SpaceX's Earnings Call Hijacked by Crypto Bro Meme Mayhem
SpaceX's first earnings call since its record-breaking IPO has been met with a mix of serious and lighthearted questions from investors.
The company used an AI tool called Grok to build a platform for shareholders to submit questions, but the forum has been hijacked by 'crypto bros' promoting their own cryptocurrency, Baby Asteroid.
One question that rose to the top of the list asked if the company's mascot, Asteroid the Shiba Inu plushie, would be going to Mars. Another suggested painting the rocket pink.
The posts have attracted the ire of some serious investors who are calling for a crackdown on crypto-promoting questions and want to get back to discussing real investor concerns.
