00:00 US billionaire Elon Musk announced on Tuesday that his social media platform X will donate
00:06 a share of its advertising and subscription revenue to hospitals both in Israel and war-torn
00:11 Gaza.
00:12 "X Corp will be donating all revenue from advertising and subscriptions associated with
00:16 the war in Gaza to hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross or Crescent in Gaza," Mr Musk
00:22 wrote on X's formerly Twitter.
00:24 The move came as Israel continues to battle against Hamas in Gaza, targeting their terror
00:29 infrastructure.
00:30 Israeli troops recently raided Al Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility in the Palestinian
00:35 enclave.
00:36 They claim the hospital was being used as a Hamas command centre, allegations that both
00:41 the group and hospital staff have denied.
00:44 Elon Musk in another post provided details on how the funds will be wired to the Israeli
00:48 and Gaza hospitals.
00:49 "We will track how funds are spent and go through the Red Cross or Crescent.
00:55 Better ideas are welcome, we should care about the innocent regardless of race, creed, religion
00:59 or anything else," he wrote.
01:01 Musk took the decision after several reputed corporations including Apple, Disney and IBM
01:05 pulled their ads off his X platform, accusing it of failing to contain pro-Nazi content
01:11 and hate speech.
01:13 Similar concerns were raised after some of the ads were shown right next to the alleged
01:17 anti-Semitic posts on X.
01:19 Earlier, Musk faced allegations of himself promoting the anti-Semitic behaviour on X.
01:24 By promoting a conspiracy theory that suggests Jewish people have been pushing the exact
01:28 kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using
01:33 against them.
01:34 The controversy caused several advertisers including Warner Bros, Paramount Global and
01:39 Comcast to temporarily stop spending on the platform.
01:43 The White House on November 17 also waded into the controversy, condemning Musk's post
01:47 and calling it an "abhorrent promotion of anti-Semitic and racist hate".
01:52 More than 13,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched a ground counter-offensive
01:57 against Hamas.
01:58 The ground assault was initiated in response to the surprise attack by Hamas on Israel
02:03 on October 7, which claimed around 1,200 lives.
