Elon Musk pushed back on advertisers boycotting X over antisemitism and other hate speech on the platform formerly known as Twitter during the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday.

I, too, prefer making other people the scapegoat to avoid letting myself feel any personal responsibility over my actions.
It’s like a rapist who ends up in jail and blames the victim with the rationale that “she was asking for it”.
