Elon Musk tiene un mensaje para el CEO de Disney, Bob Iger, y todos los demás anunciantes que huyen de su plataforma de medios sociales: "No dejes que la puerta te golpee en la salida y vete a la mierda".

El propietario de X habló en la CNBC tras su reciente visita a Israel y a raíz de las acusaciones de antisemitismo disparó sobre el éxodo de las empresas que cortan lazos con él.

Échale un vistazo... dice que espera que dejen de hacer publicidad de forma permanente y luego dejó caer una muy clara "Vete a la mierda" proclamación a todo el mundo que está saltando del barco.

Se puede decir que el presentador se sorprendió por las palabras de Elon - especialmente en directo - por lo que, naturalmente, EM lo dijo de nuevo, y luego le preguntó si había sido claro. Desde luego que sí.

Elon explicó que se siente como si estuviera siendo chantajeado por estas empresas con la esperanza de pagar por los anuncios, e hizo hincapié en que no iba a sacrificar sus políticas de libertad de expresión para la ganancia monetaria ... incluso si, al parecer, significa perjudicar a su línea de fondo.

Curiosamente, Elon señaló a Iger en sus comentarios aquí, llamando juguetonamente a "Bob" como alguien que probablemente estaba viendo en la audiencia. De hecho, Disney fue una de las principales empresas que puso en pausa su publicidad con X... al igual que muchas otras.

Iger también se ha referido a ello hoy, antes del ataque de Elon, y ha dicho: "Sabemos que Elon es más grande que la vida en muchos aspectos, y que su nombre está muy relacionado con las empresas que ha fundado o de las que es propietario. Al adoptar la postura que adoptó de forma pública, sentimos que la asociación no era necesariamente positiva para nosotros."

Chicago Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson addressed the wild rumors surrounding Corey Perry shortly after he was kicked off the team ... saying the winger's contract termination had nothing to do with superstar Connor Bedard's mother.

Perry was placed on unconditional waivers following an internal investigation on Tuesday ... in which the team determined he "engaged in conduct that is unacceptable" and violated the terms of his contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies.

The move came on the heels of speculation Perry was involved in a personal relationship with Bedard's mom, Melanie ... and while the talk didn't hold much weight, many ran with it on social media.

Davidson cleared the air after the team washed its hands of Perry ... and even though he did not mention Bedard by name, it's clear that's what he was addressing.

"This does not involve any players or their families and anything that suggests otherwise or anyone that suggests otherwise is wildly inaccurate and, frankly, it's disgusting," Davidson said.

"This has been a tough situation and I understand you wanted answers. It was important that we took all the necessary steps before sharing more. I hope you understand that I may not be able to answer everything today, but I am going to be as open and honest as I can be given the situation and out of respect for those involved."

Davidson referred to the nature of Perry's violation as a "workplace matter."

Elon Musk is in Israel right now and seeing the destruction left behind by Hamas with his own two eyes -- and it seems like he's doing this to combat accusations of antisemitism.

The techie billionaire touched down in the Middle East Monday, where he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other government officials as they toured the wreckage of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in one of the targeted villages that day.

Musk was taken to a specific home in this village -- known as a kibbutz there in Israel -- and it's said to be where a 4-year-old American-Israeli girl was taken hostage by Hamas.

As EM was being shown the aftermath -- burned homes and destroyed buildings/roads -- a baby's crib was displayed with bullet shell casings inside ... which his translator/guide says came from weapons used to fend off the attackers and to protect the Israeli citizens.

Elon took it all in and listened attentively -- even snapping some photos as they passed all the wreckage throughout this particular kibbutz. While it was most certainly a somber and serious moment ... some couldn't help but notice something peculiar about his appearance.

Of course, we're referring to the fact that Elon was wearing a bulletproof vest -- as was everyone else in the group ... but his looked rather small on him, almost humorously so.

