Musk to advertisers: “F… Go”
Although Musk seems to admit his mistakes in his interview, he does not completely abandon the sails. Frankly, it seems like he is doing everything he can to drive advertisers away from the platform: “If someone is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, let them go away. Was it clear enough?
After this harsh statement against advertisers, Musk said that if the advertisers did not return, “what this advertising boycott will do is kill the company.” While Musk said that the whole world would see that advertisers destroyed X and that they would document it, he stated that his visit to Israel did not mean “an apology tour”.
How did it start?
Denying allegations that he is antisemitic, Musk responded to a comment made by a user on “You told the truth,” he captioned his post. He commented.
Following this statement, nearly 100 companies, including Apple, Disney, IBM, Paramount, NBCUniversal, Discovery and Comcast, decided to stop their advertisements on X or canceled them completely. Musk was accused of “promoting anti-Semitism” in the USA. As a result of all these events, X is reportedly at risk of losing $75 million by the end of the year. Time will tell how you will handle the process.
