Jonathan Majors Assault Trial Driver Claims Grace Hit Actor In SUV
Big update from the Jonathan Majors assault trial ... the driver of the SUV in which Majors and Grace Jabbari were fighting, took the stand and testified he thought she hit the movie star.
Jonathan is accused of roughing up Grace in the back of their ride while trying to get his phone back after she believed she'd caught him texting another woman -- but the driver's testimony paints Grace as the aggressor, not the other way around.
Taking the stand Monday and speaking through an interpreter, the driver testified he kept his eyes on the road as Jonathan and Grace fought in the back of his Escalade back in March, telling the jury he "had a feeling the girl had hit the boy ... because of the way that she was fighting, and the sounds produced."
The driver also testified Grace demanded to see Jonathan's phone, saying ... "The girl became very angry." The driver also said, "He was not doing anything, she was doing it," and that Jonathan was "trying to get rid" of Grace.
It's an interesting twist in the trial ... last week, text messages between Jonathan and Grace were read aloud in court, including a September 2022 exchange where they seemingly referred to some sort of altercation in London.
In the text messages, Jonathan wrote ... "They will ask you questions, and as I don't think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something."
Jabbari then replied, "I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I'm going to give it one more day, but I can't sleep and I need some stronger pain killers. That's all: why would I tell them what really happened when it's clear I want to be with you."
The car service driver also testified Jonathan and Grace both left his car at one point, arguing outside on a street corner in Manhattan ... and said Majors was "pushing her back into the car to get rid of her."
Jonathan's legal team asked the driver if he found any blood in the car, and he testified he didn't.

Jonathan Majors Just Me, Myself & I After Trial Text Revelation
Jonathan Majors is gathering his thoughts after what you could argue was a rough week for him in court -- ending with some startling texts he once sent being read in front of the jury.
The embattled actor was spotted on a solo stroll through Manhattan Saturday, where he seemed to be on a coffee run -- as he ended up grabbing two and balanced them on his way back to wherever he was going.
Considering the eventful week, these pics are telling for many reasons -- for one, he's all by his lonesome ... this after his GF, Meagan Good, has come to every single court date of his -- including showing up the past several days during the trial -- and been right by his side.
No sign of her here though ... although, he could've been grabbing Joe for the two of them.
In any case, JM kept his little outing here stylish ... uniquely his style, that is. The dude was wearing a khaki peacoat -- which he eventually draped off his shoulders -- a white tee, black pants, shades and a matching golf cap. Like all his public appearances, he's dressed up.
Now, as for what might be on his mind ... well, a lot of things, we're sure -- including what's gonna happen to his career, regardless of what the jury ultimately decides in their verdict.
Fact is ... there's been some ugly revelations about him throughout the trial -- much of which came from Grace Jabbari's testimony about their relationship ... including claims he'd been verbally abusive to her in the past. Remember the whole Coretta Scott King thing?
Even more damning than just that, though, is what came to light Friday ... when text messages Majors had sent Jabbari back in September 2022 were read aloud in court.
They included exchanges between Majors and Jabbari, where the two of the appeared to refer to some sort of altercation in London ... with Majors writing at the time, "They will ask you questions, and as I don't think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something."
Jabbari replied, "I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I'm going to give it one more day, but I can't sleep and I need some stronger pain killers. That's all: why would I tell them what really happened when it's clear I want to be with you."
That coupled with the testimony she gave about other times he'd allegedly shown aggression around her have not landed well with the public (just check Twitter/X). Because so much of all these old alleged incidents have been allowed to be aired out in court, it feels like it almost doesn't matter if he's found guilty or not -- from our POV, anyway.
Of course, we'll see what the jury has to say about it all in the end -- and more importantly, what Disney wants to do in the aftermath. They're far and away his biggest employer right now, and there's a lot of money and work on the line depending on how things shake out.
Majors' trial continues next week, and we're expecting to hear from other key witnesses -- including the car service driver, who could presumably speak on the alleged incident in his vehicle and answer once and for all ... did the guy brutalize her back there or not???
