Speaking at the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday, Elon Musk, the owner of social media site X (formerly Twitter), scoffed at advertisers leaving the platform because of antisemitic posts he amplified there.
“If somebody’s going to try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f---yourself. Go. F---. Yourself. Is that clear?” Musk singled out Disney
CEO Bob Iger in the audience, saying “Hi Bob!”
He also implied that his fans would boycott those advertisers in kind. “The whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail,” Musk threatened.
He also told interviewer Andrew Ross Sorkin, “I have no problem being hated. Hate away.”

Go find yourself? How introspective.
“Though by withdrawing advertising they are further injecting themselves into social and political issues.”
Or maybe these companies believe they that by purchasing advertising on X, they were injecting themselves into social and political issues.
Disney went woke, now they’re going broke. I’m with Elon, F Disney!
Woketards are circling their wagons.
I can see them being acquired by an entertainment company, recent management is like that of GE.
And I don't think they are just fanatics. They are completely indoctrinated into believing utter bullsh!t.
I think they are insane.
Ha. Only if they think what they've been doing the last several years was apolitical. Which is entirely possible given how they generally appear to have their heads up their asses.
That statement doesn't say they are going to stop grooming children. It says they are going to keep their mouths shut while they keep grooming children.
If Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX dissapeared tomorrow, he would still be a multibillionaire.
“Tell it to the judge! The judge is the public!” (Elon)
Love it!
He’s eccentric, unstable, quirky and brilliant. I am particularly happy he told off Iger. I live in Orlando, where kissing up to Disney is a survival tool.
Elon invariably sees the big picture.
He simply and eloquently stood for freedom of speech in his remarks- then told Iger FU.
Agree.
