Elon Musk brought his mom to a meeting with advertisers where he tweeted about Trump. He later fired an exec who didn't find the tweet funny, report says
Horizon Media CEO, Bill Koenigsberg, told Musk that some of his clients had heard about the meeting, according to Bloomberg. He said:"They all asked 'Is he going to get Donald Trump back on the platform?'"
Musk answered that many people were asking him the same question, before pulling out his iPhone and composing a tweet during the meeting:"If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if Trump is coming back on this platform, Twitter would be minting money!"Musk reportedly paused before posting, and asked everyone in the meeting whether they liked his joke. One Twitter executive was opposed to the tweet, but Musk laughed and posted it anyway.
