The Fall of Travis Kalanick

As a receiver of a lot of SWAG, all of those company shirts become pajamas until the day they go into the H&M donation bag. I can't imagine any situation outside of working for that company where I would want to walk around advertising for them on an uninspired shirt with their logo plastered on it.

I've gotten one single shirt from a hackathon I considered wearing based on their well designed logo, but the entire back is covered in sponsors rendering the entire thing garbage.

I can imagine one - I would gladly wear SpaceX swag everywhere I go. Hell, I'd wear a SpaceX-themed tie.

Beyond that, I prefer to order t-shirts with my own design; $random-company swag frequently ends up as home/nightwear for either me or my SO.

SpaceX ran a promotion for employees where everything was 50% off. A few of my friends worked there and I was broke so for 2.50 for cofee mugs, hats and shirts was pretty attractive. I was a spacex brand whore for 6 months due to poverty. Love tge company though, if you can ever tour that facility I cant recommend it enough
