ABC has recently aired coverage examining the controversies surrounding Musk, including his management style at X, as well as issues related to Tesla and SpaceX. Musk, in turn, has voiced dissatisfaction with what he perceives as biased media narratives, previously speaking out against major networks and calling for \u201cgreater media accountability.\u201d\n</p><p>The hashtag #BoycottABC began trending soon after Musk\u2019s call to action, with many of his followers expressing support for his stance, sharing complaints about perceived media bias, and pledging to avoid the network\u2019s content. Others, however, view the boycott call as an overreaction, arguing that freedom of the press is essential and that Musk, as a powerful public figure, should not stoke anti-media sentiment.\n<figure><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.radiofrance.fr%5C/s3%5C/cruiser-production-eu3%5C/2022%5C/06%5C/40359b7f-6265-4f89-9c1b-b7618c827c67%5C/640x340_sc_000-8wa6ct.jpg%5C%22" width='\"640\"' height='\"340\"'>\n<p>Some experts have weighed in, suggesting that Musk\u2019s influence, combined with his willingness to take on major media outlets, could have notable consequences for ABC. In an era when streaming services are already challenging traditional networks, any loss in viewership could impact ratings and revenue for legacy media companies.\n<figure><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.vietnamworks.com%5C/hrinsider%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/03%5C/Untitled-design-2021-03-16T171055.186.png%5C%22" width='\"1200\"' height='\"900\"'>\n<p>Musk\u2019s latest comments add fuel to a broader conversation around public figures, media relations, and the role of social platforms in influencing public perception. As of now, ABC has not issued an official response to Musk\u2019s call for a boycott, and it remains to be seen whether this will develop into a more significant standoff between the influential CEO and the media giant.\n</p><div id='\"M845074ScriptRootC1638597_0154e\"'>\n<div id='\"MarketGidComposite1638597_0154e\"'>\n<div>\n<div class='\"mgbox\"'>\n<div class='\"mgheader\"'>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bold statement sparking widespread debate, tech billionaire Elon Musk has called for a public boycott of the ABC Network, urging his supporters and followers to \u201ctake \u2019em down.\u201d Musk\u2019s comment, which was shared on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), immediately set off a firestorm of reactions, drawing support from some and [&hellip;]\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":567,"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions\/567"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/momentsunfolded.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}</p></div></div></div></div></div></figure></p></figure></p></figure></div></div></div></div></div></div></header>
