The problem is that it's not working for Elon either, Elon is just insulated from bad decisions because he can pay for them.

Refusing to pay your vendors is actually a surprisingly common (small) business strategy. Notice nobody else has shut them off yet, even GCP or their main office landlord.

They're still gone for me, but only maybe 75% of the time, so I suspect a bug that nobody has tried to fix.

(Especially because the way it fails involves a "(null)" string being returned instead of the translation.)

They weren't actually using that space, it's empty.
