        No, but he’s going to waste a lot of money on it. And likely not his own money… But then again, he doesn’t have the tech bro pull that he used to.

        So the company might just quietly die as he refuses to fund it himself, and can’t con others into giving him more money.

      They couldn’t even come up with a plausible sounding lie for this one. His rocket company was to ‘make humans a multi-planetary species’ yet the Mars plans keep getting pushed back and they’re doing satellite internet instead. And his car company was to ‘help save the environment’ but look at what his rocket company is doing without a single, solitary fuck for the environment.

      Maybe it was all just about making stacks and stacks of money off of government subsidies? Nah; couldn’t be. And I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that every company he’s been involved with that couldn’t suck at government teats either fails or kicks him out for being an idiot.
