    Musk responded that the advertising boycott is likely to kill the company. “What this advertising boycott is going to do is it’s going to kill the company, and the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail,”

    When Sorkin pointed out that advertisers see things differently, Musk replied, “oh yeah? Tell it to Earth.”

    Sorkin continued: “They’re going to say, Elon, that you killed the company because you said these things and they were inappropriate things and they didn’t feel comfortable on the platform. That’s what they’re going to say.”

    “And let’s see how Earth responds to that,” Musk replied.

    I mean… I think that pretty much removes any last doubt anyone might have had that Elon Musk had any grasp on the reality that he himself exists in.

      Dude you missed quoting the best bit!

      “If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself,” Musk said.

      Sorkin replied, “but,” and trailed off. Musk wasn’t done. “Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. Hey, Bob!” Musk said. Musk was apparently addressing Disney CEO Bob Iger, who previously said at the conference that advertising on X “was not necessarily a positive” association and so Disney “decided we would pull our advertising.”

      The Muskrat told Disney CEO to go fuck himself.

      On video.

      With a hard F. No dissembling.

      The Tesla board should remove him as CEO as he is clearly unstable.

      It’s mean to laugh at people self destructing.

      But anyway … fucking lol.

      You can’t hold a firm grasp on reality if it is distorted by your massive narcissism already. He thinks anyone but the bags of shit still on his platform care.

      Twitter never actually mattered and nothing of value will be lost. He can pound sand.

      I mean, he seemed pretty fucking high out of his gourd, so I suspect that he didn’t really know what reality he was in.