In the meantime ... it's just Majors out here in these streets, patiently waiting.

Jonathan Majors Paseando solo... Después de las revelaciones de sus mensajes en el juicio
Jonathan Majors está dedicando tiempo a la reflexión después de lo que podría llamarse una semana difícil en la corte y que terminó con algunos textos sorprendentes que alguna vez envió a su exnovia y se leyeron ante el jurado.
El asediado actor fue visto paseando solo por Manhattan este sábado, donde se lo vio comprando dos cafés y se los llevó en su camino de regreso.
Teniendo en cuenta la acontecida semana que tuvo, estas fotos son reveladoras por muchas razones. Por un lado, está solo. Esto, después de que su novia Meagan Good, llegara a cada una de sus citas en la corte, incluyendo la aparición de los últimos días durante el juicio, para acompañarlo.
Pese a ello, no hay rastro de ella aquí. Aunque podría haber estado agarrando los cafés para los dos.
En cualquier caso, Jonathan Majors mantuvo su salida con estilo. El tipo llevaba un chaquetón de color caqui, una camiseta blanca, pantalones negros, gafas de sol y una gorra de golf a juego. Como en todas sus apariciones públicas, iba elegante.
Ahora, en cuanto a lo que podría estar en su mente. Bueno, pueden ser un montón de cosas, incluyendo lo que va a pasar con su carrera, independientemente de lo que el jurado decida finalmente en su veredicto.
La verdad es que han habido algunas revelaciones feas sobre el actor durante el juicio, gran parte de las cuales vinieron del testimonio de Grace Jabbari sobre su relación, entre ellas, que había sido verbalmente abusivo con ella en el pasado. ¿Recuerdan todo el asunto de Coretta Scott King?
Aún más condenatorio que eso, sin embargo, es lo que salió a la luz el viernes. Esto es los mensajes de texto que Majors le envió a Jabbari en septiembre de 2022 y que fueron leídos en voz alta en el tribunal.
Estos incluían intercambios entre Majors y Jabbari, donde los dos parecían referirse a algún tipo de altercado en Londres. Majors escribió en ese momento: "Te harán preguntas, y como no creo que nos protejas, podría dar lugar a una investigación, incluso si mientes y sospechan algo".
Jabbari respondió: "Le diré al médico que me golpeé la cabeza si voy. Voy a darle un día más, pero no puedo dormir y necesito analgésicos más fuertes. Eso es todo: para qué les voy a contar lo que pasó de verdad si está claro que quiero estar contigo".
Eso unido al testimonio que dio sobre otras ocasiones en las que supuestamente él fue agresivo con ella, no han sentado nada bien al público (no hay más que ver Twitter/X). Debido a que se ha permitido que todos estos supuestos incidentes se aireen en el tribunal, parece que casi no importa si se lo declara culpable o no, desde nuestro punto de vista.
Por supuesto, veremos lo que el jurado tiene que decir al final y, lo que es más importante, lo que Disney quiere hacer después. Ellos son de lejos su mayor empleador en este momento y hay un montón de dinero y trabajo en juego dependiendo de cómo resulten las cosas.
El juicio de Majors seguirá la semana que viene y estamos esperando escuchar a otros testigos clave, incluyendo al conductor del carro que estuvo con ellos esa noche, el que presumiblemente podría hablar sobre el presunto incidente en su vehículo y responder de una vez por todas, ¿el tipo fue agresivo con ella o no?
Mientras tanto, Majors está solo por las calles esperando pacientemente.
Brittney Griner Releasing Doc On Russia Drug Case ... Scripted Series On Life
Brittney Griner's story is getting the Mickey Mouse treatment -- the WNBA superstar just inked a deal with Disney, ESPN and ABC for multiple upcoming projects ... including a documentary about her Russian drug case.
"The last two years have been the most harrowing, transformative and illuminating period of my life, and I am grateful to be in a place now to share my story with the world," Griner said in a statement on Thursday.
"I’m proud to partner with ESPN and Disney to share this very personal story because of its incredible potential to inspire hope around the world and their proven ability to do just that."
