Turns out when you come out of the closet as a complete and total right wing asshat, the people that would have bought your shit will give it a hard pass. Then, the people that like your asshatness, don't like your product and shit on it every chance they get. He found out.

No no. I mean yes. But no. You've commented on the wrong story.

That's certainly happening more directly in this walkback / apology tour where Elon is asking for advertising money now on Twitter.
