Is it time to call Elon Musk a fraud?

The excuses from his fanboys over that terrible episode with the DeSantis launch are laughable. It's not bleeding edge tech here. It's fairly standard tech that has to be planned out and scaled. Twitch and YouTube do it every day all over the world. For Twitter to break down like that shows that he's not the tech genius that the biased corporate media wants us to believe.

Maybe without those govt. subsidies, he is this

Half the shit he makes are undesirably combustible. Heck, Twitter spaces can lock up your phone.