The partnership also includes the development of a scripted limited series on Griner's life, which is said to already be "in the works."
Griner was arrested at a Russian airport in February 2022 for cannabis possession. She was sentenced to nine years in prison ... before the U.S. government made a deal to get her back in Dec. 2022 that involved Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
Since Griner's release, the center signed a one-year deal with the Phoenix Mercury -- averaging 17.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game last season -- and has become an advocate for Americans who have been detained in another country.
"Brittney is an exceptional athlete whose hardship and resilience are nothing short of extraordinary," ESPN president Burke Magnus said. "We are thrilled to be working with her to tell the nuances of her story and feel confident that this documentary will captivate audiences everywhere."
The documentary will feature previously unreleased footage, records and letters from Griner's time in prison.
The release date is to be determined.

JONATHAN MAJORS ACCUSER JABBARI FLED TO BDAY BASH AFTER FIGHT 'Didn't Want To Be Alone,' She Testifies
Jonathan Majors' ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, says she decided to attend a stranger's birthday bash instead of returning home to the apartment she shared with him ... after he allegedly struck her in a cab in March.
During sworn testimony before a jury in an NYC courtroom Tuesday, Jabbari claimed she made her escape from an SUV taking them over the Manhattan Bridge ... seeking refuge at a bar with strangers who came to her aid after the alleged physical altercation with the actor.
"I didn't want to be alone at that point," she told jurors ... elaborating, "I was just trying to suppress the sadness. I felt sad so deeply in my heart. But, I was also really grateful for these three people who had saved me."
She said she bought her 3 new friends a bottle of champagne as a thank you, and also danced.
She said she had "some shots of tequila" as well. She said she began icing her finger at the bar because she knew she'd wake up in considerable pain the next morning.
Video footage of the alleged cab incident was presented in the courtroom ... where Majors was observed getting out of the car and pushing Jabbari back in ... before she got out and chased him down the street.
According to Jabbari, the fight broke out after she saw a text from a woman named "Cleopatra" in the cab.
She claims that when she tried to take the phone, she experienced a "heavy thud" as he tried to take it back ... resulting in her finger and arm being twisted.
"He was trying to hurt me," she alleged. "Then I felt a hard blow across my head."
However, Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, contends the injuries were actually sustained by the "Creed" actor ... who was scared of Jabbari as he attempted to flee her as she chased him through the streets of Manhattan.
This comes after Jabbari detailed how she first met Majors, how they got involved, and at what point he allegedly began showing aggression around her.
So far, she's shared a recording of the actor allegedly blowing up at her during another incident when she came home tipsy -- and has also claimed he lost his cool after she brought up her ex's pooch.
Meanwhile, Majors' current GF, Meagan Good, has been throwing her full support behind him ... ensuring to be by his side while arriving at court.

Jonathan Majors Denunciante dice que huyó a una fiesta tras la pelea ... No quería estar sola
La exnovia de Jonathan Majors, Grace Jabbari, dice que decidió ir a la fiesta de cumpleaños de un extraño en lugar de volver al departamento que compartía con él. Todo esto, después de que supuestamente este la golpeara en un taxi en marzo.
Durante el testimonio bajo juramento ante un jurado en un tribunal de Nueva York el martes, Jabbari afirmó que se escapó de un SUV que los llevaba por el puente de Manhattan para buscar refugio en un bar con conocidos que fueron a ayudarla después del supuesto altercado físico con el actor.
"No quería estar sola en ese momento", le dijo a los miembros del jurado. "Yo solo estaba tratando de suprimir la tristeza. Me sentía muy triste en el fondo de mi corazón. Pero también estaba muy agradecida por estas tres personas que me salvaron".
Dijo que los invitó a una botella de champán en señal de agradecimiento y también bailó.
También se tomó "algunos chupitos de tequila". Dijo que empezó a ponerse hielo en el dedo en el bar porque sabía que se despertaría con un dolor considerable a la mañana siguiente.
Las imágenes de video del supuesto incidente del taxi se presentaron en la sala del tribunal. En ellas se ve a Majors saliendo del carro e instando a Jabbari a que entre de nuevo, luego ella sale y comienza a perseguirlo por la calle.
