Wiley hoped that all the publicity coming Musk’s way in the next few days is good. That is because of the unintended consequences of his move to mess up with the blue tick.
“They said back in the old days that all publicity is good publicity…. All this publicity, I hope it’s gonna be good publicity,” the former DE added.
