Elon Musk has once again made clear that he's not afraid to speak his mind.
The Tesla CEO, who recently made comments that were considered by many to be antisemitic, responded to advertisers during an explosive DealBook interview Nov. 30, where he told them to "go fuck yourself."

Musk also mentioned one of the advertisers by name: Bob Iger, Disney's CEO, by saying, “If somebody’s going to try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself. Go. Fuck. Yourself. Is that clear? Hey, Bob, if you’re in the audience, that’s how I feel.”
Iger has not replied in any way to Musk's callout. But that wasn't the end of it for Musk, who on Thursday took to X to take more shots at Iger, first with a meme he clearly made himself.

Less than an hour later, Musk shared a CNBC link to news reported on Dec. 6 that alleges that Facebook and Instagram enabled child abuse, commenting, "Why no advertiser boycott, Bob Eiger? You are endorsing this material!"

Elon's fan army was quick to take to the comments to agree with him, criticizing Iger and championing Musk for his "free speech."

If he’s not boycotting you then you’ve got a problem.
Musk also criticized the condition of Disney in a recent interview with the automotive engineer Sandy Munro on his show "Munro Live." Munro asked him what Founder Walt Disney would think of the company in its current state.
Musk replied: "I think Walt Disney's turning in his grave faster than a drill bit."
TheStreet has contacted Disney for comment.
