Elon Musk to advertisers who are trying to ‘blackmail’ him: ‘Go f--- yourself’

I'm literally going to buy a Tesla to support this man. Who else with this power is this brave and doesn't bow to false integrity. If that stupid weird anti-Semitic comment had been left alone, and ignored as it should have been, how much hurt and anger could have been avoided? SHAME on the media for blowing this up. There's crap comments all over. Ignore them. Freedom of speech is a real thing. No one can say ANYTHING without people freaking out. I'm the least racist person in the world and this got blown sooooo out of proportion. The media is corrupt as hell. The people in financial power are corrupt as hell. Love one another as thyself is a real thing but this Disney response and media response is NOT the way. It leaves a trail of freaking harm and offense anger in its wake. Elon has brilliance and integrity and sticks to his principles. He has common freaking sense. He is showing FAR more respect for humans and Jews than these fake freaking liars. Bless you Elon. ❤❤❤

It’s not just that I’m indifferent to his wealth, but also because I couldn’t find happiness in such a life. A life where people are not only jealous but also constantly trying to discredit him, every single day, around the clock. Also, he has issues with his six children from a previous marriage and with his new wife, one of whom is transgender and has chosen to cut ties with him. What a sorrowful family situation and life!

[@hlcepeda]

I wonder if you would likely have a somewhat different opinion if you were a Twitter shareholder (Twitter has lost 50% of its ad revenue since Musk took over, and his handling of Twitter has ignored the fiduciary responsibility he owes them) _or_ if you were a former employee and now out of work (almost half of its workforce was slashed, again due to drop in revenue). As much as Musk has every right to say what _he_ likes, advertisers also have every right to place ads wherever _they_ want. And as far as being "blackmailed", Musk got that wrong. Blackmail is when you try to extort money or something of value from someone else. Could your local supermarket rightly accuse you of blackmailing them if you decided to boycott them? You've simply decided to take _your_ money elsewhere.
