To be fair this is not Musks fault, this is Indonesia being Indonesia.
A failure to do market research is absolutely a company owner's fault.
Indonesia being Indonesia is not musk's fault, but not doing the bare minimum of looking into things is musk's fault.
I don't think the point is that it's his fault they have crazy laws. I think it's his fault that he didn't anticipate this would be a problem. I'm sure he did ZERO due diligence. I guarantee this came as a surprise to him.
Yes but he could have seen it coming, X.⠀ com sounds like a porn site. (or a video game about killing Aliens...)
Or like Mac OS X, or American History X, etc.
No. Just like porn or a game, everything else is unknown to normal people.
I don't think normal people know any games with X. At least I don't.
