Amazon is ramping up ad spending on Elon Musk’s X, according to people familiar with the situation, a major shift after pulling much of its advertising more than a year ago, a time when many brands had concerns about hate speech on the platform.

Amazon.com is increasing its advertising on billionaire Elon Musk's social media platform X, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Elon Musk, the genius billionaire behind Tesla, SpaceX, and now the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), has vowed to cut wasteful spending in Washington under his “best friend” President Donald Trump’s administration.
