I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but I don't care where those comments are coming from. He's a 50-something year old man, he can grow the fuck up and take responsibility for what he says.

All he saying in this interview is that he simply does not care if his remarks are the reason advertisers want to leave, in essence drawing a boundary between the discourse on Twitter and advertiser presence. He is making a clear statement that Twitter will not change its policies to appease advertisers, even if it means running at a loss. I think it that is a perfectly reasonable thing to say, even if you don't agree with Musk's politics or X's policies.

- oneeyedpigeon 3y agoTurning Twitter into a niche, subscription-funded platform is a totally acceptable thing to want to do, but he should just come out and clearly say that is the aim. I bet the investors didn't think that was what was going to happen. It's the doublespeak that is a problem here: he appears to be saying both "I'm taking my ball and I don't care about any of you" and "you meanies won't play with me".