Según Jabbari, la pelea estalló después de que vio un mensaje de texto de una mujer llamada "Cleopatra" en el taxi.
Ella dice que cuando trató de tomar el teléfono, experimentó un "fuerte golpe" mientras él intentaba recuperarlo, lo que provocó una torcedura en su brazo y en su dedo.
"Él estaba tratando de hacerme daño", alegó. "Entonces sentí un fuerte golpe en la cabeza"
Sin embargo, la abogada de Majors, Priya Chaudhry, sostiene que el actor de "Creed" fue quien sufrió las lesiones. Asegura que el actor se asustó y por eso intentó huir mientras ella lo perseguía por las calles de Manhattan.
Todo esto ocurre después de que Jabbari detallara cómo conoció a Majors y en qué momento él supuestamente comenzó a mostrarse agresivo.
Hasta ahora, Jabbari ha compartido una grabación del actor donde aparentemente se lo ve explotando de rabia una vez que ella llegó borracha a casa. También ha afirmado que Majors perdió la calma cuando le mencionó algo sobre el perro de su ex.
Mientras tanto, la actual novia de Majors, Meagan Good, ha estado expresando todo su apoyo al actor, asegurándose de estar a su lado cuando llegan a la corte.
La mujer que acusa a Jonathan Majors dice que enloqueció por el perro de su ex
Jonathan Majors perdió la calma cuando su acusadora Grace Jabbari mencionó el perro de su ex novio, al menos según su testimonio en el juicio por agresión de Majors.
Jabbari —que voló desde Londres para subir al estrado en un tribunal de Nueva York— habló ante el jurado bajo juramento el martes y describió cómo lo conoció, cómo se involucraron, y en qué momento supuestamente comenzó a mostrar agresividad a su alrededor.
Recuerdemos que los fiscales le dijeron a los miembros del jurado el lunes durante las declaraciones de apertura, que lo que supuestamente sucedió entre ellos en marzo fue en realidad solo el punto de ebullición de lo que afirman se había convertido en una relación controladora y abusiva, algo que Jabbari testificó en el estrado.
Jabbari dijo que conoció a Majors en el set de "Ant-Man y la Avispa: Quantumania", donde fue contratada como entrenadora de movimiento y explicó que su relación se volvió seria rápidamente. Sin embargo, en un momento dado en diciembre de 2021, ella testificó que vio los primeros destellos de ira de él cuando ella afirma que él perdió el control luego de que ella mencionó al perro de su ex.
Jabbari dice que en realidad estaba conociendo a los perros de Majors en ese momento, y él le estaba dando instrucciones sobre cómo comportarse con ellos a lo que ella respondió que ya estaba familiarizada con los perros a causa de su ex novio, que tenía uno. Fue entonces cuando, según ella, Jonathan perdió la calma y empezó a levantar la voz, aparentemente enfadado porque ella había sacado el tema.
En el tribunal, ella es citada diciendo: "¿Cómo me atrevo a mencionarlo?" y "Es vergonzoso que haya salido con él. Su perro es patético. Ese tipo de cosas". Ella también dijo que esta fue la primera vez que tuvo miedo de él y testificó que las cosas solo empeoraron a partir de ahí.
Jabbari pasó a describir otros supuestos casos en los que Majors perdió los estribos, testificando que una vez lanzó una vela en su dirección y abolló su pared y que supuestamente una vez golpeó sus auriculares, entre otros supuestos momentos violentos.
Ella también se detuvo y lloró mucho durante su testimonio. En este punto, no suena como que ella estuviera describiendo el presunto asalto, aunque los fiscales ya hablaron por ella el lunes, cuando alegaron que la tiró alrededor como una muñeca de trapo en el carro después de que ella vio un texto que ella pensaba provenía de una mujer, algo que él ha negado.
Meagan Good estaba de vuelta en la corte mirando como Majors se sentó en la mesa del acusado durante el testimonio de Jabbari. Según los informes, no miró a Jabbari mientras ella estaba en el estrado.
