The ongoing spat between X and 'big advertizers' is coming to a head:
That's pretty emphatic!
Check out how CNN reported it:
I.e., he apologized for agreeing with someone's post that NGOs pushing directed mass migration tend to be led by, or funded by, powerful Jews, which indeed smacks of 'anti-Semitism' in the sense that it's classically invoked ("world Jewry is behind negative trends or events")... but then whoever wrote that headline inadvertently reinforced the 'anti-Semitic theory' by linking his above response to advertizers by placing that "but" there! Joined together by that "but", CNN implicitly acknowledges that the flight of advertizing revenue from X is 'organized/led by' said 'world Jewry! They could well have written: "Musk apologized to us ('world Jewry'), but then turned around and told us to go f*ck ourselves! What cheek!"
Added:
A longer clip of his above comments, showing the interviewer's shock and subsequent attempt to 'make Musk see reason', at which point Musk basically says X will go down in flames if that's the price to pay for defending free speech:
This makes me think that Musk's 'turn to Jerusalem' earlier this week was merely a sop to shore up his defenses while he prepared to dig in against 'them'...
