BOOM, it's over. Elon Musk just doomed the site once known as Twitter

[Daily Kos: The Brief]( [Looks like Musk is ready to abandon Twitter, er, “X”]( Yesterday, Elon Musk [told his corporate advertisers](, and specifically Disney CEO Bob Iger, to “Go fuck yourself.” And after claiming he’d never let advertisers “blackmail” him (and clearly not understanding that word’s meaning), he admitted, “What this advertising boycott is going to do is, it’s going to kill the company.” Then he said he wouldn’t use his own money to bail out the company. As Daily Kos’ Mark Sumner [writes today](, “If the company should fail in the coming weeks, it will be one of the largest, most astounding, and most self-inflicted business failures in history.” (Click through on [that link]( for a joyride of Musk’s greatest hits.)
