Elon Musk has blasted advertisers boycotting the social media platform X following backlash over a tweet he made. “If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f**k yourself,” Mr Musk said. “Is that clear? I hope it is.” This comes after some global companies paused advertising on social media platform X amid a growing boycott against the actions of its owner, Mr Musk. The entrepreneur provoked a fierce backlash after Mr Musk seemingly agreed with and amplified an anti-Semitic post.
