Musk used to be the darling of the Mainstream Media. Once he started to step out of line on many of their narratives he became a target. By revealing the Twitter files showing the Soviet styled methods of using Twitter as a government aided propaganda tool to attack opponents he became the media’s enemy.
Yet the cabal of elites waited patiently to boycott until he gave them a valid excuse. Crafty indeed.

You are the stupidest person to have ever lived. Christ.
Using God’s name in vain is a clear sign Satan has you firmly in his grasp to do his dirty work and cloud your feeble mind. I’ll be praying for you to be released from this evil control because there is still hope for your lost soul.
The Right: to hell with this league! We’re going to boycott and burn our season tickets and gear and never give them a dime again!
—Elon Musk endorses an antisemitic conspiracy theory post and advertisers pull their money because they don’t wNt to associated with such views—
The Right: that’s outrageous! That’s blackmail!
And just to jump ahead of the obtuseness here, I disagreed with the attempts to boycott the NFL, but I fully supported the rights of all those people to destroy their own property and refuse to support the NFL in anyway. It’s their property, let them do with it what they wish.
So what’s the difference here, besides Elon being their guy? If you’re the head of a company and you do some crap that makes me not like you, I have every right to stop giving you my money.
And to the person earlier who mentioned hate messaging on Instagram, to whatever extent they’re making efforts to clamp down on that (I don’t have that data) Mark Zuckerberg isn’t supporting those hateful posts, is he? He’s too busy trying to get his ass handed to him in the octagon.
My next vehicle (buying in 2024) will be a Tesla. For a variety of reasons. one of which is Musk bucking the establishment.
What establishment? The conventional principles that a functioning business needs positive cash-flow? The historical precedent that whiny man-children permanently scarred from bullying shouldn't be in charge of companies? The logic that a company whose sole source of revenue is advertising shouldn't have a thin-skinned conspiratorial jackass moron pissing off brands left and right?
Yeah, that's just the person I think we should look up to! Great thinking, retard.
I'm not buying a Tesla, or any EV, but yeah Musk is doing things the lefties don't like. They're unhappy they no longer have full control of social media, especially with 2024 coming up.
I support free speech not woke silencing. Musk is not antisemitic, but the media has put a target on him because they are filled with Marxist, leftist, and antiemetic persons who hate America, hate freedom, and hate people that go against the Democratic Party controlled narratives to stay in power.
That's the most nearly perfect post I have ever seen.
"woke" - check
"Marxist" - check
"leftist" - check
"hate America" - check
"hate freedom" - check
"Dem controlled narratives" - check
Maybe you could have thrown a "sheeple" or two in there - but dang, that was a great post!

Wouldn’t the better analogy be:
NFL Players don’t stand for anthem
Advertisers pull their money from NFL
Left: that’s blackmail
Elon states something that left does not like
Advertisers pull their money from X
Right: that’s blackmail
Did any advertisers pull their money from NFL?
Except the NFL didn't take a knee, some of the players did. Did the Commissioner of the NFL or Jerry Jones take a knee?
In the case of X, it is the owner taking doing the offensive things.
I think a few advertisers pulled out on the NFL, and some fans did. Trump made a number of negative comments about it and the ratings were down for a while. I don't recall the left being too upset about it in any case.

Find me the majority of lefties accusing the people protesting the NFL players’ stance as “blackmail.”
Papa John’s canceled their association with the NFL. Century Link and Air Academy Federal Credit Union terminated their sponsorship of Brandon Marshall after he kneeled during the anthem. All of which is their right.
Nike and other major corporations stood by the protesting players. Some people chose to then boycott Nike. Again, their right. Why didn’t more companies go the route of Papa John’s? Because the national outrage wasn’t there. The country was evenly split on supporting the players or saying that the protest shouldn’t be done.
By contrast, a strong majority of the country is opposed to an antisemitic conspiracy theory that inspired a terrorist to kill 11 people at synagogue.
It seems a lot of people here don’t understand the difference between a words:
A boycott is a legal protest by which individuals refuse to make use of a entity’s services or support that entity.
Blackmail is coercing someone to take a course of action by threatening them with the exposure of damaging information.
Extortion is using the threat of illegal damages or violence to coerce a course of action or confiscate property.
If you watch the entire interview it is clear Musk is much more thoughtful and intelligent than 99% of his critics. The small portion of the interview that will get the most clickbait play will be distorted because he uses the FU verbiage. The interviewer should do a little soul-searching research on the flagrant liberal bias of The NY Times for most of its history, along with his own prejudices against anyone labeled Conservative. I’d be surprised if he does these sort of sit-down interviews with anyone with a Conservative point of view.

So you have read or listened to 100% of Musk's critics in order to make that claim? Doubtful, but impressive if true.
Musk didn't appear to be particularly insightful. He acknowledged the potential damage of advertisers leaving but deflected any blame directed towards his own actions or platform mismanagement. The "FU" statements didn't offend me, it is just performance art by a socially awkward man. But the allegation that he was being blackmailed was ignorant
"About 200 big advertisers, including Disney, Apple and IBM, stopped spending on X after Mr. Musk agreed with a post that accused Jewish communities of pushing “hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”
Only 3 companies stopped advertising? I mean, I don’t know why Disney was advertising on X in the first place. Do any users of X watch the new Disney movies?
Hopefully other companies will step up to compensate for that shortfall. Probably a good time to get free advertising for companies who have a minority of wokes as customers. The problem is that women control 85% of the spending in the US and I believe that the vast majority of women are woke. It unfortunately does not leave many advertisers for Elon. What products do men buy “on their own” AND does not have many women buyers?
Ultra luxury sports cars (Ferrari…)
Some very specific alcoholic beverages (high alcohol content…)
Some cigarettes
Boats, Yachts
Some motorcycles…
It’s a pretty short list I think (please feel free to add to this list)
Not enough to survive
Which is why you can understand that companies who depend on advertising to survive simply follow woke ideology.

There is no list because no company is blackmailing X.
Special snowflake Musk does not know what "blackmailing" is.
When you demand action and promise financial punishment if you don't get your way what do you call it?
You're whining about Musk not censoring Twitter the way you want and you think he's the snowflake.
Get a life.
Maybe you should look up the definition of blackmail vs. boycott. What secret information about Musk do you think these companies threatening to reveal?
