Elon Musk on Advertising Boycott and Company Survival
Interviewer:
What was that trip like and obviously you know that there’s a public perception that that was part of an apology tour if you will that this had been said online there was all of the criticism there was advertisers leaving we talked to Bob Iger hope they stop you hope uh don’t advertise you don’t want them to advertise no what do you mean if somebody’s going to try to Blackmail me with advertising blackmail me with money go yourself but go yourself is that clear I hope it is hey Bob here in the audience well well let me ask you then that’s how I feel don’t advertise how do you think then about the economics of of x if if if if part of the underlying model at least today and maybe it needs to shift maybe the answer is it needs to shift away from advertising um if if you believe that this is the one part of your business where you will be beholden to those who uh have this view what you do FY I I I understand but there’s a reality too right yes no no Lind Yaro is right here and she’s got to sell advertising absolutely so um no no tell so so no actually what what does advertising boycott is uh is is going to do it’s going to kill the company and do you think that the but and the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail but there are those advertisers I imagine are going to say they’re going to say we can kill the company oh yeah they’re going to say tell to Earth but they’re going to say that they’re going to say Elon that you killed the company because you said these things and that they were inappropriate things and they didn’t feel comfortable on the platform right that’s that’s what they’re going to say and let’s see how Earth responds to that so okay this then this goes back to we we’ll both make our cases right and we’ll see what the outcome is what are the economics of that for you I mean you you have enormous resources so you can actually keep this company going for a very long time would you keep it going for a long time if there was no advertising I mean if the company fails because of an ad advertising boycott it will fail because of an advertis boycott and that will be what bankrupted the company and that’s what all everybody on Earth will know what do you think then of the this goes back to the idea of trust though then it’ll be gone and it’ll be gone because of an advertised boycott but but you recognize that some of those people are going to say that they didn’t feel comfortable on the platform and I I wonder I just wonder and ask you and think about that for a second tell it to the judge but the but the judge is going to be the judge is the public

Just play on repeat.
I love the way Elon Musk can't be bought with money.
Why is Musk dressed as the ghost of a WW2 Luftwaffe pilot?
Elon is a twit when it really comes down to it.😊

OH THIS AGED PERFECTLY!! The public is judging you now eh?
He said exactly what so many before him were too afraid to say
This is Elon's Ron Burgundy moment.

Non bleep version
He’s absolutely right. Everything he said is being realized.
Go woke, go broke
Well done mate X😂

Hey Elon you crazy right wing nonsense has turned my purchase of two of your vehicles into a nightmare. I have no sympathy for you as you brought this upon yourself but having bought my vehicles before your venture into maga land here and abroad I/we tesla owners are the ones without body guards, the ones not involved in right wing politics that have to worry about assault, harassment and vehicle damage. Don’t see a good future selling cars for your company sad to say. You ruined tesla
Elon goes full emo, what a DOGEbag
'Not my intention.' Politician-speak that grifters use when they're lying through their teeth. What a snivelling user. You use a Nazi salute when you have Nazi intentions. Just like his despicable father.
Now its go f__k myself, now that Tesla is plummeting.
