1. Yah bwahahahah go f@#&k yourself

2. Elon is great.

   1. Keep thinking that.
      Elon is not great. He is a distraction.

      1. Perhaps he’s a great distraction? Hegel is your friend!

3. Head of Disney, Bob Iger is in the audience … furiously taking notes to return to the board and tell them how Elon “really feels”

4. Someone please archive this. It’s such a perfect bitch-slapping of the Liberal elite.

5. GFY. Which also happen to be my pronouns.

6. Well, he literally does have more “F U money” than any other person on the planet, so.

   And yes, he is great. Not perfect, but definitely great.

7. Sorkin is so sunk into the goo he doesn’t even comprehend he is advocating censorship.

   1. But, but, but … wouldn’t it be a WONDERFUL world if nobody was allowed to say ANY hurtful things!? I could paint my face and pierce every part of it … and you’d NOT be allowed to even so much as scowl at my insanity, err … “difference”

      It would be FABULOUS… if you were FORCED into silence. Come on comrades! We’re almost there!

8. “What this advertising boycott is going to do is, it is going to kill the company,” Musk said. “And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company.”

   Hopefully Mr Musk has a plan to prevent the death of X; you’d assume so with that level of bridge burning.

   And Disney probably can’t afford the advertising.

   1. He’s burning a bridge that needs to burn down completely.

      Where evil can ooze, it will.

      Good for Elon.

      If it was Tiger Woods, the oohing and aweing would never stop.

      Elon has big cojones. I wouldn’t have thought so, but here we are.

9. People that think they got you by the short & curlies because they give you a paycheck are never prepared for this one. The way things are going for Disney, Musk could probably take it over. Or deorbit a rocket on Disneyland.

   1. Space mountain with real rockets would be cool.

      I wish I had a billion. Would spend first month telling so many people to GF themselves.

      1. It doesn’t cost that much and you can’t believe how great it feels.

         We will all have to show some real spine in coming months and years.

10. This is just the voice of an extraordinary african-american rapping back at cry bullies.

    ‘.

11. He’s in a good position. The ad revenue decreased since 2021. However, he ditched a significant expense when he discarded 80% of the useless employees. That’s nice offset.

12. Listen to the lefty journalists go crazy over the billionaire who cares more about….’checks notes’….. free free speech than money?

13. Nice one, Elon!
    Elon’s swipe at Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger is well deserved. He told investors that he would tone down Disney’s participation in the culture war of the left. I guess he lied.

    And, if Bob Iger had any decency, he would refuse his salary, and resign, in recognition of his ongoing damage ( down 50%, still ) to Disney’s stock price. Without the theme park cash cows, who knows where the Disney stock price would be.

14. One can be impressed with Musk.
    The guy has the cash, the power of not bloody caring what they say about him.
    He is his own man. Rather down to earth guy.
    He has to keep his itinerary to himself and his aides so some of the many nuts around the world would not make it their aim to liquidate him. Other than that, he regularly shows at places and talks to podcasters like some kind of ordinary guy.
    The guy started with nothing. Everything he’s got he worked for.
    Don’t know if Musk donates to the politicians. Do they try to throw guilt at him to extort contributions?
    It worked with certain Gates, the attacks at him stopped as though some kind of miracle.

    1. ” … Don’t know if Musk donates to the politicians …”

       If he did, I imagine that Canadian politicians would crap themselves with worry that the word would get out to the press.

       You know….like meeting with Christine Anderson.

15. We should all thank Musk for exposing to the world the evil of government and media to censor the truth.

    What the world will do with this gift is beyond his control.

    Let’s wish him well.

    1. Exactly.

16. Elon doesn’t just believe in free speech; he avails himself of it at every opportunity.

    Remarkable, in a world where nonsensical, fantasy-based, drug-fueled political correctness feigns injury at the slightest hint of disagreement.

    If we are unable to disagree, then we are unable to engage in conversation. If we are unable to engage in deep, bruising conversation, all progress ends. That is what we are seeing today, in real time.

17. Musk’s threat is actually the exact same threat that Trump leveled against the leftist (and GOPe) cabal running The Deep State. He said … go ahead … come after me! Show the public who you REALLY are … and watch what they do. Your EVIL will shine through … and all decent people will flee from you. They will join me in the fight for basic human decency. Your EVIL will make me stronger. Isn’t that exactly what Obi Wan Kenobi said to Darth Vader as he was put to the sword? Strike me down … and you will only make me stronger.

    Musk is telling Bob Igor that HE will end up losing more money than Musk … as the public … the world sees what it is that Disney is selling … they’re selling Fascist Authoritarianism. No sale. Goodbye Disney. Goodbye Bud Light. Goodbye Fox News. Goodbye Target. The list of EVIL corporations is getting long … The world has had enough of the left. Look around the world. The People are rising up and throwing off the chains of their overlords.
