Elon Musk to Advertisers Trying to Blackmail Him: ‘Go. F*ck. Yourself.’

‘Is that clear?’

EXCERPT:

MUSK: "If somebody is gonna try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f**k yourself."
SORKIN: "But — "
MUSK: "Go. F**k. Yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. Hey, Bob, here in the audience."
SORKIN: "Well, let me ask you then — "
MUSK: "That’s how I feel. Don’t advertise."
SORKIN: "How do you think then about the economics of X? If part of the underlying model, at least today — and maybe it needs to shift, maybe the answer is it needs to shift away from advertising — if you believe that this is the one part of your business where you will be beholden to those who have this view, what do you do?"
MUSK: "GFY."
