Elon Musk curses out advertisers who left X over antisemitic content – Times of India
The article reports on Elon Musk’s recent apology for an antisemitic post on his platform, X. During an interview at the New York Times DealBook Summit, Musk expressed regret for his “dumbest” social media post but strongly criticized advertisers leaving X due to rising antisemitism. He explicitly told them to “go f**k yourself.” This comes after several major brands, including Disney, paused advertising on X following Musk’s public embrace of an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Musk acknowledged the controversy, admitting he sometimes says “the wrong thing” and labeling his own tweet as potentially the “worst” he’s ever done. Despite visiting Israel recently and engaging with its leadership on security issues, Musk insisted that his trip was not an apology tour.
The article also touches on Musk’s remarks about the recent leadership shakeup at OpenAI, expressing concerns about potential dangers of artificial intelligence.
In a meandering conversation, Musk addressed various topics, including childhood trauma, aliens, and using X in the bathroom, leading to some attendees leaving before the discussion concluded.
