Plus all the MAGA dorks that'll be in charge keep talking about cancelling the CHIPS Act which probably impacts decision making...

Also threaten to pull broadcast licenses for any news agency that looks at you with squinting eyes. Yay freedom of speech.

These billionaire special snowflakes sure go through a lot of effort to build safe spaces for themselves

You only need to hop on for 30s or so to realize why people wouldn't feel inclined to spend time there unless it to quickly bathe one's self in fascism and misinformation.

Sort of what America will feel like if Elon gets his scummy hands on political power.

I ain't linking any bank accounts to that dystopian cesspool and its tyrant CEO with no regard for rule of law who constantly steps on legal landmines and skirts all regulations and precautions.

Like...PayPal had some bad practices, but nothing like the incompetence and complete disdain for his own users/customers that Musk brings to the table

PayPal was a service provided by a different company, Confinity, founded by Peter Thiel and others.

Musk didn't really have anything to do with it. He, with others, founded X.com, that was meant to be an online banking system, and sort of became a competitor to PayPal.

Eventually they merged and Musk became CEO and highest shareholder. 6 months later the board of directors replaced him with Thiel while he was out of the country, but Musk still made a fortune with his shares.