It goes without saying ... this visit is no laughing matter, especially for Elon -- who's under fire for what was a recent embrace of an antisemitic tweet ... not to mention a report alleging pro-Nazi content was appearing alongside mainstream advertisements on X.

Elon has pushed back on that latter claim -- and even went to court over it -- but in general ... he's fending off accusations of antisemitism on his platform, and it appears he's trying to quell all that by showing face in Israel. As he wrote, "Actions speak louder than words."

Elon Musk se encuentra en Israel en este momento presenciando la destrucción dejada por Hamás de primera mano, y parece que lo hace para contrarrestar las acusaciones de antisemitismo.

El multimillonario tecnológico aterrizó en Medio Oriente el lunes, donde se reunió con el primer ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu y otros funcionarios del gobierno, mientras recorrían los restos del ataque terrorista del 7 de octubre en uno de los pueblos objetivo ese día.

Musk fue llevado a una casa específica de este pueblo, conocida como un kibutz en Israel, y se dice que es donde Hamás tomó como rehén a una niña estadounidense-israelí de 4 años.

Mientras EM veía las secuelas, como casas quemadas y edificios/caminos destruidos, se mostró una cuna con casquillos de balas dentro, que su traductor/guía dijo que provenían de armas utilizadas para repeler a los atacantes y proteger a los ciudadanos israelíes.

Elon lo absorbía todo y escuchaba atentamente, incluso tomó algunas fotos mientras pasaban por todos los escombros de este kibutz. Aunque ciertamente fue un momento solemne y serio, algunos no pudieron evitar notar algo peculiar sobre su apariencia.

Nos referimos al hecho de que Elon llevaba un chaleco antibalas, al igual que todos los demás del grupo… pero el suyo parecía bastante pequeño en él, casi de manera humorística.

No hace falta decir que esta visita no es motivo de risa, especialmente para Elon, quien está bajo fuego por respaldar a un tuit antisemita… sin mencionar un informe que alega la aparición de contenido pro-nazi estaba junto a los anuncios principales en X.

Elon ha refutado este último reclamo, e incluso ha llevado el asunto a los tribunales, pero en general… está defendiéndose de las acusaciones de antisemitismo en su plataforma, y parece estar intentando calmar todo eso mostrándose en Israel. Como él escribió, “Las acciones dicen más que las palabras”.

Think your Thanksgiving weekend travels were bad? Odds are they weren't nearly as awful as the ones the Nicholls State football team just had to endure.

According to reps for the school, the entire squad -- plus a bunch of staff members -- were stranded at a tiny airport in Illinois for nearly 24 hours with limited food and water ... all this after it lost its FCS playoff game.

The 6-5 Colonels were in Carbondale, Ill. on Saturday for the first round of the FCS postseason ... and after they got blown out by Southern Illinois, 35-0, they headed to Veterans Airport in Marion to catch a ride home.

The problem, according to Colonels athletic director Jonathan Terrell, is due to various unforeseen circumstances ... everyone had to lay out on the airport floor for around 22 hours as they waited for a pilot and a plane.

Terrell was critical on X of the NCAA, which handled the team's travel plans.

"Student athlete welfare matters, NCAA," Terrell wrote. "Seven hours in an airport, no transportation, no food and out of water!!!!"

Fortunately for the team, Terrell said SIU and Southland Sports Commissioner Chris Grant were able to get them more water and food throughout Sunday.

Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, has been a fixture at just about all of her "Renaissance" tour concerts this year -- and she's upped her onstage game ... all thanks to the haters.

In the wake of her concert film's premiere this weekend, the NYT reviewed the film and quoted Queen Bey as saying ... BI's involvement with the tour was meant to just be a temporary, one-off deal ... but became a regular thing after her kid pushed back.

They add, "Though she finally relented, Beyoncé was dismayed when Blue Ivy read comments on social media that criticized her lackluster moves. But it thrilled her mother that instead of quitting, she decided to put in the work and train even harder for future stops."

