Elon Musk pushed back on advertisers boycotting X over antisemitism and other hate speech on the platform formerly known as Twitter during the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday.

What he's saying: "If somebody's gonna try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f**k yourself." Musk said. "Don't advertise."

Musk reminds me of Charlie Sheen in the midst of his coke fueled Tiger Blood rants. He is unhinged, we are watching him meltdown in real time.

Imagine being the head of advertising at Twitter and hearing your boss say this.

Exactly, his “graveyards are full of my enemies” batshit rant reminded me exactly of “strafing runs in my underwear”. Dude’s fucking gakked to the gills or whatever’s stupider and worse than coke.

That's when it all made sense to me. That graveyard rant pretty much confirmed he never matured beyond a 13 year old.

Yaccarino presumably huffs Andrew Tate farts just like he does, why else would she be there?

And yes the Charlie Sheen thing is a very apt comparison. Both whacked out sex addicts.

Shes an avid Trump booster according to her NBC coworkers. Also a "scorched earth" boss, who "created her own reality" as needed.

So, yup.

She has an add background but is the CEO, not the person who has to actually make calls trying to placate companies to keep their add spend.

She is there (and well paid) to be the fall guy when EM needs one.

Worth the click for the illustration at the top.

Relaticely little info in the article.

Thanks for the link but what is with the decision to use a fine light gray fonts on a white background?
