Elon Musk: First a curse, then an apology: 'Go f... yourself'

During a program he attended last night, Elon Musk made interesting remarks regarding the decision of major companies to stop advertising on the X platform.

However, these remarks were quite unusual. Within just a few minutes, Elon Musk both used offensive language and was forced to apologize afterward.

According to the report by Eray Kalelioğlu from Webtekno, the latest dispute between Elon Musk and advertisers began when the billionaire businessman made a post containing "antisemitic" content. In response to an X user's post stating, "Jews are pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them," Elon Musk replied, "You have said the actual truth." This post, which caused a widespread reaction in the digital environment, led to Elon Musk being perceived as antisemitic. This situation caused many major brands to stop advertising on the X platform.

"I AM VERY SORRY"

During the program, Elon Musk stated regarding the post in question, "In retrospect, I shouldn't have replied to that person. I essentially handed a loaded gun to those who hate me and who are arguably antisemitic, and for that, I am very sorry. That was not my intention."

Elon Musk's insulting statement directed at advertisers was as follows:

"IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?"

"If someone is going to try to blackmail me with advertising or money, go f... yourself. Go f... yourself. Is that clear enough?" Following these remarks, Elon Musk targeted Disney CEO Bob Iger. Using the phrase, "Hey Bob, if you're in the audience," he added that if advertisers do not return to the X platform, the company will go bankrupt.

Meanwhile, to explain why Elon Musk directly targeted Bob Iger; speaking at the same event, Iger criticized Elon Musk regarding their decision not to advertise on X, stating that the stance taken by Elon Musk—alluding to his antisemitic post on X—was not suitable for them. Iger stated that this was the reason they decided to stop advertising.