Jonathan Majors Accuser Grace Jabbari Testifies He Flipped Out Over Ex's Dog
update
1:35 PM PT -- Grace Jabbari also shared a recording allegedly of Jonathan Majors blowing up at her during another incident when she came home tipsy after going out with friends.
In the recording, jurors heard Majors yelling at Jabbari, telling her she needed to be more like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama -- and that she had moved away from "the plan." In the recording, Majors exclaimed, "I'm a great man. A great man! There needs to be a great woman who makes sacrifices."
Jonathan Majors once lost his cool when his accuser Grace Jabbari mentioned her ex-boyfriend's dog -- at least according to her testimony in Majors' assault trial.
Jabbari -- who flew in from London to take the stand in an NYC courtroom -- spoke to the jury under oath Tuesday, and described how she first met him, how they got involved, and at what point he allegedly started to show aggression around her.
Remember, prosecutors told jurors Monday during opening statements that what allegedly happened between them in March was actually just the boiling point of what they claim had become a controlling and abusive relationship ... something Jabbari testified to on the stand.
Jabbari said she met Majors on the set of 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' -- where she was hired as a movement coach -- and explained that their relationship got serious quickly. However, at one point in December 2021 ... she testified she saw the first flashes of anger from him when she claims he flipped his lid after she brought up her ex's pooch.
Jabbari says she was actually meeting Majors' own dogs at the time, and he was giving her instructions on how to behave around them -- to which she replied that she was already familiar with dogs on account of her ex-boyfriend, who had one. That's when she alleges JM lost his cool and started to raise his voice at her ... apparently angry she'd brought it up.
In court, she's quoted as saying ... "How dare I mention him" and "It's embarrassing to him that I dated him. His dog is pathetic. That kind of stuff." She also said this was the first time she ever became afraid of him ... and she testified things only got worse from there.
Jabbari went on to describe other alleged instances where Majors lost his temper -- testifying he once threw a candle in her direction and dented her wall ... and that he allegedly once knocked her headphones off her head, among other alleged moments of berating.
She also stopped and cried a lot during her testimony. At this point, it doesn't sound like she's gotten around to describing the alleged assault in question -- although prosecutors already alluded to it Monday, when they alleged he threw her around like a rag doll in the car after she saw a text from what she thought was a woman ... something he's denied.
Meagan Good was back in court looking on as Majors sat at the defendant's table during Jabbari's testimony. He reportedly did not look at Jabbari while she was on the stand.

Nick Cannon gasta al menos 200.000 dólares al año en Disneylandia
Nick Cannon dice que le da a Disney un poco menos de un cuarto de millón de dólares de su propio dinero duramente ganado cada año y todo es para hacer felices a sus hijos.
El artista hizo la revelación a principios de esta semana en "The Breakfast Club", donde le dijo a Charlamagne tha God y compañía que probablemente gasta al menos $200.000 al año en Disneylandia.
Dice que va al parque una vez al mes (si no más), y entre los 12 niños diferentes que comparte con todas sus ex novias, es imposible que la cosa salaga barata.
Nick dice que Disneyland no es lo que solía ser en términos de precio, algo que muchas familias ordinarias han descubierto últimamente y con el fin de que él y sus seres queridos tengan la mejor experiencia, está gastando una fortuna, pero dice que está feliz de hacerlo.
Ahora, Nick dice que le encantaría conseguir su antiguo descuento de empleado, teniendo en cuenta la frecuencia con la que asiste y la cantidad de dinero que lanza gasta cada vez, pero algo nos dice que no va a suceder. Con los problemas financieros de Disney últimamente, necesitan todo el dinero posible.
Por suerte para Nick, parece que puede permitirse estos caros viajes a Disney, por no hablar de todo lo demás que hace por su familia, que no para de crecer. El tipo trabaja duro y gasta mucho.
Sin embargo, solo sirve para demostrar que todo está caro últimamente.
Nick Cannon Spends $200k/Year at Disneyland ... Fatherhood Ain't Cheap!!!
