Elon Musk’s Bold Message to Corporate Overlords
Elon Musk’s Bold Stand Against Corporate Censorship
By now, you’ve probably seen the electrifying footage of Elon Musk’s remarks at the New York Times DealBook Summit. This annual gathering of business leaders is usually filled with carefully crafted language and brand-safe conversations. But this year, Musk’s interview with CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin took an unexpected turn.
“This is one of the most extraordinary 5-minute clips I’ve ever seen on this app. An epoch-making exchange.” – Joel Berry
In that moment, Musk fearlessly told Disney CEO Bob Iger, as well as all the other corporate advertisers boycotting X, to go to hell. This unprecedented act of defiance shook the business world to its core. It’s not every day that a major CEO stands up to powerful corporations, especially when their entire business model is at stake.
The Media’s Outrage
What’s even more fascinating than Musk’s remarks is the reaction from the corporate news media. Despite not being the target of Musk’s message, they couldn’t contain their disdain. One after another, media outlets unleashed a barrage of disparaging comments towards Musk.
Take, for example, NBC News accusing Musk of hating Jewish people, or KTLA suggesting that he would steal customers’ credit card numbers. This relentless and demented coverage from every corporate media outlet only proves Musk’s point.
The Conflict of Interest
What’s truly astonishing is the media’s failure to disclose their own conflicts of interest. ABC News, for instance, conveniently forgot to mention that their parent company, The Walt Disney Company, had suspended its ads on Twitter. They were too busy urging their audience to abandon the platform and begging the White House to do the same.
This blatant dishonesty extends to the media’s silence about Media Matters’ smear campaign against X. They conveniently omit Musk’s lawsuit against Media Matters for misleading X’s advertisers. The media’s selective reporting and manipulation of facts only serve to protect their corporate overlords.
Musk’s Stand Against Corporate Censors
Musk’s bold declaration of war against corporate censors at the DealBook Summit was not only cathartic, but it also exposed the journalists and news organizations that are beholden to these censors. Their attempts to discredit Musk and undermine his credibility only highlight their own subservience to corporate interests.
Elon Musk’s stand against corporate censorship is a wake-up call for the media and a rallying cry for those who value free speech and independent thought.
Elon Musk Takes a Stand Against Corporate Censorship
Meanwhile, they’re running endless advertisements for Big Pharma. And yet, despite that, you’re supposed to trust them when they report on Ozempic, or the tenth version of the COVID booster. You’re also supposed to blindly trust their “experts on disinformation,” whom they’ve hired directly from the FBI and the CIA. These are people who have lied to your face for years, about everything from Russiagate to the pandemic. And now they’re trying to destroy Musk for one tweet — out of tens of thousands of tweets — that he clarified almost immediately. (He also apologized at the DealBook Summit for his remarks being poorly worded, not that any of these ghouls care about that, and not that he owed any kind of apology at all.)
The truth is, they were never upset about what Musk said about the ADL and other Left-wing groups like it. They’re not even really pretending he’s “antisemitic” anymore. They seem to recognize that would be an odd charge to make, after Israel’s prime minister rolled out the welcome mat for Musk the other day. So now they’re back to old-fashioned mafia tactics. They’re not hiding the fact that they despise him for exposing how corporate control of the media works. That’s why they’re smearing him as someone who’s going to steal your credit card. It’s why they’re smirking about some random mayor in Europe leaving X, as if that matters. Their tactics are getting desperate and obvious.
A little while ago, I told you that I would play some more of Musk’s remarks. This is the part of his comments that didn’t get as much play on social media, but it’s just as important as what he told Bob Iger and the other advertisers. Watch:
MUSK: “The judge is the public.”
SORKIN: “And you think that the public is going to say that Disney is making a mistake?”
MUSK: “Yes.”
SORKIN: “And they’re going to boycott Disney?”
MUSK: “They already are.”@elonmusk pic.twitter.com/3LDxuk8wDC

That’s not a moment that the major media outlets are going to play on loop. They’re going to fixate on the big f-bomb, and try to portray Musk as some kind of unhinged lunatic. But this part of Musk’s conversation with Sorkin was just as important, if not more important, than what he told Bob Iger.
Disney does not create anything of value, in fact they create negative value. More people than ever recognize that now. At the very same DealBook Summit where Musk spoke, Bob Iger made that very clear. As if to prove that point, here’s a CNN headline summarizing what Iger said: “Disney CEO Bob Iger says ‘No. 1 priority’ is turning around Marvel, acknowledges ‘too many sequels’ after box office misses.”
