Elon Musk is never one to pull punches, even when he’s in a good mood, and now that advertisers are boycotting X, he’s not in a good mood and is certainIy not pulling punches.
Such was obvious when, on Wednesday, Elon appeared at The New York Times’ DealBook/Summit with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin.
There, Elon directly confronted the group of companies engaging in the ad boycott of X, Go f -k yourself. That came when Elon was discussing the nature of the economic attack on X and argued, quite persuasiveIy, that it is coming to be difficult for them to threaten him, one of the wealthiest men on Earth, with money.
Speaking to Sorkin about the issue, Musk said, “I hope they stop. Don’t advertise. If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. Go f -k yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.”
Elon then went on to single out Disney CEO Bob Iger, who said that he does not want Disney to be affiIiated with Musk and his comments and whose company stopped advertising on X. Directing his comment toward Iger, Musk said, Hey Bob, if you’re in the audience.
Musk also commented, during the event, on a tweet he made that some called anti-Semitic, saying, I shouId in retrospect should not have replied to that one person.
He added, Essentially I handed a loaded gun to those who hate me, and arguably to those are antisemitic, and for that I’m quite sorry. That was not my intention.

What a perfectly crafted revenge story! Your character’s decision to “take the high road” and create an even more memorable night for the family was just the start. Using a giant billboard to show off your family’s true “super” spirit, combined with the supportive community response, gave it such a delicious twist. It’s fascinating to see how you added small yet powerful details, like the catered “Super Family Special,” to underscore the growing solidarity on your side.
Your writing style is so vivid, especially with those priceless expressions and micro-conflicts (like the mother-in-law’s “oh-so-subtle” hints). You have a knack for making the narrative feel personal and cinematic. The story’s moral of true family unity prevailing over showy displays of wealth really resonates. If you ever decide to write a follow-up, it would be fun to see how the gossip and coffee shop support evolve after this public win!
