The domain X.com had previously been used by sites running afoul of the country’s rules on “negative” content.
Maybe they should have done a little industry research to see if this was a good idea.
Oh well, Elon Musk Genius, Dogecoin dogecoin dogecoin, monkey art
I was curious about the Musk experiment, but I think he’s proven himself to be an idiot now. How did SpaceX do so well?
It’s simple, SpaceX is one of the companies they don’t let him influence. The engineers just handle SpaceX because it’s too complicated for him.
Same with neuralink.
Also remember that Musk didn’t start any of these companies. He merely invested enough to become the face of the company. He’s only really ever started X.com, but that code was thrown out when he merged with Peter Thiel’s company.
This is just completely untrue. Musk founded SpaceX from nothing, there was no prior entity he acquired or invested in.

There are lots of legitimate reasons to dislike Musk, there’s really no need to make up lies about him to justify having an extremely low opinion of him.
Having followed SpaceX for a very long time, I think that Elon kinda figured early on how to get engineers excited for a lofty goal and give them sufficient room to fail and innovate, whilst squeezing every drop of work out of them.
So he was a good hype man for things he broadly understood and he was willing to put loads of money into making it successful.
But following a long tradition of people who are actually excellent in a narrow field, he convinced himself that he can translate this into imposing weird and frankly really stupid philosophy onto the world. The Bloombergs and the Carsons of the world have already failed at this, happily it looks like he will too. Not that he’ll learn anything from it, just hope he goes away and stops trying.
Nothing of value was lost.
Indonesia blocked most porn sites and reddit as well. But not twitter. Apparently, government officials are using it to “communicate” to the citizens.
