Elon Musk pushed back on advertisers boycotting X over antisemitism and other hate speech on the platform formerly known as Twitter during the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday.

What he’s saying: “If somebody’s gonna try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f**k yourself.” Musk said. “Don’t advertise.”

    “What this advertising boycott is going to do is it’s going to kill the company, and the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail,” Musk said.

    Ohhh, is he threatening twitter files 2.0? The nuffinburger that no effect on anything? I can just see it now: “Yeah, this guys a huge racist, let’s stop advertising. It’s hurting our business”. Good luck with that, dumbo. What are you going to document? The cancelled checks? This fucking idiot.

      Seems like a typical narcissistic flex - I’m not at fault for doing the terrible thing, you’re at fault for not supporting me do the terrible thing and I shall have my revenge.
