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.”
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.
