BMW UK announces it’s leaving X and gets mercilessly mocked [Video]

BMW Group UK’s announcement that it is “no longer posting on X” was met with backlash and mockery. In its post, the German luxury automaker’s UK branch also assured customers that the company would continue to post on Facebook and Instagram.

While the company did not explain the reasoning behind the decision, many social media users linked it to a controversy involving X owner Elon Musk doing what critics say was a “Nazi salute” during President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Musk has taken heat from critics who accused him of doing a “fascist salute” while speaking at an Inauguration Day event. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) came to the billionaire’s defense, with ADL said that what Musk did was merely an “awkward gesture” and “not a Nazi salute.”
