Elon Musk has dropped the hammer on “woke” advertisers who are holding Twitter/X to ransom in an effort to block his free speech agenda.
Speaking during an interview at the New York Times DealBook Summit, Musk accused ad companies of trying to “blackmail me with money.”
Musk then looked into the audience and declared: “Go f*ck yourself.”
As the room fell silent in amazement, Musk then raised his hands in the air and reiterated: “Go. F*ck. Yourself.”
“Is that clear?” he asked as the audience gasped. “I hope it is.”
“Hey Bob,” Musk added, addressing Disney CEO Bob Iger.
Musk then explained that he simply doesn’t want companies to advertise with X if they believe their ad dollars allow them to dictate how he runs the company.
When the stunned host, Andrew Ross Sorkin, asked how his attitude affects “the economics of X,” Musk responded by declaring: “F-Y” – f*ck you.
As the conversation shifted, Musk called out those pushing the green agenda for financial or political objectives that have nothing to do with the environment.
“What I see all over the place is people who care about looking good, while doing evil,” Musk explained.
“F*ck them,” he blasted.
He argued that his electric vehicle (EV) company Tesla has done more to help the environment than all other companies combined.
He noted that, as the CEO of Tesla, he has done more for the environment than any of his critics, especially those who claim to be “fighting climate change.”
Elsewhere during the long, wide-ranging interview, Musk said he will not be voting for Democrat President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
He noted that he has yet to endorse any candidate for president.
Musk also explained the importance of protecting and encouraging free speech.

Earlier in November, Musk followed through on a threat to file a lawsuit against Media Matters.
Media Matters is a George Soros-funded leftist propaganda outlet that misleadingly presents itself as a media watchdog.
Musk accused the organization of manipulating data in order to make it appear that advertisements appeared next to white supremacist hashtags on the platform.
Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters, responded to the threat with a brief statement.
“Far from the free speech advocate he claims to be, Musk is a bully who threatens meritless lawsuits in an attempt to silence reporting that he even confirmed is accurate,” said Carusone.
“Musk admitted the ads at issue ran alongside the pro-Nazi content we identified.
“If he does sue us, we will win.”
Nevertheless, Musk followed through on his promise and filed a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against Media Matters.

Meanwhile, Musk appears eager to battle with the anti-American organization.
“The discovery and depositions will be glorious to behold,” he declared.
