Insider Paper Reports: In an interview with the New York Times’ Andrew Ross Sorkin, the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk, responded with “they’re trying to blackmail me with advertising, blackmailing me with money, go f–k yourself” directed at advertisers.

However, in that strong verbal attack against the blackmail attempts, Musk specifically mentioned Iger. “Hey Bob, if you are in the audience. That’s how I feel, don’t advertise,” he said. He added that users “already are,” boycotting Disney services.

Elon Musk’s remarks came amidst a growing controversy involving him. Major companies like Disney, IBM, and Apple paused advertising on Musk’s platform, X, formerly known as Twitter.

Musk’s response on an anti-Semitic comment led to this advertising crisis. In response to the advertisers pulling back, Musk conveyed a clear message through the interview.

Shortly after Elon Musk’s interview, thousands of users shared screenshots of their canceled Disney+ subscriptions. Beyond Disney+, users are also reporting cancellations of subscriptions to services like Paramount Plus and others.

“Canceled” and “#CancelDisney” are now trending on X.
