Ubisoft has joined the recent mass advertising exodus on X (formerly Twitter). This move comes a week after Apple, Disney, and IBM also chose to pause advertising in the wake of Musk endorsing an extremely antisemitic tweet that accused members of the Jewish community of "hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them." Musk referred to the tweet as "the actual truth."In a statement made to Axios, an Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed that the company did have an active ad campaign running on the site, but that it has since been withdrawn.
