I can't find the exact quote right now, but I saw in another article he said something like, "If they don't pay for advertisements, X will be gone. How sad!"

It seems Musk thinks he's tending another Mona Lisa or some other world cultural artifact that society would hate to lose. Not some website that's fairly easily recreated by, say, a bunch of hobbyists.

He just got approved for that big $40+ billion compensation package from Tesla so he's got lots to work with.

What's absolutely insane to me, is that other CEOs think that's fair and fine and that Elon is very smart and not a con artist? No wonder Elizabeth Holmes got so far. It's just so obvious he's not above board

A single billion is an obscene amount of money for an individual, I can't fathom how anyone can be worth/earn a billion in a couple of years.

He works really really hard ;)

Yeah, you guys try making 20-30 xitposts a day. He deserves pay that is best expressed in scientific notation.

Well, well, well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.
