Elon Musk on Sunday took a jab at Paris Hilton and her Be an Icon cookware line after the hotel heiress withdrew her company’s advertising on his Twitter\/X platform over concerns over antisemitic content being posted on the social media platform.<\/p>\n
‘The ad campaign wasn’t super convincing tbh,’ the billionaire businessman, 52, said in a tweet of Hilton’s Walmart cookware line. ‘I don’t think Paris cooks a lot.’<\/p>\n
The Pretoria, South Africa native’s tweet came in response to a user who posted a 2005 image of Hilton, 42, appearing as a model at a fashion show put on by her sister Nicky in Las Vegas, donning a tank top that purportedly read ‘Stop Being Poor.’<\/p>\n
The user said of Hilton, ‘She stopped advertising on X because the content is too controversial.’<\/p>\n
In regards to the photo, Hilton in May of 2021 took to TikTok to deny having ever worn a top with that lettering, saying she ‘never wore that shirt.’<\/p>\n

Elon Musk, 52, on Sunday took a jab at Paris Hilton, 42, and her Be an Icon cookware line after the hotel heiress withdrew her company’s advertising on his Twitter \/X platform over concerns over antisemitic content being posted on the social media platform\u00a0<\/p>\n

The billionaire businessman was skeptical of the promotional campaign of Hilton’s Walmart cookware line\u00a0Be an Icon<\/p>\n
Hilton said on the platform, ‘Everyone thinks it\u2019s real, but that\u2019s not the truth,’ showing off a shot of the shirt she wore in 2006 that read ‘Stop Being Desperate.’<\/p>\n
According to the\u00a0New York Post, Hilton’s company was one in a group that pulled their advertising dollars from Musk’s company after Musk on November 15 endorsed a tweet containing an antisemitic trope.<\/p>\n
X CEO Linda Yaccarino in October said that Hilton’s company 11:11 Media had inked a deal for an revenue sharing ad campaign on the social media platform.<\/p>\n
Hilton said at the time: ‘Together, we’re going to be exploring new ways to connect with all of you across video, live video, live shopping, and even Spaces. And we’re just getting started. Loves it.’<\/p>\n
While Musk apologized and backtracked on his controversial remarks in the tweet, he remained defiant toward corporate partners who might want to jump ship.<\/p>\n
‘I don\u2019t want them to advertise,’ Musk said at the New York Times DealBook Summit November 29. ‘If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money go f*** yourself. Go. F***. Yourself.’<\/p>\n
He referenced Disney CEO Bob Iger, another speaker at the event, in his commentary, adding, ‘Is that clear? Hey Bob, if you\u2019re in the audience, that\u2019s how I feel.’<\/p>\n
Hilton, who had a Netflix show called Cooking with Paris, has since advertised her cookware line on Instagram and TikTok.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hilton is selling a cookware line called\u00a0Be an Icon in a collaboration with Walmart\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk has remained defiant toward corporate partners who might want to jump ship after a backlash over controversial commentary he shared on his account last month\u00a0<\/p>\n

She spoke to the outlet Eater last month about what inspired her to release her kitchen lines, which comes in a pallet of colors and has her catchphrases on it.<\/p>\n
‘Looking at all the kitchenware available online and in stores, I just noticed it was so boring and not fun,’ she said. ‘I didn’t really see any pink. I just saw rusty, like, silver and boring colors. It seemed like there was something missing.’<\/p>\n
She added, ‘I wanted to elevate people’s kitchens and make it more fun for them to cook. I want everyone to feel like an icon, even in the kitchen. Everyone should feel iconic no matter where they are.’<\/p>\n
