I know you don't like hearing about him. I don't want to write about Musk anymore. The world is disappointed, so here is another article about him.
A large advertising campaign was purchased from Musk's social media company, according to reports. The campaign will target potential customers in Australia and Spain, according to CNBC.
It isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but this deal could inject over $250,000 into the company. Since Musk took over, every little bit matters.
According to CNBC, Starlink will be placed on top of Australian and Spanish users' timelines for 24 hours, in order to promote their new product. During the campaign, users in the impacted countries will see ads for Starlink the first three times they use the social networking site.
Musk gets all the attention he needs from articles such as the one you're reading right now, despite the fact that this is the first time that SpaceX has bought significant advertising on the social networking site.
Just over two weeks ago, Musk sunk $44 billion into buying the microblogging platform, and had to sell almost $4 billion in his company's stock as a result. The billionaire's methods include mass layoffs of approximately half its workforce and 80% of its contractors, as well as selling blue tick verification badges for $8.
This has led to what could be politely described as complete chaos, with many users buying badges to impersonate others, and the remaining staff too stretched thin to respond. Some fired workers were asked to come back immediately, but many will not if given another option.
During its ongoing implosion, advertisers have paused their spending, which no doubt influenced SpaceX's decision to give up some money. It may not be enough to save it if it keeps collapsing.
