      This highlights how deep the BS surrounding Musk has burrowed into the media scape. They invariably refer to his companies as “Elon Musks Tesla” or “Elon Musks Twitter” and so on. Where other billionaire’s (for the most part) avoid the limelight and their companies stand seperate to their idiotic personal choices.

        I say “Elon Musk’s Twitter” like would I say “Joel Schumacher’s Batman” — to identify it as the worst version of the thing.

            Unfortunately Boring and the hyperloop were wins for him. The goal was to get cities to continue using cars.

            Boring and Hyperloop were successful, they were meant to divert local governments from pursuing viable public transportation projects.

      the local telephone service here has seen several owners and even more name changes in the last couple decades. i still call it by the company name it had in the 90s.

      Just like X will never replace Twitter. That was a weird rebranding tbh. Meta at least makes some sense.

        That’s because Zuckerberg is actually a smart guy. He may be a prick and an asshole and possibly not human, but you really can’t deny he is smart.

        Musk is an immature idiot with money.

          Meta lost $40 billion in Metaverse. I wouldn’t call that smart. Facebook rebranding kept Facebook as a sub product of Meta. Elon should have done the same with Twitter by keeping Twitter as a product under X.
