Elon Musk Tells Advertisers Pulling Out of X, "Go F*** Yourself"
----------------------------------------------------------------

X CEO Elon Musk lashed out during a New York Times event Wednesday when
asked about recent advertiser boycotts over Musk's reposting of
antisemitic content.

Elon Musk: "If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with
advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. But - go fuck
yourself. Is that clear?"

Over 100 brands have halted their ads on X, formerly Twitter, which
stands to lose $75 million in ad sales by the end of the year.
