“If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? Hey Bob, if you’re in the audience. That’s how I feel, don’t advertise.”
- Elon, 2023
Careful, you might convince Tesla shareholders to fork over a few more billion to keep the big brained genius motivated.

I so very hope this idiot asshole winds up either jailed and/or has his wealth severely diminished and most of his businesses fail from being unable to repay loans / convicted of fraud.
He's the closest person on earth to becoming Horatio from the Endless series, yet he's also basically a badly written Bond villain.
What a pos.

Literally all he needs to do is shut the fuck up and collect money, and he can't even manage that.

Go anti-woke, go broke, Apartheid Boy!
Go fash, lose cash. 👍🏻
He was tolerated as a phreak, but he mistook that tolerance as adulation.
Ultimately his arrogance, ignorance, bigotry, misogyny, and intolerance, leads to ignoring rather than tolerating the phreak.

Didn't he tell advertisers leaving to go fuck themselves? I don't expect a very long queue of returning ones.
Surely the appreciate the "authenticity" with which he told them to "go fuck yourselves" before flip-flopping and begging them to come back?

Go eat a dick Elon
Asking him to auto-cannibalise? I like it.
Is he trying to put on a good appearance for the advertisers? I thought it was strange that he didn't have a transphobic streak of Twitter interactions this June. Very out of character.
Maybe that big bonus package that the board approved stipulated that he must not, quote "say anything stupid" for a little while.

"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department," he admitted.
He's been brainwashed by his fans if he thinks that somehow makes it better.
Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier. It's not a value that's always good in every context. And the worst thing he could be doing is doubling down on his opinions and policy.
If he left the company is the only way this would help, he wouldn't even be a fall guy because most of this is entirely his fault
Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier.
sounds like he needs that PR department
That and a set of kneepads.

Yeah I robbed that gas station but at least some crime boss didn't make me do it. It was genuine so you should forgive me
Reminds me of the people who say things like "I say it like it is, and most people don't like it"...not knowing that the reason they don't have many friends is because they don't have a filter and don't think they need one, lol
But this looks like Elon Musk admitting that he's genuinely an idiot, lol
