Huh? Doesn't everyone assume he has a whole PR team that probably runs hundreds of sock puppet accounts? Like human bots? I mean isn't a PR team basically a given for a billionaire or any special interest group?

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Celebrities do use PR agencies but Musk is known for not having PR teams at any of his companies.

He is the stupidest billionaire.

PR people? They're an unnecessary expense.

He literally cut twitter staff by 80%, twitter is on life support and running on fumes, has crazy technical issues and breaking features, and he refuses to invest in it.

Yes the company is dying because he cut all their staff but that's not the point.

None of his companies have PR departments.

Any request for comment to these companies is responded to with a poop emoji or ignored. He's a child.

Aah, yes. I too love corporate bullshit lame responses. Damn you Musk for not having PR department!

Not as much as I love a Musk simp.

Oh thanks! Right, I guess when he fired them and that is when he became unpopular lol

If he has a PR team they are doing a terrible job.

He fired them all or paid them so little they don't care
