Dr. Suess wrote a book about this. I remember reading it when I was a kid. But now I kinda wonder if I just made it up in my head while I'm high because it's a very unlikely story.

Yeah probably the $8 cost is irrelevant for people with a real social media budget.

Though they should still be shamed in to having to defend their financial backing of Elon Musk.

IMC's gold checkmark is absolutely given by Musk. As stupid as IMC is, I don't think he'd pay for it.

So does SpaceX actually employ a lot of people or is just that there's no one left in government that doesn't think a private company is better? That DoE number was certainly enervating. It seems like too new a company to be getting the Raytheon corruption bux.
