    Downvote Musk spam.

    The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle. Don’t be a useful idiot.

      I agree, downvote and move on. First I would like to state, People need to realize the only thing a billionaire wants that they can’t buy is celebrity. He obviously wants to be front and center, don’t give him the attention .

        I'm sorry, but this simply is not true. You can absolutely, 100%, easily buy fame in America.

        Elon Musk is actually a perfect example of this. Remember when he bought Dave Chapelle and made him introduce him at the end of his set? Sure, he got booed, but he also made the news and nothing was ever going to stop that.

        You can also literally buy media companies, or spots in the media, and simply put yourself in the news.

      I normally agree, but this seems like one of those cases where name and shame might actually get some results 🤷‍♂️

        He has been "shamed" by news articles every single day for the past how many years? It's not working. Downvote his bullshit.
