Elon Musk responds to companies that pulled ads from X: ‘Go fuck yourself’ – By Karissa Bell (Engadget) / Nov 29, 2023
X CEO and former advertising executive Linda Yaccarino reportedly sat “stone-faced” during the tirade.
Elon Musk, facing the fact that an already financially-precarious X could be poised to lose another $75 million in ad revenue following his boosting of an antisemitic conspiracy theory, has a new message for advertisers pulling back from the platform: “Go fuck yourself.”
Musk repeated the sentiment multiple times during an appearance at The New York Times’ DealBook event. “Don’t advertise,” Musk said. “If somebody is going to try and blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.”
whoa — “go fuck yourself,” Elon Musk says to Bob Iger and others who pull advertising from X
