Spokespeople for NCTA and pharmaceutical company Gilead said that they immediately paused their ad spending on X after CNN flagged their ads on the pro-Nazi account.

Alt-speak: we only care if the media report that our ad placements were next to questionable contents.

lmao at the fact that even a company named GILEAD doesn't want anything to do with Musk trying to kickstart a handmaid's tale

Gives them airtime. I wouldn't have heard of them if not for this.

You’ve never heard of Gilead? They’re a massive biopharma company…

Not everybody is a member of the biopharma fandom

I'm in the UK, I get whatever brand the chemist gives me for a flat fee.

I've never heard of them either.
