No real brand wants to advertise on his platform anymore, so he's serving dogshit ads like this now, to the first people who pay. It's not a conspiracy

Yep, we're about six months away from Elon Musk personally hawking snake-oil diet supplements and survivalist gear to doomsday preppers a lá Alex Jones. Heck, once Alex Jones' bankruptcy proceedings are finished, Elon can just buy out his stock, cross out ~~Info~~ and sell them as "ElonWars Supplements."

Yes but the question is why would anyone pay for ads like that? How is that investment going to make any sense?
