Re: advertisers... and suppliers
Musk has started a "don't pay suppliers" push. He wants to re-negotiate contracts while brandishing a stick
Ah - a lesson from the Trump playbook.
1. Hire an independent contractor to do some work (ie replacing all the gold taps at Trump-Florida with ones painted gold cos he needs some money)
2. Contractor does the job, submits invoice.
3. Trump says "I'm not paying because you did a terrible job (ignoring the 'customer is happy' signoff that the contractor got)"
4. Contractor threatens court, Trump replies "I'm much richer than you and I'll crush you in court"
5. Small contractor swears to never do business with Trump again and tells all their friends/local newspapers/Facebook that it's too risky.
Over time, costs rise because Trump/Musk has to find new suppliers from further and further away.
