The now-deleted messages sent from Ford’s handle included posts stating, “Israel is a terrorist state,” “Free Palestine” and “ALL EYES ON GAZA.”
Several X users wrote that it appeared Ford’s account had been hacked, including pro-Israel Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., who said the automaker’s account “must have been hacked by the Free Palestine movement.”
When reached for comment, Ford told FOX Business in a statement, “Our X account was briefly compromised and the previous three posts were not authorized or posted by Ford. We are investigating the issue.”
