Today, in a public conversation with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times DealBook Summit, Twitter CEO Elon Musk was asked about his thoughts about the many companies and brands that have stopped advertising on Twitter following Musk's antisemitic comments on the platform recently. His response was simple: the companies can go f*ck themselves.Oh, he meant it:
As you can tell from the clip, Sorkin was extremely uncomfortable as Musk repeatedly chanted go f*ck yourself to the advertisers, motioning to the crowd. At one point, Musk even called out Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, by name. During this enter conversation, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino was in the audience, although he camera did not capture her reaction.The NYT is on the case:

Funny they missed him cursing his advertisers and leading a profane chant. Or didn’t seem to notice he’s as emotionally stable as a five-year old. An emotionally troubled five-year old.*????????????????????????

I mean, a 52 year old man who is “Good Elmo” and “Bad Elmo” in the same hour? And this is just a “conundrum”? The NYT editors must have had a fit of the vapors at such language! How could they possibly report it?
Sometimes I really wonder about the “adults” in this world.
No word on whether this was “Good Elmo” or “Bad Elmo” speaking.“Jonathan, the only reason I’m here is because you’re a friend.”

*He’s also pulled a truly Trumpian move of screwing his suit against Media Matters and made Texas and Missouri reconsider their interest in pursuing any action.
