Go f*** yourself,” Musk said.Musk’s remarks came after he promoted an anti-Semitic post on X last month and faced a storm of criticism.

Discovery, IBM, Paramount Global, Lionsgate and the European Commission.–IANSshs/vdhttps://ians.in/detail/musks-x-sees-wave-of-resignations-from-sales-team-after-giving-bonus-report–20231201182105/
