his words caused a big problem, and now Gene Simmons and Neil Young are saying goodbye to X.
