“If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself.Is that clear? Hey Bob, if you’re in the audience. That’s how I feel, don’t advertise.”
If the market were rational that would have been the end of Tesla. It takes some extreme brainletry to turn a huge market advantage into actively losing ground to new entrants. And he is still at it. Being a dimwitted Nazi on Twitter is his top priority. Tesla sales will continue to spiral down the drain.
(Yes, if the market were rational the end might have come sooner, but certainly giving billions to a brainlet actively sabotaging the company should end it.)
Remember he is exceedingly wealthy, so he can buy Tesla stock through third parties to prop the price up without alarming investors. No, it’s not legal, but we all know the man doesn’t give a shit about the law.
Musk sheepishly suggested that he didn’t mean “advertisers as a whole.”
“Advertisers have a right to appear next to content that they find compatible with their brands,” he told ad giant WPP CEO Mark Read during an interview on Wednesday. “What is not cool is insisting that there can be no content that they disagree with on the platform.”
How is that “not cool?” I don’t understand how he can possibly object to a company spending their advertising dollars wherever they damn well choose to. He repeatedly makes it clear that he feels entitled to their budgets. There is zero basis for that. I truly cannot fathom how he can be so dense about this.
He can object because he’s decided that’s what is right. Literally nothing else matters.
The piece of shit that used to own my company is like this. His decision is correct and gospel, and if you don’t agree or if it’s provably false you are wrong. And it’s your fault you are wrong, because he has decided it to be correct.
Right but the bubble of rightness you speak of is usually only assumed to include the company staff. Really powerful CEOs have their board inside the bubble too, or even public investors. But Elon thinks the customers work for him too. That’s really beyond the pale.
Careful, you might convince Tesla shareholders to fork over a few more billion to keep the big brained genius motivated.
“Give me 60 billions this year, or the Tesla stock will lose even of more of its price next year!” – Elon, probably.

No argument here. Just highlighting the absolutely insane mindset of business owners/CEOs at all scales.
I think this should be posted as a comment to every article about this.
Someone needs to make a drawing of it because when he originally said it he opened his mouth wide and through his head back like was a literal puppet
I’m surprised nobody saw his forked lizard tongue when that happened!
