Elon Musk: Disney CEO Bob Iger "should be fired immediately"

• Media Matters for America also released a report last month on ads running on X next to pro-Nazi content, which contributed to the advertiser exodus. X Corp. filed a lawsuit against the left-leaning nonprofit for defamation.

Driving the news: "He should be fired immediately," Musk said on X, referring to Iger. "Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company."

• In a separate tweet, Musk questioned why Disney is not pulling its ads from Meta after New Mexico sued the social media giant over allegations of child sexual abuse protection failures.
• Representatives for Disney did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

Of note: Musk pushed back on advertisers boycotting X at the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York last week.

• "If somebody's gonna try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f**k yourself," Musk said. "Don't advertise."
• While on stage at the event, he looked out at the audience and presumably addressed Iger, who spoke on stage earlier.
• "Hey Bob, if you're in the audience, that's how I feel. Don't advertise," Musk said.
