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 a ridiculous thing
tofor Musk to say. He clearly can’t handle being wrong or to blame. These companies are not under any obligation to advertise and support him or his business. His job is supposed to be to provide a platform where they want their ads to be seen, and failing do that, he’s acting like a victim instead.You mistake my meaning. I’m talking about the advertisers that dropped Twitter. Those companies earn respect because they stopped advertising on Twitter. It cost those companies nothing to stop advertising on Twitter, and earns them a good name.
Oh, I didn’t mean you said something ridiculous - I was referring to the Musk quote.
