Update: The domain name Acquire.com was sold for $200,000 dollars. Its CEO pulled an “Elon” and added an extra zero, per the original tweet, “for fun.”
It’s unfortunate that such a statement hurts the brand’s credibility.
Yeah added an extra zero for fun.

Spending two big ones to upgrade the brand from MicroAcquire to Acquire seems like a fair amount.
MicroAcquire has also filed for the registration of the matching trademark, ACQUIRE.COM; its CEO has asked Elon Musk to let the company have the Twitter handle, @acquire, which has been suspended.
Kind of a dick move, don’t ya think?
