Taking time to kiss Elon's ass but not to respond to customers.
What an idiot. Imagine thinking that being the CEO of Epik is some kind of flex.
In a way, I envy the blind, maybe today is the day elon retweets me approach. Sending a tweet is free, so what's the risk eh? Or to say, we (I, Brian) put it on record, that we (I, Brian, CEO of Epik) wanted to help since day 1 of the musk twitter era.
The job application that never goes away if it's done via tweet.
He just might have had better luck tweeting elon from the more developed official
EpikDotCom twitter account with 8k followers, as that certainly has more reach, and more legitamcy than an account with just 75 followers, So one has to ask, why even bother?
In defense, Brian doesn't owe nP anything, and CEO's such as Aman from GoDaddy remained silent during previous namePros uproars, while he focused his time on CNBC and investor relations. Tweeting = Investor Relations? Maybe, lol.
Another thing to consider is it is political season and Epik has their fair share of politically motivated customers, so it wouldn't be to surprising if the masterbucks issue was taking backseat until the November 8th election. Judging by epik's previous responses (re: PayPal .. Hunter Biden) it wouldn't be too surprising if right now epik was more focussed on empowering their political customers given the time sensitivity and potential earnings before they fix their KYC compliance or whatever the payout issue is.
It's actually quite surprising, maybe a bit refreshing (or maybe I missed it) not to see a conspiracy related epik response related to their payout issues. But also one of those things, where if Rob was still CEO, I'm pretty sure this would have been addressed differently, customers would be remedied and satisfied quicker, but also domainers might have been subjected to some of that patented epik controvery.
I still have domains at epik, and find a bit of security when
seeing domaining related tweets from epik folks like @Sufyan Alani attending this weeks LA ICANN event, but without Rob Monster at the helm, and seeing the CEO tweet at Elon Musk before addressing his clearly concerned customer base, this change makes me wonder, that unless I change my name to Elon Musk, I may never again have that "If something goes wrong, epik ceo will fix it" warm and fuzzy. Say what you want about Rob Monsters politics, or business/marketing practices, but as a supportive domain excecutive Rob reached the GOAT level assisting hundreds, maybe thousands of domainers on a level not many other domain executive has.
It's rather amusing that Brian Royce has suddenly added "CEO Epik" to his Twitter bio, just for this purpose. He had not mentioned that since the brutal transfer of power.
Brian's linkedin profile also has him listed as the CEO of UnifiedCommerceCompany.com and COO of Critical.Video. Not knowing anything about those companies, or really Brian, it seems he's capable of adding more to the community beyond a twitter bio change, and being more than a placeholder solely responsible for shielding core issues away from the chairmans (Rob Monsters) responsibility or blame.

LOL,
It might be more effective/on-topic for those who are owed money by Epik (MasterBucks), to respond (Tweet) directly to new epik CEO Brian Royce's tweet to offering to help Elon.
I mean If Brian is offering to help, clearly there are epik customers needing Brians help. #GiveBrianATweetingChance #BeEpik
