Elon Musk attacks X advertisers with explicit profanity

Elon Musk has used bad words and criticized the advertisers who have left X, saying they will make the social media platform fail.

At a meeting in New York, he said that the companies not advertising on the website, previously called Twitter, were trying to force him into doing something by withholding their ads.

The billionaire used a rude word to tell someone to go away in an interview.

Some companies have stopped advertising on X because they are worried about antisemitism. This includes a post from Mr.

The boss of Tesla and SpaceX said sorry on Wednesday for a post he made. He called it the “dumbest” thing he’s ever shared online.

However, his answer to a question about companies like Disney, Apple, and Comcast boycotting advertisements caused a lot of attention at the meeting of influential people from business, politics, and culture.

“Mr Musk said he doesn’t want them to advertise,” at the New York Times‘ DealBook Summit.

“If someone tries to make me do something I don’t want to do by threatening me with ads or money, they can go away. ”


Please Oh You Is it understandable. Hey Bob, if you’re listening, that’s how I feel.

He was talking about Disney’s boss, Bob Iger, who just spoke at the meeting.

Mrs Yaccarino, the CEO of X, was in the room with Mr. Musk, trying to get advertisers to come back to the platform.

Mr Musk also said that advertisers have the power to end X.

“This advertising boycott is going to destroy the company,” he said.

“He said everyone will know that the advertisers caused the company to fail, and we will write down all the details. ”

Ms Yaccarino reposted an interview she found very honest and also added her own thoughts about advertising. She believes that X is in a great position where freedom of speech and business come together, and that the community is strong and welcoming.

Mr Musk went to Israel after he seemed to support an antisemitic conspiracy theory last month.

I apologize for that tweet. “On Wednesday, he said it could be the worst and stupidest post I’ve ever made,”

The boycott is not only about that post.

Many advertisers chose to spend their money somewhere else.

In April, Mr. Musk told the media that almost all of the advertisers have either returned or will return.

Three months later, he said in a post on X that the money made from ads had gone down by half.

Before, a report by a liberal group called Media Matters claimed to have evidence that some ads were placed next to Nazi content.

X is saying that the group’s report did not accurately show how X’s users feel. They think the report is trying to stop people from speaking freely and to trick companies who advertise on X. X is taking Media Matters to court.

It’s not clear if Mr. Musk’s comments will convince advertisers to come back. The company depends a lot on their money.

We don’t know how much money X makes from ads right now because it’s a private company and doesn’t share its financial reports anymore.

However, before Mr. Musk became the leader of the company, most of Twitter’s money came from advertising.