This news has caused quite a stir on social media ... half of Twitter is outraged that so many people were brutally criticizing the 11-year-old early on in the tour, but others are using this as proof that Blue Ivy's resilient/talented -- 'cause she's a way better dancer now.

Footage from her May outings in Europe has been making the rounds online ... and yes, you can see a major difference in how she performed then compared to recent shows.

The debate now is whether the harsh assessments of her skills at the time were warranted or not -- some think BI 100% deserved the flak she got, arguing that if she steps into the spotlight (next to her mom, no less) it's fair game. Others think the girl deserved a break.

Elon Musk's social media platform X is dragging a media watchdog group to court ... claiming Media Matters is engaged in a smear campaign against him and his company.

The billionaire followed up Monday with his previously announced plans to sue Media Matters in response to a recently published story suggesting pro-Nazi advertisements were running alongside organic user content ... an assertion Elon claims is BS.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Media Matters "knowingly and maliciously manufactured" side-by-side images depicting advertisements next to neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts on his X app, formerly Twitter.

X claims Media Matters is driving advertisers from Elon's platform by passing off the images as something the typical X user might encounter on the app ... something Musk says is far from true.

What's more, X alleges Media Matters went to great lengths to manipulate the X algorithm to create situations where paid posts from huge companies would appear next to racist and incendiary content.

X says Media Matters then took screenshots of the posts as the basis of a negative story ... "leaving the false impression that these pairings are anything but what they actually are: manufactured, inorganic, and extraordinarily rare."

The suit says it's all part of a wide-ranging smear campaign Media Matters is mounting against Elon and X ... claiming the group is hellbent on driving advertisers away from the platform in order to destroy Elon's company.

As we reported ... Elon announced Friday plans to file a "thermonuclear" lawsuit against Media Matters for what he says was a "fraudulent attack" on his app.

There's lots of reasons Elon's pissed ... including the fact the Media Matters report seems to have spurred a mass exodus among HUGE companies advertising on X.

Media Matters is not backing down though ... its president, Angelo Carusone, tells TMZ ... "This is a frivolous lawsuit meant to bully X’s critics into silence. Media Matters stands behind its reporting and looks forward to winning in court."

La plataforma de X de Elon Musk está arrastrando a un grupo de vigilancia de los medios de comunicación a los tribunales, alegando que Media Matters está llevando a cabo una campaña de desprestigio contra él y su empresa.

El multimillonario siguió el lunes con sus planes previamente anunciados para demandar a Media Matters en respuesta a una historia recientemente publicada que sugiere anuncios pro-nazis se estaban ejecutando junto con el contenido orgánico de usuario, una afirmación que Elon afirma que es mentira.

De acuerdo con la demanda obtenida por TMZ, Media Matters "a sabiendas y maliciosamente a creado" mensajes que muestran anuncios junto a neonazis y nacionalistas blancos en su aplicación X, antes Tuiter.

X afirma que Media Matters está ahuyentando a los anunciantes de la plataforma de Elon haciendo pasar las imágenes por algo que el usuario típico de X podría encontrar en la aplicación, algo que Musk dice que está lejos de ser cierto.

Lo que es más, X alega que Media Matters hizo todo lo posible para manipular el algoritmo para crear situaciones en las que los mensajes pagados de grandes empresas aparecerían junto a contenido racista e incendiario.

X dice que Media Matters tomó capturas de pantalla de los puestos como la base de una historia negativa: "dejando la falsa impresión de que estos emparejamientos son cualquier cosa menos lo que realmente son: fabricados, inorgánicos y extraordinariamente raros".

La demanda dice que todo es parte de una amplia campaña de desprestigio que Media Matters está montando contra Elon y X, alegando que el grupo está empeñado en alejar a los anunciantes de la plataforma con el fin de destruir la compañía de Elon.

Como informamos, Elon anunció el viernes los planes para presentar una demanda "termonuclear" contra Media Matters por lo que dice que fue un "ataque fraudulento" contra su aplicación.

