An exodus of big-name advertisers appeared under way at X, formerly Twitter, on Friday in the wake of Elon Musk endorsing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
Nonprofit group Media Matters added Apple, Disney, Comcast, Lionsgate Entertainment, and Paramount Global to its list of companies pausing advertising on X.
Got you to pay for Premium+?Ok, the "ANTI freeze peach" got me.
Elon Musk on Wednesday told advertisers who’ve abandoned X over his antisemitic and conspiratorial posts to “Go fuck yourself,” throwing a normally calm media summit off the rails during its closing session.
What the heck is up with his face? He looks so weird. I occasionally read the dumb things he says but I can't remember the last timeI saw him in a video.
The "What the earth thinks of that" line hit me pretty hard to. Sounds like an eight year old's argument."What the earth thinks of that", regarding killing X? Does he think people en masse will come to his defense for his disregard for advertisers? Sure, people in general don't like many types of ads, but no one's going to champion him for telling them to go fuck themselves. He's completely delusional.
I thought he was absolutely terrified, insecure, and trying to cover it up with bravado....and did so poooooorly.What the heck is up with his face? He looks so weird. I occasionally read the dumb things he says but I can't remember the last timeI saw him in a video.

He'll also die on Earth, not on Mars.
That was my take too. He kept looking to the audience for validation, much like a child would. For the most part, he was met with stony silence because the audience was not made up with Musk sycophants.I thought he was absolutely terrified, insecure, and trying to cover it up with bravado....and did so poooooorly.
I'm betting there's a very high chance of him dying attempting to get to Mars.I'm not so sure about that.
It's honestly not that hard to get humans to Mars. 70-100kg to the Martian surface is trivial so long as you don't worry about the implementation details (eg. in one piece, alive, chance in hell of getting back, etc.). But you know, fail hard and fail often, or whatever his mantra is this week. All of that stuff will sort itself out in testing. Being a man of his word he will surely be on the B Ark, which as we all know will be the first one launched.
It's called aging. Elon is, contrary to legends, not immortal after all. He'll also die on Earth, not on Mars.
If you could convince him to try this sooner than later it would be a boon "to earth".I'm not so sure about that.
