Elon to advertisers who bail on twitter because of his tweets. “Go. F--k. Yourself.”
CLIP @ LINK
*WARNING : LANGUAGE*
@xDaily
The "Hi Bob" was targeted at Disney CEO Bob Iger who is in the audience and has paused advertising on X.
@xDaily
In march earlier this year, Elon thanked Disney, Apple for Remaining Two of Twitter’s Biggest Advertisers
Both have paused advertising on the platform.
@xDaily
Elon later added that the advertiser boycott could kill X.
He believes that the public will join him in blaming advertisers if X goes under.

I'm quite shocked and taken aback by this.
For those that don’t use twitter

Elon Musk message to advertisers who are trying to ‘blackmail’ him: ‘Go f*_k yourself

Even if he loses ALL advertisers, it’s a relative drop in the bucket for him.
But he will not. Rush dealt with the same and the big advertisers left, but the lower-tier advertisers were very happy to get on his show. Sure, Rush couldn’t charge the same relative to his audience, but then with less than 100 employees, he didn’t have to. Similar for Twitter, Musk cut the costs way down...so his losses, at worst, will be small.
Tell the richest guy in the world that a few advertisers are boycotting him in a small boutique corner of his empire. And it didn’t scare him?
Surprise! LOL
I like how he said it again slowly. LOL
Right said, Elon!
Yes he said it twice hence my shock
😲😲
Good on him, anyway
Just to reinforce that it wasn’t an offhand comment. LMAO...
This is the ultimate version of FU money. I think I first heard the term from an interview with Johnny Carson where when you have enough money that you can say that to all the lowlifes who think they can make you do something for money.
He must be at his wits end with dealing with advertisers
he has been very clear and consistent on this
he will not allow them to shut him up
Correct Josh. I think you mentioned this before to me and I was skeptical thinking he might be in a tough spot posting and dealing with advertisers but he’s not going to stop.
It’s quite something!
The DERP STATE wants X (and free speech) GONE ahead of the 2024 election. That is what this advertiser fiasco is all about.
Love it!
Where would those advertisers go?
They can boycott but I think it is quite likely many companies will see their social media presence as a mistake. Being that much in contact with the public is far too risky. It takes just a bad tweet to impact revenue. It also places too much pressure on being forced to take an immediate stance on current events.
These boycotts will force companies to abandon ALL social media.
That will lessen the power the left has to scare companies into compliance
Those of us that remember Rush Limbaugh’s advertiser Cancel Culture Crap know that for every big sponsor there are hundreds of smaller sponsors waiting to take their place.
“Where would those advertisers go?”
Exactly. By claiming they do not need X is claiming they are currently wasting investor money on X in the first place.
One of the smartest business person I worked with when she was on the C level of a Fortune 100 company taught me the importance of firing your customers when necessary.
One other source of advertising is for podcasters on other channels to advertise on X, especially those podcasters that have to make restricted content on YouTube to avoid getting banned.
The media created adn perpetuated the lie that he was an anti-semite. The corporate woke goons then played along with blackmail so Elon would “apologize” for being an anti-semite and thus they would restore their advertising.
Elon is the GOAT.
And he alao called” out “Bob”
