Elon Musk pushed back on advertisers boycotting X over antisemitism and other hate speech on the platform formerly known as Twitter during the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday.

What he’s saying: “If somebody’s gonna try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f**k yourself.” Musk said. “Don’t advertise.”

    With one notable exception: report, inform and spread news about Swedish metalworker union strike against Tesla.

      Just as with Trump when he was in office, the right thing to do is report on actions, not their baiting words.

      Your example falls under that. How is his company actually parcipating, not participating, undermining, etc union negotiations? Thats legit. Hypothetically reporting on Elon xeeting “fuck unions herp derp im edgy!” during said negotiations is a bad idea on the other hand.
