A man who grabbed our concept of a centralized internet by the balls and squeezed it so hard that the Lemmy’s user count 65xed in a 3 months period. Thank you for your service

That whole debacle is so satisfying. From the beginning, he has bungled everything about it. I get so much schadenfreude watching the patron saint of "I am very smart" bleeding money.

I also like how it's affecting all the other businesses: Tesla, Space X, etc. People who looked up to him were proud to own Teslas, now people are ashamed, and looking more critically. Any factions in the government who were happy to rely on Space X to resupply the ISS are now probably having to defend their assessments. I just hope that it spreads to other "genius" billionaires like Ellison and Bezos and their businesses.