That’s Disney’s top priority. They’re going to work on cranking out more Marvel movies, flooded with Left-wing propaganda, that no one will watch. They’re not attempting to launch rocket ships to Mars. They’re entirely focused on Marvel films, and putting as much gay propaganda in children’s content as possible. And people are rejecting it. The movies are bombing. Disney Plus recently lost more than 10 million subscribers.
By contrast, Musk is accomplishing things that help humanity, they’re not. They’re doing the exact opposite. And those are the people Musk can’t stand. They’re the people we shouldn’t tolerate either.
What Musk did yesterday was to declare war against the executives responsible for debasing our culture and force-feeding us a stream of lobotomized garbage, while they play the role of censor. He made the simple and obvious point that a CEO who’s fixated on Marvel movies should not be in charge of free speech in this country. Entertainment executives shouldn’t be telling everyone else what “hate speech” is, or demanding censorship. No corporate CEO should have that power. They should be worried about their own products. That’s it. They shouldn’t spend a second thinking about what you can say online.
But for a very long time now, CEO’s have had the power to censor you. They simply apply pressure to media organizations and social media companies, and they get what they want. They use coercion and blackmail to effectively destroy the First Amendment. And they can always claim that it has nothing to do with the First Amendment, because these are “private companies” imposing these speech restrictions.
The truth is that the distinction between the corporate world and the government has become increasingly irrelevant. The Democrats use corporations to impose speech restrictions that they could not impose legislatively.
But Musk has just challenged this whole regime, as explicitly as he possibly could. And now, as he said, the chips will fall. If people don’t want free speech — if they want the Marvel guy to tell them what to think — then free speech will die. X will collapse, and shortly afterwards, so will your ability to say what you think on the Internet.
This is preventable, but it takes some work. It takes people standing up and saying what they know is true, regardless of the personal cost they might face. And that’s been happening more and more. It’s happened with the gender debate. It’s happened with Target selling satanic merchandise to children. It’s happened with affirmative action, which is now broadly unpopular in this country. It’s happened with Ukraine funding, too. Now, as Musk said, people need to turn on the corporate censors who have silenced them for so long.
These companies need to suffer real consequences for what they tried to do here. For that to happen, Americans need to do what Elon Musk did.
Last Night’s Epic Rant: Telling Overlords to Buzz Off!
And let me make this crystal clear to all those wannabe overlords out there: they can kindly go screw themselves!
How has the pressure from organizations and social media platforms impacted free speech and the expression of alternative viewpoints?
Anizations and social media platforms, threatening to withdraw advertising or funding if they don’t comply with their demands. This has led to a chilling effect on free speech and the suppression of alternative viewpoints.
Musk’s call to boycott Disney and other corporations that engage in censorship is a bold and necessary stand against this pervasive control over our public discourse. By refusing to be silenced and speaking out against corporate interference, Musk is paving the way for a new era of free expression and independent thought.
The Need for a Transparent and Fair Media
In today’s media landscape, where bias and corporate influence are rampant, it is crucial that we have a transparent and fair media. Journalists and news organizations should be held accountable for their reporting and should disclose any conflicts of interest that may compromise their integrity.
Musk’s bold stand against corporate censorship highlights the need for a media that is independent and dedicated to truth and accuracy. It is time to ask ourselves: Are we willing to let corporate interests dictate what information we have access to? Or do we believe in the importance of free speech and a diverse range of voices?
Ultimately, Musk’s actions serve as a wake-up call for us to reevaluate the power dynamics between corporations, the media, and the public. It is up to us to demand transparency, accountability, and fair reporting. Only then can we ensure that our society values and upholds the principles of free speech and independent thought.
Conclusion
Elon Musk’s bold stand against corporate censorship is a defining moment in our fight for freedom of expression. By fearlessly challenging powerful corporations and demanding transparency, Musk is redefining the role of a CEO in the modern era. His actions have sparked a much-needed conversation about the influence of corporate interests on our public discourse and the need for a media that is independent and unbiased.
As individuals, it is our responsibility to support and amplify Musk’s message. We must stand up against censorship and demand a media that is accountable and committed to the fundamental principles of free expression. Only then can we create a society in which diverse viewpoints are celebrated and true progress can be achieved.
