Those of us who paid attention knew Musk and his companies were awful at least as early as 2014. All these Tesla bumper stickers that say, "I bought this before he went insane" or whatever are bullshit. He was an insane asshole 10 years ago, but you weren't paying attention.

Tesla was in 8th place in the 2021 reputation ranking of America's 100 most visible companies, but last year tumbled to 63rd and now is near the very bottom at 95th.

Let's go lower.

There must be no bottom.

You mean being run by a Nazi who throws out Nazi salutes and hates everyone that doesn't tongue his enormously loose asshole is bad for business?

Gee willikers, I'll write that one into Forbes to let the other business guys know!

Starlink should be on that list, too. I would not trust my line of communications to Musk.

Ever.

For better or worse, amazon is planning to lunch a competing service at the end of the year. Once that happens I suspect StarLink will be dropped by a lot of people.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 9 points 6 hours ago

I think Starlink is just a product of SpaceX.

Nazis get a zero rating.
