Elon Musk got up on stage at some New York Times thing this morning and when asked about how whenever he says one of this dog shit dumb opinions out loud, it pushes advertisers away from X, he said "I hope they stop. Don't advertise", further elaborating that "if somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is". He reckons "what this advertising boycott is gonna do is it's gonna kill the company" and that "we'll be gone, and it'll be gone because of an advertiser boycott". I know whenever I tell the people I want money from to fuck themselves, they love it and actually end up giving me more money than I asked for! As Ryan over at Garbage Day says in today's issue, Musk "has always pandered to what he thinks is cool and — more importantly — what he thinks will distract people from the fact he's just a rich guy LARPing as a dumb guy's idea of a smart guy".
