Elon Musk Says 'Understandable' Disney Advertises On Mark Zuckerberg's Meta But Questions Why Others Are Going Down The Same Path
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has once again taken a swipe at Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), questioning the advertising choices of companies, including Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS).
特斯拉和SpaceX首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克再次對Meta Platforms Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：META）進行了輕描淡寫，質疑包括華特迪士尼公司在內的公司的廣告選擇。（紐約證券交易所代碼：DIS）。
What Happened: On Monday, a user on X, formerly Twitter, shared the screenshot of a January 2024 news article titled "Meta documents show 100,000 kids sexually harassed daily on Facebook, Instagram." The user then asked why companies like Disney choose to advertise on Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta and not on Musk's social media platform X.
發生了什麼：週一，X（前身爲推特）上的一位用戶分享了2024年1月一篇題爲 “元文件顯示每天有10萬名兒童在臉書、Instagram上遭到性騷擾” 的新聞報道的屏幕截圖。然後，該用戶問爲什麼像迪士尼這樣的公司選擇在馬克·扎克伯格領導的Meta上做廣告，而不是在馬斯克的社交媒體平台X上做廣告。
In response, the tech billionaire said, "Disney is perhaps understandable, but why the others too."
作爲回應，這位科技億萬富翁說：“迪士尼也許是可以理解的，但爲什麼其他人也是如此。”

Why It Matters: This is not the first time Musk has criticized Disney's decision to advertise on Meta's platforms. It all started in November 2023, when a controversial post by Musk sparked criticism from investors and advertisers. The post in question suggested that Jewish communities were promoting "hatred against whites," to which Musk replied affirming the statement as "the actual truth."
爲什麼重要：這不是馬斯克第一次批評迪士尼在Meta平台上做廣告的決定。這一切都始於2023年11月，當時馬斯克的一篇有爭議的帖子引發了投資者和廣告商的批評。該帖子暗示猶太社區在宣傳 “對白人的仇恨”，馬斯克回答說，這一說法是 “真實的事實”。
This started a chain reaction and after International Business Machine paused advertisements on X, companies like Lions Gate Entertainment, Apple Inc., Oracle, and Disney also pulled the plug. Musk later expressed regret for engaging with the post, labeling it as "one of the most foolish" actions he's taken on the platform. However, this apology did not reverse the damage completely.
這引發了連鎖反應，在國際商業機器暫停了X的廣告之後，獅門娛樂、蘋果公司、甲骨文和迪士尼等公司也取消了插頭。馬斯克後來對參與該帖子表示遺憾，稱其爲他在該平台上採取的 “最愚蠢” 的行動之一。但是，這次道歉並未完全扭轉損失。
Since then, Musk has repeatedly targeted Disney CEO Iger and Meta Platforms. For instance, in February earlier this year, he questioned Disney's ad spending on Meta amid Instagram's child exploitation allegations. The tech mogul also called for Iger to be "fired immediately" for continuing to advertise on Facebook and Instagram.
此後，馬斯克一再將目標對準迪士尼首席執行官艾格和Meta Platforms。例如，今年二月初，由於Instagram的剝削兒童指控，他質疑迪士尼在Meta上的廣告支出。這位科技大亨還呼籲 “立即解僱” 艾格繼續在Facebook和Instagram上做廣告。
The Tesla CEO has also been critical of Zuckerberg's Meta citing allegations of Meta's Instagram enabling child exploitation on the platform. In November also it was reported that Instagram was suggesting sexualized content of minors via Reels. At the time also, Musk provoked advertisers to take similar actions against Meta as they took with X.
特斯拉首席執行官也對扎克伯格的Meta持批評態度，理由是有人指控梅塔的Instagram允許在該平台上剝削兒童。去年11月，還有報道稱，Instagram通過Reels推薦未成年人的色情內容。當時，馬斯克還挑釁廣告商對Meta採取與對X類似的行動。
