'Go F**K YOURSELF'!

Elon Musk blasts advertisers fleeing X in the wake of his anti-Semitic post as he rips Disney boss Bob Iger - who is sitting in the audience - for trying to 'blackmail me with money'

 

It's just as well that Elon Musk can afford to be cancelled because tonight he told his advertisers: 'Go f yourself.' Musk appeared at The New York Times ' DealBook summit, and was pressed by host Andrew Ross Sorkin on his November 15 tweet and the resulting fallout. He was asked specifically about Disney CEO Bob Iger, who explained on stage earlier on Wednesday his company's decision to pull advertising from the platform. 'I hope they stop,' said Musk, baffling the host, who replied: 'You don't want them to advertise?' Musk said: 'Don't advertise.' Ross Sorkin asked: 'What do you mean?' Musk said: 'If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f yourself. 'Go f*** yourself, is that clear? Hey Bob, if you're in the audience. That's how I feel, don't advertise.' Disney was not alone: Companies including Apple, Paramount, Airbnb and Uber pulled their advertising from X - a move which X internal documents projected could cost the company $75 million. Musk said the advertising boycott could 'kill the company.' 'What this advertising boycott is going to do is, it is going to kill the company,' he said. 'And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company.' The CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino - who was appointed by Musk in June after years working in advertising - sat in the front row, and was listening 'stone faced', The Hollywood Reporter said.