Hay muchas razones por las que Elon está enfadado, entre ellas el hecho de que el informe de Media Matters parece haber provocado un éxodo masivo entre las GRANDES empresas que se anuncian en X.

Sin embargo, Media Matters no está dando marcha atrás, su presidente, Angelo Carusone, le dice a TMZ: "Esta es una demanda frívola destinada a intimidar a los críticos de X en silencio. Media Matters respalda su información y espera ganar en los tribunales".

Elon Musk says he's suing a media watchdog over a report he says is misleading advertisers to flee X ... and it sounds like he'll try taking 'em for every penny they're worth.

Here's the deal ... Elon and his new social media company have been in the crosshairs of controversy over the past few days -- and it mostly has to do with a story Media Matters published that suggested pro-Nazi ads were running alongside organic content from users.

Of course, that sounds scandalous ... and it dovetails with accusations of antisemitism that Elon himself faced this exact same week -- this after a Twitter response he fired off.

The Media Matters thing, though, is what EM is now squarely focused on in this epic warning. He took to X Friday night to announce he was hitting the courthouse first thing Monday morning in a plan to sue Media Matters over what he claims is misleading reporting.

Elon says, "The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company." He added, "Their board, their donors, their network of dark money, all of them."

There was also an attached explanation to Media Matters' report -- which, again, suggested Nazi propaganda was somehow popping up on X ... and which seems to have spurred HUGE companies to either pause or outright suspend X advertising over the last 24 hours.

Those brands include Apple, Disney, WB, IBM, Lionsgate and others ... and that, of course, hurts Elon and X's bottom line. So, he's trying to rectify it all now with what he says is forthcoming legal action.

It's been a bumpy week for the guy ... but hey, at least his SpaceX Starship rocket got successfully launched today. That is, before it self-destructed after about 10 minutes or so.

Elon Musk dice que va a demandar a una empresa de medios por un informe que, a su juicio, está engañando a los anunciantes para que huyan de su plataforma X y suena como que irá por cada centavo que valga.

Este es lo que pasó, Elon y su nueva compañía de redes sociales han estado en medio de la controversia en los últimos días, y todo tiene que ver con una historia que publicó Media Matters que sugiere que se están colando anuncios pro-nazis junto con el contenido orgánico de los usuarios.

Por supuesto, suena escandaloso y calza con las acusaciones de antisemitismo que el propio Elon ha estado enfrentando esta misma semana, después de uno de sus comentarios en un tuit encendiera las alarmas.

Su advertencia, sin embargo, se centra principalmente en lo de Media Matters. El viernes por la noche apareció en X para anunciar que a primera hora del lunes iría a los tribunales para demandar a Media Matters por lo que considera información engañosa.

Elon dice: "En la fracción de segundo que el tribunal abra el lunes, X Corp presentará una demanda termonuclear contra Media Matters y TODOS los que se confabularon en este ataque fraudulento contra nuestra empresa". Y añade: "Su junta, sus donantes, su red de dinero oscuro, todos ellos".

También había una explicación adjunta al informe de Media Matters que, de nuevo, sugería que está apareciendo propaganda nazi de alguna manera en X y parece estar causando que grandes empresas pausen o directamente suspendan la publicidad en X en las últimas 24 horas.

Esas marcas incluyen Apple, Disney, WB, IBM, Lionsgate y otros, lo que por supuesto perjudica a Elon y a X en general. Así que ahora está tratando de rectificarlo todo con estas próximas acciones legales.

Ha sido una semana agitada para el tipo, pero bueno, al menos su cohete SpaceX Starship fue lanzado con éxito hoy. Es decir, antes de que se autodestruyera después de unos diez minutos más o menos.

8:03 AM PT -- The White House just came out and blasted Elon's support of this tweet, with a spokesperson saying ... "It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of Antisemitism in American history at any time, let alone one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust."

They continue, "Like President Biden said weeks ago memorializing the victims of the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting, the October 7 'devastating atrocity has brought to the surface painful memories left by millennia of Antisemitism.'

