Elon Musk has faced criticism due to his "antisemitic" posts, with some big companies suspending advertising on X.
"If somebody's gonna try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money - go f*** yourself," Musk said during a discussion at The New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday.
Earlier in November, the US entrepreneur came under fire for endorsing a social media post that claimed Jewish communities were pushing hatred against White people, saying it was "the actual truth."
Film companies Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Paramount, and Lionsgate suspended advertising on Musk's social network X due to his "antisemitic" comments. A similar decision was made by Walt Disney, as well as technology giants IBM and Apple.
Musk said the general public will determine whether X will succeed in the long-run, or if an advertisement boycott will lead to the downfall of the social media platform.
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Musk visited the southern Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Aza to see firsthand the aftermath of attacks carried out by Palestinian movement Hamas last month.
Musk during the discussion with The New York Times said he does apologize if his endorsement of the antisemitic statement encouraged antisemites.
Musk said that in hindsight he should not have replied to that particular post, but he mentioned that his recent trip to Israel was "not an apology tour."
Last week, Musk said that the network would donate all its proceeds from the content related to the conflict in the Gaza Strip to Israeli hospitals and an international humanitarian organization providing medical assistance to Palestinians.
Responding to a Hamas invitation, Musk in a post on Tuesday said it is a bit too dangerous to visit Gaza, but believes a long-term prosperous Gaza is good for all sides.
