Advertisers continue to bail on X after Elon Musk’s profanity-laced tirade
More advertisers are likely to flee Elon Musk's social-media company X after the billionaire lashed out at some of the biggest names in the media industry at a New York Times DealBook event for dropping out of the platform, analysts said on Thursday.
Elon Musk launched into a profanity-laden diatribe against fleeing advertisers, accusing brands of blackmail, with apparent criticism directed at Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger in particular.
In a memo to employees on Thursday, which was seen by Reuters, X Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino said Musk's interview was "candid and profound," and encouraged staff to watch it. She reiterated that X's mission is to be an open platform without censorship.