The spokesperson finishes by saying, "We condemn this abhorrent promotion of Antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans."

Elon Musk is being accused of antisemitism after he said there was "truth" in a post that suggested Jews hate white people -- and it's now snowballing into a very costly problem.

The Tesla chief has a bit of a fire going down at his Twitter/X house right now -- and it's of his own doing ... this after he responded to a tweet that floated the idea that Jewish people spew the kind of ugly racist rhetoric that's so often thrown in their direction.

The OG Twitter user was responding to a video that was calling for an end to antisemitism, writing ... "Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."

He added, "I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest s*** now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much."

Elon replied, "You have said the actual truth." His apparent cosign of this sentiment -- which has widely been labeled as antisemitic -- is now causing backlash against EM ... with some saying he's supporting Jew-hating propaganda here. Of course, he's pushing back on that.

In subsequent tweets/replies, Elon has tried deflecting his criticism to orgs like the ADL -- but it seems the damage might be done ... 'cause one of his biggest advertisers is bailing.

Media Matters reported Wednesday that IBM had paused ads on Musk's platform -- this after some of their content was apparently starting to show up next to tweets promoting Nazis ... something the company saw and immediately backed away from.

The fact Elon had said what he said just a day earlier was lost on no one either -- but he's suggesting this all a smear campaign, calling MM an "evil organization."

Elon Musk está siendo acusado de antisemitismo después de que dijera que había "verdad" en un post que sugería que los judíos odian a los blancos, y ahora se está convirtiendo en un problema muy costoso para él.

El mandamás de Tesla tiene un pequeño incendio en su casa Twitter/X y viene de su propia cosecha, después de que respondiera a un tuit que sugirió la idea de que los judíos arrojan la misma retórica racista que tan a menudo se lanza en su dirección.

El usuario de Twitter OG estaba respondiendo a un video que pedía fin al antisemitismo, escribiendo: "Las comunidades judías han estado impulsando el mismo tipo de odio dialéctico contra los blancos que dicen querer que la gente deje de usar contra ellos".

Elon respondió: "Has dicho la auténtica verdad". Su aparente consigna ha sido ampliamente etiquetada como antisemita, con varias reacciones en contra y algunos diciendo que está apoyando la propaganda de odio hacia los judíos. Por supuesto, él se opone a ello.

En tuits y respuestas posteriores, Elon ha tratado de desviar sus críticas a organizaciones como la ADL (Anti-Defamation League), pero parece que el daño podría estar hecho porque uno de sus mayores anunciantes se está retirando.

Media Matters informó el miércoles que IBM había pausado los anuncios en la plataforma de Musk, esto después de que algunos de sus contenidos aparentemente empezaran a aparecer junto a los tuits que promueven los nazis. Cuando la compañía lo vio inmediatamente se echó para atrás.

A German man had his front door pounded on by an angry pro-Palestine protester after the guy flew an Israeli flag from his balcony ... this as a demonstration was going on outside.

Check out this wild video that was taken and posted by a man named Finn Wandhoff, who lives in Berlin and who was watching a massive pro-Palestine rally take place right outside his apartment Saturday evening. It seems he decided to voice his own view symbolically.

Finn says he flew a flag of Israel from outside his window -- a moment he says precipitated this door-pounding by minutes -- and it seems somebody outside saw it and didn't like it.

Here's the sequence of events, per Wandhoff -- he says he was flying the flag and playing Israel's national anthem from his apartment before the huge crowd came by ... which he claims spurred police to come up to his unit and demand he stop, but he didn't.

Once the protesters rolled through, Wandhoff says he again flew the flag ... which he says then led to this man running upstairs and demanding entry. He says he then called cops to report this but alleges the police told him he was being "clearly provocative" here.

Un hombre alemán recibió golpes en su puerta de entrada por parte de un manifestante pro-Palestina que se enojó después de verlo ondear una bandera israelí desde su balcón, mientras pasaba una manifestación por fuera de su casa.

