Literally? Are they pulling an Elon?

For those unfamiliar, the phrase “one’s name is mud” means that a person, or in this case a brand, is widely unpopular due to disgrace or scandal>

I think if pulling an Elon means something like committing a massive fraud then yer. P.S. I using pulling an Elon from now on.

No, no, pulling an Elon is buying a functioning company for over the market price then doing everything you can to drive it into the ground.
