Elon Musk pushed back on advertisers boycotting X over antisemitism and other hate speech on the platform formerly known as Twitter during the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday.

What he’s saying: “If somebody’s gonna try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f**k yourself.” Musk said. “Don’t advertise.”

    Are you talking about media reports or actual humans?

    I have yet to hear a person call it meta or anyone use that term online.

    fb, insta is all that I see and hear from people.

      Media reports help as they influence and are influenced by larger numbers of people. When a media outlet no longer feels it necessary to specify to their readers that meta was formerly known as Facebook, that is an indicator of wider acceptance. Local anecdotes are less useful. Your friends and acquaintances don’t say meta. Mine do. That doesn’t really say anything about broader trends.

      People I know who work there refer to their employer as Meta. And I laugh at them every single time. I guess they get into the habit at the office? Lol.
