first of all, elon musk is very smart.o lie to you and tell you regular business activity is blackmail, he is playing a trick. he's hoping not the people in the room but everyone else will be fooled by that. blackmail is an actual thing. it is a legal concept, and it has a definition, and it doesn't refer to people deciding where to spend their money or where not to spend their money. it refers to illegally leveraging something over someone. that is not what these advertisers are doing. keep in mind, we didn't just show you this for the f bomb value. that room he's talking in is full of advertisers. he has a lot of investors he answers to by acting that way. there's also the issue while musk talked about free speech he's been cracking down on free speech on the platform. if you watch "the beat" we reported this out months ago when he was first taking over, and the point we made then is the same we'll make now. couldn't see the future. we could see the past. elon musk has no record of free speech advocacy. it was something

some say elon musk is like an unelected official.dous amount of power, whether it is with his starlink satellites in ukraine which are on the front lines of the war with russia, whether it is the ev charging stations across the country. remember, elon musk's company, tesla, controls 60% of the ev charging stations around the country. so the biden administration cannot push its green energy policies without working with elon musk. we cannot send astronauts from american soil to the international space station unless we work with spacex. so, the government has no choice but to play nice and to do business with this very mercurial, erratic business leader who is becoming increasingly unhinged by the day. some u.s. government officials say it is just too late. we wish we could've done something sooner, but this entrepreneur just has so many deep inroads into the federal government at this point. geoff: bobby allyn, thanks again. good to see you. bobby: thank you. ♪ amna: last year, artist simone leigh represented the u.s. at what is wide

has there been a shift since elon musk took over? >> democrats are leaving the platform. republicans have been joining the platform. now it's basically even in terms of the percentage of democrats and republicans who are regular users for twitter getting their news, but here's the thing i will point out, which is that fewer people are readily getting their news on twitter. right now if you compare where we are now compared to -- >> you want be to say something? >> i want to make one point. half democrat, half republican, that's a win, that's why i did it. has it hurt his bottom line? >> no, it hasn't hurt his bottom line. that's not where he makes most of his money in x or twitter. he makes it in tesla. the amount of money he has, he's now -- his net worth is $200 billion. that is up from $170 billion last year. >> so he'll look at this and say i'm richer. half democrat, half republican and he sees it possibly as a win? >> yeah. >> all right. thank you very much, harry. >> thank you. >>> next north kororea says it s put t a a spy y satellite e int. we'll l explain whwhy.

musk, you know about elon musk. a lawsuit against media matters a left wing site that was trying to use xagainst itself to prove that elon musk is an anti-semite based on false tweets do i have that right. >> what i have seen and looked at lawsuit two x filed against media matters, saying they engaged in fraud. really manipulating data. at the same time, you know elon musk and x have to work hard to make sure that there is no anti-semitism that is being promoted in their platform, and elon said strongly that he is committed to that. he is a personal friend. i -- >> you don't think he is anti-semitic, you never heard him? >> we -- built and collaborate on many ideas. i think he is one of our great entrepreneurs as well. i think media matters isin organization that you know is more on the kind of woke, left, side that is trying to really stop someone like elon musk. david: forgive me, we're running out of time, budget libottom line that i want to get rid of elon musk, x had fewer anti-semitic comments on it and items

with elon's 164 million he amplifies it. you are exactly correct.ti-semitism is not -- other crazy stuff might come up but not that. it doesn't seem like it is in his dna. did he know who he was re-tweeting? sometimes people are completely completely, they just hit the button. liz: what he said at a time, remember how much advertising he lost after the kanye west disaster where he said anti-semitic things and tweeted names that were very anti-jewish. in the end, not asking questions, lions gate, apple pooling their ads and this goes in the opposite direction of what elon is trying to do. liz: elon is very impulsive. i spoke with someone who simonetti xi dinner. he was -- didn't go to the dinner but to the reception. a lot of ceos and he was out of it. don't know what's going on with this guy. he was aloof, uncommunicative, didn't seem like himself, in retrospect what he did, trying to figure out in his head about that. this is very strange. not condoning it. it becomes a ceo board issue, not supposed to be tweeting that much, the settlement on the o

somehow elon, all said and done., hardly, heatedly denied the journal exam and content saying musk was exercising you, adl, because he thinks you've largely adopted the i dentarian of the progressive left. i've given you grief. throw your lot in with them and look what they give you? >> pushing back on white nationalism and great replacement theory is i dentary in politics -- >> do you think those 100 morons in charlottesville are the problem or the college professors totally brainwashed our children on the left with anti-semitism, where's the real problem? >> acknowledge that, like, shooting jews praying in the synagogue in pittsburgh, it's a problem. attacking, death threats against the cornell student of a problem. we can have problems from the extreme white, white nationalists and froms hard left and the crazed anti-zionists. both problems. right now be clear. we are -- >> 1,000-1. >> crowding these -- >> look, we have tracked almost 1,500 anti-semitic incidents in the 50 days since the massacre. that's a 30% inc

