  Apology tour if you will that this had been said online, there was all
• 0:04
  of the criticism, there was advertisers leaving. We talked to Bob, I
• 0:08
  stop, you hope don't advertise? You don't want them to advertise. What
• 0:14
  do you mean if somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmailing
• 0:20
  with money for yourself, but go yourself? Is that clear? I hope
• 0:33
  it is. Hey, Bob here in the audience, Well, well let
• 0:37
  me ask you. Then that's how I feel. Don't advertise? How do
• 0:44
  you think that about the economics of X if part of the underlying model at
• 0:50
  least today, and maybe it needs to shift. Maybe the answer is it
• 0:53
  needs to shift away from advertising. If you believe that this is the one
• 0:58
  part of your business where you will be beholden to those who have this view,
• 1:04
  what do you do why? I understand that. But there's a reality
• 1:11
  too, right yes, no, no, I mean Yakarino's right here and
• 1:18
  she's got to sell advertiser absolutely so no, no, tell you so.
• 1:23
  No, Actually, what what this advertising boycott is is going to do.
• 1:26
  It's it's going to kill a company. And do you think that and the
• 1:34
  whole world? Well, no, that those advertisers kill the company, and
• 1:38
  we will document it in great detail. But there are those advertisers, I
• 1:42
  imagine, are going to say, they're going to say, we can kill
• 1:44
  the company. They're going to say to tell it to Earth. But they're
• 1:48
  going to say that. They're going to say, Elon that you killed the
• 1:51
  company because you said these things and that they were inappropriate things and that they
• 1:56
  didn't feel comfortable on the platform. Right, That's that's what they're going to
• 1:59
  say. And let's see how Earth responds to that something. Okay, then
• 2:04
  this goes back to we'll both make our cases, right, and we'll see
• 2:08
  what the outcome is. What are the economics of that for you? I
• 2:12
  mean, you have enormous resources, so you can actually keep this company going
• 2:15
  for a very long time. Would you keep it going for a long time
• 2:17
  if there was no advertising? I mean, if the company fails because of
• 2:22
  advertised boycott, it will fail because of an advertised boycott, and that will
• 2:27
  be what bankrupt of the company, and that's what everybody on Earth will know.
• 2:30
  But what do you think then of the Again, this goes back to
• 2:34
  the idea of trust. Though it will be gone, and it will be
• 2:36
  gone because of an advertised boycott. But you recognize that some of those people
• 2:40
  are going to say that they didn't feel comfortable on the platform, and I
• 2:45
  want I just wonder and ask you and think about that. First tell up
• 2:47
  to the judge. But the judge is going to be the judge is the public
