$5 a month is all they ask — an absurdly low price for a Lemmyverse of news, education, entertainment, and silly memes.
It is doing exactly what any reasonable person thought it would do. It's bringing the manic corporate c-level incompetence to the federal government where it can do the same damage it used to do internally to shitty tech companies and software engineers to important, previously reliable services.

Brought to you be the genius who paid $44 billion for a company and promptly halved the value. The same man who held his shareholders ransom for $56 billion.
Why anyone thinks a ruthless billionaire has any position in a service that is supposed to serve the people, is beyond me.

It was worth $44 billion to Elon, which just displays more of his business "skills".

Trump & Musk can't be adequately explained by stupidity. It's malice.

Nothing but burning energy