Nick Cannon says he gives Disney just a smidge less than a quarter of a million dollars of his own hard-earned cash each year -- and it's all to make his many children happy.
The multi-hyphenate entertainer made the shocking revelation earlier this week on 'The Breakfast Club,' where he told Charlamagne tha God and co. he likely spends at least $200,000 annually at Disneyland.
You can watch NC's explanation for yourself ... he says he's at the park once a month (if not more) -- and between the 12 different kids he shares with all his baby mamas, he's spending bank.
Nick says Disneyland ain't what it used to be in terms of price point -- something many ordinary families have discovered lately -- and in order for him and his loved ones to have the best experience ... he's spending an absolute fortune, which he says he's happy to do.
Now, Nick does say he'd love to get his old employee discount enacted considering how often he's there and how much dough he throws their way -- but something tells us that isn't gonna happen. With Disney's financial woes lately, they need every buck possible.
Luckily for Nick, it sounds like he can afford these pricey Disney trips ... not to mention everything else he does for his ever-growing family. The dude works hard, and spends hard.
Still, it just goes to show ... things sure are expensive these days, especially Disneyland.

El Iron Man de Robert Downey Jr. no volverá a las películas de Marvel
El tiempo de Robert Downey Jr. en el MCU ha llegado a su fin, porque el jefe del estudio acaba de confirmar que su personaje está muerto y no va a volver.
El actor apareció en un nuevo artículo de Vanity Fair y entrevistaron al jefe de Marvel Kevin Feige para hablar de la etapa de Robert como Iron Man, incluso lo que condujo a ella y cómo terminó, es decir, con su personaje siendo asesinado en "Endgame".
Fue un gran momento para la franquicia Marvel y se ha especulado mucho sobre si Feige y compañía intentarían revivir al personaje de Downey en futuras entregas, a través de universos alternativos, etc. Bueno, eso no va a pasar, porque KF dice que Tony Stark se ha ido para siempre.
Sobre la marcha del actor, Feige explica: "Vamos a conservar ese momento y no volveremos a tocarlo. Todos hemos trabajado muy duro durante muchos años para llegar a eso y nunca querríamos deshacerlo mágicamente de ninguna manera".
El director de "Endgame", Joe Russo, confirmó que Downey no volvería a ponerse el traje y añadió: "Ya nos habíamos despedido con lágrimas en los ojos el último día de rodaje. Todo el mundo había pasado página emocionalmente. Le prometimos que sería la última vez que le obligaríamos a hacerlo... nunca".
La forma en que los cineastas lo describen, es casi como si Downey estuviera por encima de Marvel, lo que tiene sentido, el tipo ha estado en la franquicia desde 2008, cuando arrancó las cosas en "Iron Man".
Hablando de eso... Feige dice que los jefes de estudio en el momento eran reacios a contratar Robert en primer lugar debido a su pasado tumultuoso, pero una vez que vieron sus pruebas de pantalla y cintas de audición, sabían que tenían a su hombre... resultó que apostaron por el hombre adecuado para el trabajo.
El hecho de que Downey se haya quedado fuera de las futuras entregas del MCU probablemente sea un fastidio para los fans más acérrimos, ya que se podría decir que Marvel ha caído por un precipicio desde que Downey se fue. Acostúmbrense. 🤷🏽♂️
Robert Downey Jr. His Iron Man Ain't Coming Back ... Stark's Dead, Feige Says
Robert Downey Jr.'s time in the MCU has come and gone -- 'cause the head honcho of the studio just confirmed his character is dead-dead and ain't coming back ... period.
The actor was profiled in a new Vanity Fair piece, and they interviewed Marvel chief Kevin Feige to talk RDJ's time as Iron Man ... including what led up to it, and how it ended -- namely, with his character being killed off in 'Endgame.'
It was a huge moment for the Marvel franchise ... and there's been a lot of speculation Feige and co. would attempt to revive Downey's character in future installments, via alternate universes, etc. Welp, that ain't happening -- 'cause KF says Tony Stark's forever gone.
Of RDJ's departure, Feige explains ... "We are going to keep that moment and not touch that moment again. We all worked very hard for many years to get to that, and we would never want to magically undo it in any way."
