this isn't happening
I caught him complaining that there are too many regulations for putting cars on the road. So many that they would fill a room if they were put into phonebooks. Tesla complies with all regulations except for the ones he doesn't like.

Look on my Posts, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
Dig up, idiot!

No wait you’re fine, carry on.

Any specific reason he picked out the CEO of Disney, or is that part of the growing right wing hate of Disney?

Does he explain what he means by blackmail in the full clip? Like are people making specific demands?

I can’t watch it, it’s too cringe.
yeah the blackmail demand was "stop loving retweeting antisemitic hate speech" from advertisers who didn't want to spend money to be associated with that poo poo so publicly.

Disney being a huge customer would be an understatement.

Alone what they spend is going to be tremendous.

Now imagine companies hearing Disney is pulling out of something, that's going to cause a domino effect.

They pulled their ads and also I guess Disney's accounts are no longer actively posting on the site

How to lose face and advertiser people?

I wonder what he'll do if twitter does bankrupt or collapse or otherwise end up completely dead. Is he going to spew bile on the other sites until they, hopefully, ban him? It's not like he can stop posting. Is he going to attempt to pull a trump and try and make his own social media platform?

Can't wait to see how this will affect tesla stock. But given how the world works it'll probably go up.

I like how Elon thinks he’s standing behind his virtues and expects everyone to clap and support him. His slow repetition of the phrase to a stunned audience who awkwardly laughs. The host is like…really? We’re going here?

Off the cliff for a whole interview? Weeee

Honestly I'm not quite sure why leadership at all these businesses Elon is invested in don't come together to boot him.

He's clearly unwell and spiraling downward. He's just going to make them lose more and more money.

Disney is one of the “safe” companies that clear the way for other companies to approve advertising- if Disney is there it must be ok. Apple too.

I'd like to say that he's lost the ability to discern the proper time and place for jokes but on further thought I don't think he ever had that ability in the first place.

He even does that thing that little kids do when they say something that unintentionally gets laughs - he looks stunned for a second, and then repeats the same thing with a little more theatrics hoping to illicit the same or better response.
