Musk tells boycotting advertisers to ‘go f--- yourself’

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, says that companies who have joined a growing advertising boycott against the social media platform can “go f--- yourself”.

He said that he did not want those companies to advertise because they were trying to “blackmail” him with money.

“What it’s going to do is it’s going to kill the company, and the whole world will know the advertisers killed the company,” he told a New York Times conference on Wednesday.

Who’s here after musk announced he’s suing the advertisers for not advertising?

[supercheetah]

Eight months later, they did, and they are, and now he's suing them for doing what he told them to do.

Elon buying Twitter and changing the rules was the momentum needed for the pendulum to swing back from this insanity.

[spaghettibadger]

And now musk is suing because people don't want to advertise on his site.

Lol

[thomasgill]

Now that's some glorious free speech right there, people!

[rocketgroot]

*they made the mistake of thinking musk works for them*

[RazzoGatto]

And now he's begging advertises to return 🤣
The genius at work, everyone!

[Jarvolo]

Real funny looking back on this with his tantrum of a court case he filed today.

[Wesparkey]

Elon knows something that most of us don’t understand - it’s just money.

[johnsmithwesson]

He’s damn right. Finally a man stands up against these corporations and conglomerates.

"Am I cool yet?... What about now?" - Elon Musk

[freakincampers]

Told them not to advertise, then when they do, he sues them for not advertising?

[mc]

This is how we should feel about those companies as well, and when I say feel, I mean with our wallet.

[TheDancelow]

Who is getting the last laugh now. 😂😂😂 That lawsuit ain't going nowhere

[veganangel]

Seriously though. I'm more shocked that people are so shocked. Should he cave in to demands by advertisers??? Is that what "good" people do? I don't think so.

[TomatoFettuccini]

Watching the interviewer's mind get blown in real-time as he watches this Stable Genius torpedo his $44bn investment in just 5 seconds is 💋👌.

[smkeyyy_]

Now that they aren’t advertising he chooses to sue them. 😂

Also, nobody is blackmailing him

[joevictor]

That's hilarious watching him looking to the crowd like a trained animal. He wants that response of clapping and cheering and his mind shuts down when he doesn't get it

[wonderfulmidwest]

That nervous hand shake when he's grabbing the glass after nobody laughed lmao 💀🤡

[danieltoone]

Someone is going to really regret this video right about now
