Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Elon Musk Tells Advertisers Pulling Out of X, “Go F*** Yourself”

HeadlineNov 30, 2023

X CEO Elon Musk lashed out during a New York Times event Wednesday when asked about recent advertiser boycotts over Musk’s reposting of antisemitic content.

Elon Musk: “If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself. But — go fuck yourself. Is that clear?”

Over 100 brands have halted their ads on X, formerly Twitter, which stands to lose $75 million in ad sales by the end of the year.
