Musk: then the earth will know it is their fault when my business dies. Ask the earth. Fuck advertisers anyway.
Interviewer: ok, well, if ads suck so much, maybe you should change your business model and make money some other way
Musk: buuuu ppuul mmm uh ah ae oh we shall ask the earth

Being the richest man on earth, the correct thing for him to do is not worry about advertisers at all and run it as his own personal media site. And it would be good for people to have at least one media site that is an alternative to all the advertiser dominated ones. Unfortunately, tomorrow he'll be begging them back, because he has the memory of a goldfish and no consistency.

Yeah why not? That's literally what fuck you money is. Small price to pay to own one of the largest megaphones in existence. You confuse money with power. Monetary wealth is a great indicator of power up to a certain point, but then it diverges. Sometimes I think Musk gets this, but then he does something to disappoint me.

Does Musk actually have fuck you money, or is his wealth tied up in the value of his companies? (This is a genuine question)