'Endgame' director Joe Russo confirmed Downey wouldn't don the suit again ... adding, "We’d already said tearful goodbyes on the last day of shooting. Everybody had moved on emotionally. We promised him it would be the last time we made him do it -- ever."
The way the filmmakers describe it, it's almost like Downey is over Marvel -- which makes sense ... dude's been in the franchise since 2008, when he kicked things off in "Iron Man."
Speaking of that ... Feige says the studio heads at the time were reluctant to cast RDJ at first because of his tumultuous past -- but once they saw his screen tests and audition tapes, they knew they had their man. As it turned out, they bet on the right guy for the job.
Downey being counted out of future MCU installments is probably a bummer for hardcore fans -- you could argue Marvel's fallen off a cliff since Downey left. Get used to it, y'all. 🤷🏽♂️

Elon Musk Rips Iger, X Advertisers ... 'Go F*** Yourself!!!'
Elon Musk has a message for Disney CEO Bob Iger and all the other advertisers fleeing his social media platform -- don't let the door hit ya on the way out, and go screw yourselves while you're at it.
The owner of X was talking shop on CNBC -- on the heels of his recent Israel visit, and in the wake of antisemitism allegations -- and he fired away about the exodus of corporations cutting ties with him.
Check it out ... he says he actually hopes they stop advertising permanently, and then dropped a very clear "Go f*** yourself" proclamation to everybody who's jumping ship.
Elon Musk Sees 'Truth' in Antisemitic Tweet About Jews Hating Whites
You can tell the host was shocked by Elon's choice words -- especially while live on the air -- so, naturally, EM said it again, and then asked if he'd made himself clear. He certainly had!
Elon explained that he feels like he's being blackmailed by these companies with the hope of paying for ads, and emphasized he wouldn't sacrifice his free speech policies for monetary gain ... even if, apparently, it means hurting his bottom line.
Funny enough, Elon singled out Iger in his remarks here, playfully calling out "Bob" as someone who was probably watching in the audience. Indeed, Disney was one of the major companies to pause its advertising with X ... as did many others.
Iger actually addressed that today as well -- before Elon's snipe -- and said, "We know that Elon is larger than life in many respects, and that his name is very much connected to the companies he founded or owns. By him taking the position he took in a public manner, we felt that the association was not necessarily a positive one for us."
Seems like the relationship's getting worse, not better.

Jonathan Majors Assault Trial Begins ... Judge to Weigh Unsealing Docs
update
9:30 AM PT -- Unsurprisingly, Jonathan Majors arrived to court with Meagan Good by his side ... we've seen the two together a lot as of late, including Tuesday when they grabbed food together in NYC.
Jonathan Majors is finally going to trial for allegedly roughing up his ex ... and we might even hear about past allegations involving other women, if the judge allows it.
The actor's set to appear in court Wednesday in NYC, where the trial is scheduled to finally begin ... this after several delays. Remember, Majors was arrested and ultimately charged back in the Spring with misdemeanor assault and harassment.
His former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, claimed they got into an argument in March, and he got physical with her in a car, which she says left her with injuries.
Of course, Majors has denied that from the beginning ... insisting it was him who got hurt in the spat -- which, several months later, resulted in Jabbari getting arrested by the NYPD ... although the D.A.'s office refused to prosecute her, maintaining she's the alleged victim here.
There's been a lot of info, photos and videos that have leaked out over the past several months leading up to the trial ... much of which, Majors' camp claims, depicts Jabbari, after the alleged attack, having a night out on the town and seemingly looking uninjured.
Another twist in this case is the fact a police report taken in London -- 6 months prior to whatever happened between Majors and Jabbari -- was entered into the court docket by prosecutors ... although it's remained under seal up until now.
Media outlets have filed motions in the case to have it unearthed, publicly, and a judge is expected to weigh that motion Wednesday before court proceedings kick off in Majors' trial.
It's unclear who the other party is in that London report ... but there have been rumors of other alleged possible incidents Majors might have been involved in before his March arrest.
