    Honestly I wish he would ‘leave’ SpaceX too.

    I caught his livestream for the latest Starship launch, and he literally introduced the event with a 10-minute speech on “saving your life” by buying crypto, and how they would match your crypto if you used his link or something. WTF was all that, and WTF did that have to do with SpaceX.

      Pump&Dump?
      Musk bought into some shitcoin that crashed before he made profit, so even if he gives half away, the slight boost on price will let him dump the rest for less losses… Maybe?

      You are the victim of YouTube scam channels pretending to be SpaceX…

      SpaceX no longer streams on YouTube anymore, so anything you see will be fake.

      It’s also disappointing YouTube is so bad at catching these. During IFT4 that was literally the most watched stream, had more viewers than Everyday Astronaut for example.

        It might not have been an official “SpaceX” channel, sure, but it was 100% Elon talking about buying his crypto, while he was stalling talking about the latest Starship launch. After he got over his speech, he did switch to talking about the 4th test launch. It was more than 1 channel too, anyone covering the “mission debrief & update” aired the crypto sales speech.
