“What this advertising boycott is going to do is it’s going to kill the company,” he said.
Nobody owes you anything, you idiot. Businesses have the right to decide not to advertise with you, people have the right not to go to your platform, groups have the right not to host their content there. Your business was a convenient and vaguely congenial place for everyone to meet, but that’s not true anymore.
Also yes it’s going to kill the company. Boycotts against company owners aren’t meant to be “please sir stop being a piece of shit” they’re meant to hurt. They’re meant to send a clear and painful message, and ideally create room for a less piece of shit alternative to succeed
“The whole world will know those advertisers killed the company, and we will document it in great detail,” he added.
Absolute spoiled bratt, nothing is his fault.
At this point there is zero doubt left that Musk is an idiot.
All he did was being born rich and being lucky with his investments so far.
Yeah he’s sorry for the tweet…now. Not when he posted it, not when people complained but now - when the consequences hit and it cost him money.
And not even then. When it became so much money it might sink his ship. When he thought he could weather it until it passed he tried lashing out without apologizing.
And also yeah he’s apologizing about the antisemitism and racism. But he’s not apologizing about the other bigotry. Only the bigotry that was able to gather enough backlash to actually hurt him
What a spoiled brat
