'Go f**k yourself,' Elon Musk tells advertisers who left X

Billionaire Elon Musk told advertisers who have fled his social media platform X over antisemitic content to "Go f**k yourself" during an interview at a New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday.

Musk has faced a torrent of criticism ever since he agreed with one X user who falsely claimed Jewish people were stoking hatred against white people. He has since apologized for what he called his "dumbest ever social media post."

A slew of brands, including Disney and Apple, decided to stop advertising on the platform earlier this month.

"To find out who rules over you, simply find out whom you are not allowed to criticize"

He was referring to people who try to blackmail him and the media tries to portray it as it's a bad thing.

Love it. We gotta start saying this a lot more to many things in society today.

[freakincampers]

He told them not to advertise, they listened, and now he's suing them?

[SamHappy-epqh]

When he says he is for “The reality of goodness not the perception of it. What I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil. F them.” What a statement!

[ninjavitis]

You left out when he said "hi Bob" right after, and that was the best part

WEF is seeking to regulate speech by defining which language should be censored.

Klaus Schwab and his allies want to dictate to regulators, social media companies, and other tech firms, their definitions for what constitutes “hate speech, ” “misinformation, ” or disinformation.”

Interestingly, the WEF makes no mention of cracking down on speech that could be linked to serious crimes such as terrorism or child abuse, nor does the organization mention targeting false information.

Apparently, the WEF is more concerned with cracking down on political speech or information that may undermine its agenda.

Boycott these corrupt companies - we hold the power with what we choose to give our time, energy, and money to.

Elon Musk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from Germany 😊❤

[TheDallasDwayne]

His content wasn't antisemitic. The establishment just doesn't like him for undoing their monopoly. Good for Elon.

[randyf]

Elon speaking the truth. I second his thoughts. Kudos Elon

[kevztunz]

He lashed out at advertisers who think they can bully a platform into compliance by withholding their business. Elon is just saying, in no uncertain terms, the he won't be bought. However, news organizations are not about facts and nuance these days.

[juswin]

Sounds like advertisers were saying if u do this and this like a good boy we will continue to advertise on X and elon said i cant be bought or controlled bye bye good for him

[blankfaced]

Well, this didn't age well. Now he's suing them for not advertising through his company.

[mendopetkovski]

its about time someone said it the way it is.

[wes-waynesandh.]

Exactly, Elon and everyone else with a working brain should tell these goofs off.

[billyz]

Musk is proof that rich & dumb can in fact go together ..

[Questioneverything]

More reasons to love this guy. He represents majority of us. We can’t say that in public because we need the $ to survive; he doesn’t.