Echa un vistazo a este salvaje video que fue grabado y publicado por un hombre llamado Finn Wandhoff, que vive en Berlín y que estaba viendo una masiva manifestación pro-Palestina afuera de su apartamento el sábado por la noche. Parece que el hombre decidió expresar su propia opinión simbólicamente.

Finn dice que ondeó una bandera de Israel desde fuera de su ventana, lo que precipitó que alguien le golpeara la puerta por minutos, y parece que alguien de afuera lo vio y no le gustó.

Esta es la secuencia de los hechos, según Wandhoff. Él estaba ondeando la bandera y tocando el himno nacional de Israel desde su departamento antes de que llegara la multitud. Afirma que llamaron a la policía para que se detuviera, pero no lo hizo.

Una vez que los manifestantes pasaron, Wandhoff dice que ondeó nuevamente la bandera, lo que llevó a este hombre a subir corriendo por las escaleras y exigir que lo dejaran entrar. Dice que entonces llamó a la policía para informar lo que pasaba, pero que esta le dijo que estaba siendo "claramente provocador".

Tucker Carlson is open to playing GOP candidate wrangler for a debate, but the Republicans would have to be down with the parameters he'd demand ... TMZ has learned.

In case you missed this week's debate, Vivek Ramaswamy gave a full-throated endorsement for Tucker to moderate a future Republican debate, predicting it would spark a major ratings boost.

Well, sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Vivek has personally verbalized this wish to Tucker himself, and while the former Fox News firebrand likes the idea of doing it -- he's not keen about doing it on a traditional TV network.

We're told Tucker actually spoke to GOP officials about the role back in the summer, after Fox News let him go ... but he didn't want to fall back in with corporate media, which he thinks is all buddy-buddy with the RNC.

So, the only way Vivek's dream will come true is if the party approves the debate airing exclusively on X. Obviously, Elon Musk would love that, but our source adds the real benefit for the RNC could be finally landing Donald Trump ... who's been absent from previous debates.

The feeling is Tucker's involvement might prompt Trump to participate.

Tucker's potential involvement came about after GOP candidate Vivek took aim at NBC's Lester Holt, Hugh Hewitt, and Kristen Welker during Wednesday night's third battle of Republican candidates.

As it turns out, the journalists got off easy ... relative to Ramaswamy's attack on Nikki Haley, who he called "Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels."

Tucker Carlson está abierto a ser moderador de un debate, pero el republicano tiene algunas exigencias, TMZ ha indagado.

En caso de que te hayas perdido el debate de esta semana, Vivek Ramaswamy le dio un respaldo a toda voz a Tucker para moderar un futuro debate republicano, prediciendo que provocaría un aumento de audiencia importante.

Fuentes directas nos dicen que Vivek ha verbalizado personalmente el deseo de Tucker a sí mismo, y mientras que al ex incombustible de Fox News le gusta la idea de hacerlo, dice que no está dispuesto a hacerlo en una cadena de televisión tradicional.

Nos dicen que Tucker habló con funcionarios del Partido Republicano sobre su papel en el verano, luego de que Fox News lo dejara ir, pero él no quería volver a caer en los medios de comunicación corporativos.

Por lo tanto, la única manera de que el sueño de Vivek se haga realidad es si el partido aprueba que el debate se emita exclusivamente por X. Obviamente, a Elon Musk le encantaría, pero nuestra fuente añade que el beneficio real para el RNC podría ser finalmente conseguir a Donald Trump, que ha estado ausente en los debates anteriores.

La sensación es que la participación de Tucker podría incitar a Trump a participar.

La posible participación de Tucker se produjo después de que el candidato del Partido Republicano Vivek apuntara a Lester Holt, Hugh Hewitt y Kristen Welker de la NBC durante la tercera batalla de candidatos republicanos del miércoles por la noche.

Resulta que salieron bien parados en relación al ataque de Ramaswamy a Nikki Haley, a quien llamó "Dick Cheney en tacones de 3 pulgadas".
