    Musk crap aside, I have a serious question: is there some kind of database of company names that you can check when deciding on a name for your business? How does stuff like this not happen much more often?

      Generally businesses trademark their name, and you can check with the trademark office on what’s been registered to make sure you’re not stepping on any toes

        Musk, however, is not noted for checking anything before doing it.
