Not gonna lie, seeing Disney’s CEO flamed in public to his face is throughly satisfying. More than that, there is reason to believe it was a good day for America.
We hear no end of left-wing finger-wagging about what’s ‘good for democracy’. But what Elon just did might actually help put the Republic back on firmer ground.
There are two aspects to the F-bomb story. There what he did, and what he refused to do. Both are important in the bigger picture.
Elon Musk stood in public and told one of the top-fifty corporations in the country that he didn’t need their money if it came with strings attached.
If that same CEO (and others like him) had the balls to look Xi and his CCP flunkies in the eye and tell them the same damned thing, America would be in a much better place today.
In a world where corporate executives routinely sell out their integrity, principles, self-interest, and even their country for the Almighty Dollar, it’s a rare breed of businessman who can look his would-be benefactors not as a supplicant would a benefactor.
Elon looked at the offer, looked at the strings attached and made the decision — it ain’t worth it.
Helluva time for Iger to put Disney up as the anti-free-speech foil against the one large-scale Social Media platform that doesn’t censor speech. Hey Bob! Didn’t you just release financials admitting your income is cratering because the world sees how woke you and your agendas are and have said ‘no thanks’?
Does Bob REALLY believe picking a fight with Elon Musk will help Disney win that trust back? Good luck with that.
The other half of the equasion, what Musk refused to do is explained in his own words in the same quote.

Disney got a kick in the nards. And now Disney is losing subscribers from people outraged that Disney is trying to bully X.
More people need to give woke culture the finger and the boycott.
One - Elon Musk reminds me of Tony Stark from the MCU. When he breaks out in nervous laughter, the interviewer does not seem to grasp that Musk is laughing at him - and those like him - for his inability to understand the simple concepts he is expressing.
Two - the comment that his mind is a storm. It is simple to understand. He is one of those that have existed throughout history that sees things that others cannot or refuse to see.
Three - he says let the chips fall where they may, and the interviewer cannot seem to grasp that concept. I have had that problem with people. Musk says he can break out a thesaurus to get the guy to understand. I have replied to people throughout my life that I have used the limit of monosyllabic words that I know, and I am unable to express myself any simpler than I have.
Four - and maybe I should have placed this one first - these people are terrified of anyone not only having a different opinion but being able to express that opinion to anyone else. I get the feeling that these people absolutely hate the U.S. Constitution but also cannot understand that concept that the Constitution was created to give the power to the citizen - public - and not to the elites that gravitate to positions of power.
Just my take.
It was brilliant.
Admirable take my friend!
People panic when the hear the F-Bomb if recordings were made on capital hill they would hear it used more then in the ghetto.
