Elon Musk's Controversial Clash with Advertisers over Antisemitic Content

Elon Musk, CEO of X (formerly known as Twitter), lashed out at advertisers who left the platform over antisemitic content, telling them to "Go fuck yourself" in a fiery interview. Musk expressed remorse for agreeing with an anti-Jewish post and acknowledged the harm caused by his tweet. He denied being antisemitic and criticized advertisers for attempting to blackmail him. Major companies, including Walt Disney and Warner Bros Discovery, suspended their ads on X following the controversy. Musk's comments have put pressure on X and its CEO, Linda Yaccarino. Despite offering an apology, Musk's expletives against advertisers may have a lasting impact on the platform's relationships with brands.
