Bob Iger ‘thinks it’s cool to advertise next to child exploitation material’: Elon Musk calls for Disney CEO’s termination

Elon Musk fanned the flames of his ongoing feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger on Thursday, sharing a series of posts on his social media platform, X, that accused Iger of supporting child exploitation.

During an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the DealBook Summit in New York City last week, Musk slammed some companies for boycotting X and attempting to blackmail the platform and advertisers.

“Don’t advertise,” Musk bluntly stated. “If somebody’s gonna try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money? Go f*** yourself! Go. F***. Yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.”

“Hey Bob, if you’re in the audience … that’s how I feel,” Musk added.

Disney, along with a number of other companies, including IBM, NBCUniversal, and Comcast, halted advertising on X.

“What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil,” Musk continued. “F*** them.”

Iger spoke earlier at the same event and noted that his relationship with X was no longer “positive.”

On Thursday, Musk continued to go after Iger and called for Disney to fire its CEO.

Musk shared a meme on X making fun of Iger.

“Bob Iger,” the meme read, featuring a photo of comedic actors Laurel and Hardy laughing. “That’s the joke.” Musk added to the post, stating that the Disney CEO “drops more bombs than a B-52.”

“Bob Eiger thinks it’s cool to advertise next to child exploitation material. Real stand up guy,” the Tesla CEO wrote in another post on X, misspelling Iger’s name.

The post referred to a recent lawsuit filed against Meta by the New Mexico attorney general’s office, accusing Facebook and Instagram of exposing children to sexual content.

“Meta has allowed Facebook and Instagram to become a marketplace for predators in search of children upon whom to prey,” the lawsuit stated.

New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez said, “Mr. Zuckerberg and other Meta executives are aware of the serious harm their products can pose to young users, and yet they have failed to make sufficient changes to their platforms that would prevent the sexual exploitation of children.”

Musk questioned why Iger and his company have not boycotted Meta platforms over the allegations.

“Why no advertiser boycott, Bob Eiger? You are endorsing this material!” he wrote on X.

Musk noted that it is “crazy that Disney has to be sued to stop this terrible behavior.”

“He should be fire immediately,” Musk insisted. “Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company.”

Disney did not respond to a request for comment from the New York Post.
