but people like the ceo of disney, bob iger, who elon musk waved out and said hey, bob, specifically,dy who had pulled his advertising off the platform. so you're obviously right. but the lifeblood of x, formerly twitter, is advertising. 90% of their revenue comes from that. and what's really weird about this stuff is the way in which, if you look at the other five companies that elon musk runs, those companies in fact are quite protein in their business models. they do a great job. tesla turned a profit of more than 20 billion dollars last year. they're doing great. but every time he misbehaves in this very public way around access it's launches over into the other companies. so one example is he's in israel earlier this week seemingly there to apologize for his time, for promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories on x and all this thing. earlier, he had offered gaza the possibility of connecting to the internet in spite of the israeli blackout through starlink, the company he owns. well this time, he goes there, he gives this tour with netanyahu, we meet with president herzog. and th