Another element of this saga is what Majors has been up to in his personal life as this whole thing has been playing out -- namely, him starting a relationship with actress Meagan Good, which seems to have come out of nowhere ... but continues to go strong.
Good -- who hasn't addressed how she got involved with Majors, or any other details about why she's backing him -- has appeared alongside JM in a couple different high-profile court appearances ... and the two of them have been spotted in public all over the world too.
In fact, they were seen looking incredibly loving and cozy on Tuesday, cuddled up on the streets of NYC and putting on a united front.
Professionally, Major's career has been thrown into limbo -- he's lost film and TV opportunities since being accused by Jabbari, but he's been able to keep his Marvel job (for now) as Disney seems to be taking a wait-and-see approach to their leading man.
Other completed films of his have been put on pause ... so there's a lot hanging in the balance here for him. Now, we'll get to see what prosecutors believe they have against him in terms of evidence -- and more importantly, a jury's gonna be able to hear it as well.

Jonathan Majors Comienza el juicio por agresión... El juez sopesará desenterrar documentos
Jonathan Majors finalmente está yendo a juicio por supuestamente maltratar a su ex y es posible que incluso escuchemos algunas de las acusaciones anteriores, que involucran a otras mujeres, si el juez lo permite.
Está programado que el actor comparezca ante el tribunal de Nueva York el miércoles, donde se dará inicio al juicio después de varios retrasos. Recuerden Majors fue arrestado y finalmente acusado en la primavera por delitos menores de asalto y acoso.
Su exnovia, Grace Jabbari, afirmó que tuvieron una discusión en marzo y que él se puso agresivo con ella en un carro. Ella dice que la dejó con lesiones en ese incidente.
Por supuesto, Majors lo ha negado desde un comienzo y ha insistido en que fue él quien resultó herido de la pelea. Varios meses después, esto dio lugar a que Jabbari fuera arrestada por la policía de Nueva York, aunque la oficina del fiscal se negó a procesarla, afirmando que ella era la presunta víctima aquí.
Ha habido un montón de información, fotos y videos que se han filtrado en los meses previos al juicio, gran parte de los cuales, dice el equipo de Majors, muestran a Jabbari, después del presunto ataque, pasándolo bien en la ciudad y aparentemente sin lesiones.
Otro giro en este caso es el hecho de que un informe policial de Londres, de al menos seis meses anterior a lo que pasó entre Majors y Jabbari, fue introducido en el expediente judicial por los fiscales, aunque ha permanecido bajo sello hasta ahora.
Los medios de comunicación han presentado mociones en el caso para que sea desenterrado públicamente y se espera que un juez sopese esa moción el miércoles antes de los procedimientos judiciales que se inician en el juicio de Majors.
No está claro quién es la otra parte en el reporte de Londres, pero ha habido rumores de otros posibles incidentes antes de su detención en marzo.
Otro elemento de esta saga es lo que ha estado haciendo Majors en su vida personal mientras todo esto ocurre. Comenzó, por ejemplo, una relación con la actriz Meagan Good, que parece haber salido de la nada, pero sigue muy en serio.
Good, quien no ha abordado la forma en que se involucró con Majors o cualquier otro detalle acerca de por qué lo apoya, ha aparecido junto a Majors en diferentes momentos de alto perfil en la corte, y los dos han sido vistos en público en todo el mundo también.
De hecho, el martes se los vio increíblemente cariñosos, acurrucados por las calles de Nueva York y mostrándose muy unidos.
Profesionalmente, la carrera de Major ha sido arrojada al limbo. El actor ha perdido oportunidades en cine y televisión desde que fue acusado por Jabbari, pero ha sido capaz de mantener su trabajo en Marvel (por ahora), ya que Disney parece estar tomando la estrategia de esperar a ver qué pasa con su protagonista.
Otras películas suyas se han puesto en pausa, así que hay muchas cosas que penden de un hilo para él. Ahora, vamos a ver lo que los fiscales creen que tienen en su contra en términos de evidencia, y lo más importante, un jurado va a poder escuchar también.
