“Don’t advertise. If someone is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f**k yourself.
Go f**k yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.”
But, he explains, “the whole world will know those advertisers killed the company… and we’ll document it in great detail.”
Sorkin replies “those advertisers will say, ‘we didnt’ kill the company’ to which Musk cuts him off:
“Oh yeah, tell that to earth.. and let’s see how earth responds to that.”

With regards to the anti-semtitic tweet, Musk admits his action was:
“I mean, look, I’m sorry for that post. It was foolish of me. Of the 30,000 it might be literally the worst and dumbest post I’ve ever done.
And I’ve tried my best to clarify six ways from Sunday, but you know at least I think it’ll be obvious that in fact far from being antisemitic, I’m in fact philosemitic.”
Musk clarifies once again the thought process behind his retweet:
“What I was saying was that it’s unwise to support groups that want your annihilation,” he says.
If it encouraged anti-semites, he says: “I am quite sorry,” adding, “I should in retrospect not have replied to that particular post.”
“Essentially I handed a loaded gun to the people who hate me,” he said.
He also insisted his trip to Israel was “not an apology tour.”
But, he explains, “I have no problem being hated,” and responding to questions about ‘trust’, Musk points out that his work speaks for itself.
