Body language expert reveals tech billionaire is showing his anger and defiance in foul-mouthed rant at companies pulling their money from his platform.

Elon Musk is copying cage-fighting superstar Conor McGregor to show he will not be intimidated by companies boycotting advertising on X, the platform formerly known at Twitter.

Musk launched a furious tirade against those deciding to pull their money from his social media platform – and body language expert Darren Stanton studied the interview to see if the billionaire was starting to feel the pressure.

Instead, Stanton found a person prepared to stand up for the fight and refuse to be cowed by big business.

Speaking on behalf of trading platform AltIndex.com, Stanton said: โ€œOne of the gestures he makes is the chin thrust. A chin thrust is a sign of defiance, a sign that he makes to intimidate and undermine a person, or to demonstrate a person is angry.

โ€œThe most prominent other figure who does this gesture is Conor McGregor, the cage fighter. He will do a chin thrust, and itโ€™s basically a combination of anger and defiance. Thatโ€™s the emotion that Elon Musk is feeling.

โ€œHe is not showing signs that he is in trouble. He has got the resources – he can wrap it today and he will not be hit in terms of his wealth. He is saying โ€˜itโ€™s my way or the highwayโ€™, if you donโ€™t want to advertise it then donโ€™t.

โ€œHe is telling them โ€˜If X goes belly up, youโ€™ll have the world on your backโ€™. Heโ€™s indifferent to the advertisers. He comes from a position of sheer anger and defiance, hence why he swore. He doesnโ€™t tend to swear a lot, so that makes it even more powerful.

โ€œHe doesnโ€™t appear frustrated or intimidated. He is telling the advertisers they will feel the consequences if X goes bust.โ€

Latest odds according to AltIndex.com

Elon Musk to sell X in 2024 – 6/4

X to go out of business in 2024 – 10/1

Anย AltIndex.comย spokesperson said: โ€œElon Musk has a history of bold and outlandish statements, but even so this one is more confrontational than normal.

โ€œUltimately in big business money talks, and even someone of Muskโ€™s wealth will bit hit if advertisers withdraw their cash.โ€
