Elon Musk Answers Why He Told Advertisers to ‘Go F*ck Yourself’

Q: “Why did you say that? And what did you mean by that?”

A: “Well, first of all, it wasn’t to the advertisers as a whole. It was with respect to freedom of speech. I think it is important to have a global free speech platform where people from a wide range of opinions can voice their views. And in some cases, there were advertisers who were insisting on censorship. And at the end of the day, if we have to make a choice between censorship and money or free speech and losing money, we’re going to pick the second. We’re going to support free speech rather than agree to be censored for money, which is, I think, the right moral decision.”
