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.”

    LMAO! Not buying your shitty product isn’t blackmail, drama queen.

    Or am I blackmailing McDonald’s by not eating their burgers?

        And I’m boycotting the tofu industry. Together we can end all foods!

          I actually also rarely eat tofu (mom was a health nut who couldn’t cook well and my wife has a low grade soy intolerance). It’s all beans. Mostly black beans because they’re wonderful. Also lentils, miracle food those lentils are.
