Elon Musk has proved once again, if any proof were needed, the disastrous strategy of relying on other’s platforms to build your brand or business.
Whether it is Elon Musk at Twitter or Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook or anyplace else for that matter you are entirely at their mercy and their whim if you decide to rely on such platforms to promote your business.
