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.
“Don’t advertise. If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f*ck yourself,” Musk said.