elon musk is a brand in and of himself.e public market and among public consumers. it will be interesting to see if those consumers start to act, if this time it's going to be different. >> it's a really good point on the private investors having opinions, although elon has been teflon when it comes to controversial statements i'm curious about the impact on x and what you're hearing. i did get some comments from an x executive saying that their logs, none of these ads ran adjacent to what they are claiming there are screen shots and so engineers are trying to figure out how that would have happened i would think it's a blow for linda yaccarino who was brought in to bring back advertisers and has touted the success with that and where it leaves that effort. >> it absolutely makes the ceo linda yaccarino's job so much harder it has already been such a challenge for her to operate when elon musk is making these loud, vocal comments on the platform so, she had a response she said when it comes to this platform, x has been extr

what is your take on elon musk.s have failed he brought us into the electric vehicle revolution and been able to make rocket ships, to get people to orbit and relay and and now with twitter what he is calling acts he is able to embed artificial intelligence as new a.i. i think he does great things. but he also can be impulsive and reckless as you see in the book. and i think it is good there is guardrail trying to keep him from having too much wildness invested in these things. i do think he has open up twitter to more free speech, that is always a balancing act. you don't want it to be too toxic. liz: you know what is interesting free speech here's toxic speech. if you have a government stepping in. what is interesting, you showed how elon musk literally goes into the factories to see what is making his equipment, his devices, his rockets. he wants to know about the equipment not just the end products. that was really cool. what you wrote about and how you explain that he has the a.i. platform, he said it snarky an

republicans have completely embraced elon musk.'ve seen him come to the hill and go to republican retreats like with former speaker kevin mccarthy and they've really embraced him and i think a lot of people are afraid of alienating that part of the voter base, the republican voter base that is very stringently for elon musk. a lot of the dis gussing things he's been saying on twitter. i think that's why ron desantis does not want to go after him, the same reason why they are careful when donald trump says inflammatory things because they don't want to blow that up politically. i think that's continuing to play out in the public view on twitter. >> well, i think that's very astute. we will just leave it there. >>> up next, it's that time of year again, millions of americans are traveling for thanksgiving and we're going to talk to transportation secretary pete buttigieg on what to expect ahead of the holiday. stay with us. in order for small businesses to thrive, they need to be smart, efficient, savvy. making the most of every oppo

>> i can't get in elon's head, but he does need the advertisers to fund x. what is really interesting, he is refusing to take any responsibility for why they left x. they are not blackmailing him. they are leaving x after they put up with quite a bit to be honest. but they are leaving x because he made this ecoanti-semitic endorsement and hate speech has been on the platform specifically because many of the decisions that elon musk made. he says this will kill the website, kill the platform because they can't survive without advertising money. it is their life blood. but then he does this. he could have wooed back advertisers yesterday, he could have said i'm responsible for that, i'm so sorry, you know, i want to assure you that i understand my actions led to this consequence, but i want you back on the platform. but instead, he tells them to go f themselves. apparently he doesn't really care about his $44 billion investment. >> have you heard anything from any of the advertisers like disney, have they responded at all? their response may be nothing and the

oliver, you have been covering elon musk and his coverage of twitter for a long time.s this feel different to you? >> this feels a lot different. it seems like there's an exodus if you will from this extreme rhetoric from elon musk endorsing this antisubmittic conspiracy theory. you are also seeing the separate report that came out this week in from watchdog mead yearts where it says dizzy fully apple were seeing their ads against neothnazi ads. so this confluence of events have really created an environment where advertisers don't want to touch this place with a ten foot pole. they want out. you are seeing on a friday night all these advertisers come out big brands that they really need saying they have enough, they're getting their advertisements off x. >> our friend posted a list of infamous antisemites, this isn't the first time we have seen elon musk post things like that, sam reply phi, because of who he is? >> i'm not sure he has gotten away with it to be honest. he has posted some of the most conspiratorial deranged theories on x and advertisers have been silen

it's typical of elon.hile, but then it proves, too, how much more nimble it can be. and he was able to put full-motion video on, able to put -- so that you can get monetized if you make videos and live streaming. twitter spaces is good. but also, everything about elon has rockets gone off and has rubble in its wake, and the rubble in its wake is that if you put far too more people on twitter and you open the aperture of free speech, you're going to have some toxic stuff. >> do you think elon is disappointed that he's not the hero of -- >> no, no, no. musk loves controversy. he loves drama. it's one of the themes of the book. everything was going great for him a year and a half ago. he had been "time's" person of the year, richest person, 33 rockets had gone up and landed, a million tesla's sold. he's like, no, i'm like playing a video game, i need more drama, i need the next level. i said, what are you going? he says, i'm going to buy twitter. so i think he loves this controversy and drama. >> and nobody's

>> right it's more that than elon. >> as compared with what elon said. >> it's baked in musk is going to say crazy stuff on the platform, that's kind of baked in and understood, even as x was able to court some advertisers back what this media matters report found out, and we'll get to the lawsuits or the threats of lawsuits in a second, this is after x came out with, i believe it was back in august, saying we partnered with this great group, they have this great technology that's going to ensure you, mr. advertiser, what just happened is not going to happen. meaning we have this technology to make sure that ads don't appear next to it. they failed on that promise. >> so, julia, what took the advertisers so long to figure out that their content, that their ads were being placed in proximity to knenazi or extremi rhetoric, and why aren't the people at the company that place these ads being called on this >> media matters came out with a report last week and i would call it almost a watchdog group that has publishedseveral reports about the failures of x to adequately police the platfor
