Tesla is controversially starting to advertise on Elon Musk's X

  Does Amazon advertise in the Washington Post?

    Does Amazon own the Washington Post? No, Bezos does, and he doesn't own Amazon. Meanwhile the WaPo runs articles like this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2022/amazon-shopping-ads/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2022/a...

      Another difference is that Amazon buys gobs of advertising all over the place and I'd bet their ad buy on WaPo are on arms-length terms any other ad buyer would get. Amazon will spend more on ads today than Tesla spent all year in 2022. Tesla has gone for a long time buying no ads at all.

  How is that controversial? X is desperate for advertisers who haven’t been scared away by the ADL. Its probably super cheap to advertise there right now.

    To state the obvious: conflict of interest. Tesla isn’t just an advertiser looking for a good deal on ads. Musk has previously said he doesn’t believe in advertising. Tesla doesn’t advertise. But it does on X now, somehow.
