Disney is facing fresh boycott calls after Elon Musk lashed out publicly at CEO Bob Iger, escalating criticism over Disney\'s decision to halt advertising on X (formerly Twitter). Hours after Elon Musk told companies to "go f themselves" for pulling their advertisements from X over concerns about antisemitism, he specifically called out Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger.

Elon Musk Tells Disney CEO Bob Iger to "Go F*ck Yourself"

Elon Musk has told the companies currently hosting an advertisement boycott on X, including Disney CEO Bob Iger, to "go f*ck themselves". The outburst came after Musk accused companies of attempting to "blackmail" him with advertising revenue. "If somebody\'s going to try and blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money...go f yourself," Musk said, directly addressing Bob Iger and Disney.

Why is Disney Facing Boycott Calls?

The current boycott threat stems from Musk\'s strong language directed at Iger and Disney, who, along with other companies, are no longer advertising on the platform X. Musk\'s comments have been widely criticized, leading to calls for consumers to boycott Disney in response.

The Antisemitism Concerns Fueling the X Advertising Boycott

Underlying the controversy is the issue of antisemitism. Companies, including Disney, initially pulled their advertising from X due to concerns about antisemitic content on the platform. Musk\'s reaction to this advertising boycott, particularly his public attack on Bob Iger, has only intensified the debate and fueled further calls to boycott Disney. The future of Disney\'s relationship with X and the potential impact of the boycott remain to be seen.
