Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 Billion. If he is lucky, he might be able to sell his renamed social media platform for $44 million. Advertisers started flocking away from his renamed social media platform (X), after he endorsed an antisemitic tweet. He tried to win them back by going to Israel and meeting with Netanyahu. I guess it did not work and he vented in an interview yesterday.

If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money go f**k yourself. Go. F**k. Yourself. Is that clear? Hey Bob, (Bob Iger – Disney CEO) if you’re in the audience, that’s how I feel.”

He did try to dig himself out.

“I mean, look, I’m sorry for that … post. It was foolish of me. Of the 30,000 it might be literally the worst and dumbest post I’ve ever done. And I’ve tried my best to clarify six ways from Sunday, but you know at least I think it’ll be obvious that in fact far from being antisemitic, I’m in fact philosemitic.”

Philosemitic? It is a word. Elon, no matter how you want to sugarcoat it, the level of antisemitic posts has risen substantially since you took over. You need to do something about or your platform will crash and burn. Maybe even the $44 million selling price tag is too high.
