Elon Musk said advertisers are trying to control and blackmail him by not paying for ads on his platform.
His statement follows a recent trend of boycotts by advertisers such as Apple and Disney, which have stopped advertising on X.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has had a rocky relationship with advertisers since buying Twitter last year.
Musk is known for being outspoken and critical, and he often speaks out loud.
And recently, he sparked controversy again by promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on social media platforms.
On Wednesday, Musk said he had given his critics a “loaded gun” and said his post was perhaps the worst in a series of messages that included many “stupid messages.
“Tesla CEO furious at the idea he was anti-Semitic, he left X, formerly known as Twitter Advertisers can be threatened by saying ‘fuck’ over and over again He said that it should not be considered.
At one point, he added the words “Hey Bob,” an apparent reference to Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger, who had placed an ad in the X.
As a result, many brands, including Disney and Apple, suspended advertising from X (Twitter) in protest of his comments.
His obscene remarks come at a time when he first said “I’m sorry” on Nov. 15 for a tweet consistent with an anti-Semitic post on X, in an interview with the New York Times.
Musk on November 15 agreed with a user who falsely claimed that Jews are inciting hatred against white people, and who referred to the ‘’Great Replacements’’ conspiracy theory as ‘’actual truth.’’
