Elon Musk’s X-pletive to Advertisers 11/30/23

Elon Musk’s interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the NYT DealBook Summit has gone viral, in part thanks to Musk’s message to advertisers pulling their ad spend from his platform: “Go f— yourself.” In a wide-ranging interview, the X owner and Tesla CEO apologizes for the post on X, FKA Twitter, responding to an antisemitic post. He discusses his own mental health, his trip to Israel, his original vision for OpenAI when he co-founded and named it, and so much more. Andrew Ross Sorkin recaps the highlights of that interview with Becky Quick and Joe Kernen. Plus, former House Speaker Paul Ryan is not holding back. He says he doesn’t want former President Donald Trump to return to the White House, and he calls Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley a “growth stock.” For more of Andrew’s conversations at The New York Times DealBook Summit, check out NYT’s full coverage.
