Badly is a vast understatement. There isn't a word that describes blowing 44 billion. Maybe 1 Musk can be a new unit of idiocy.

“Damn it, Jim! You just lost the company 100.000 dollars!”

“How big of a failure are we talking about here?”

“It’s about a 0.00000227272 Musk! You’re fired!”

"He really Musked it this time".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

What?

Musked it. It’s just this thing people say around your office all the time. Like when you screw something up in a really irreversable way, you Musked it. I don’t know where it comes from though. You think it came from Elon Musk?

I don’t know. Who knows how words are formed.
