Musk tweeted to praise Shopify's outstanding performance, and SpaceX also uses it

The topic of "Empire and Rebel" between Shopify and Amazon has not yet subsided, and a tweet from Tesla CEO Musk has put Shopify on the "hot search" again in recent days.

On January 29, Musk responded to netizens on Twitter, saying: " Shopify is also very good, SpaceX uses it. " After this praise, Shopify 's stock price immediately rose by 3.5% in the late trading in New York .

Recently, Musk has been making frequent comments on social media. Whatever he says becomes popular. Anything related to him can be said to be a bit of the world's richest man's "wealth luck", a surefire "wealth koi". Previously unknown encrypted communication application Signal , handmade e-commerce platform Etsy , emerging social platform Clubhouse , and Bitcoin have all been pushed to the "peak of life" by Musk, causing waves of stock market fluctuations. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "Wang Sicong" of the US stock market. I am not talented enough, so I can only think of Wang Sicong, the disciplinary inspection committee of the entertainment industry.

Well, let's get back to the point. Shopify is a Canadian website building platform with over 1 million registered merchants, which we all know. Elon Musk is the founder of SpaceX , a space exploration technology company , and also the co-founder of Tesla Motors and PayPal online payment companies. Interestingly, Musk himself also has triple citizenship of South Africa, Canada and the United States. Now the question is, these companies are all well-known, and they seem to have nothing to do with Shopify , so why did Musk mention it and say that SpaceX is also using it?

Then the editor searched for a website under SpaceX that sells peripheral products. Maybe this independent website was created using Shopify 's website building tool.

The product classification in the store is simple and crude, with men's, women's, children's and accessories all available. Clothing is also simply divided into T-shirts and jackets. The price of the products ranges from $15 to $140. The design style is mainly black, blue and gray with a sense of technology, which may be similar to Musk's usual dressing style. The picture below shows some of the accessories sold by SpaceX , mainly kettles, cups, hats, key chains and stickers.

Speaking of this, the editor naturally thinks of the copyright issue of the product. SpaceX has applied for copyright protection for trademarks and designs, and other text and pattern information must certainly not be used. Then can the US space agency logo " NASA " that appears in the picture above be used?

It is understood that NASA's Communications Office stated that if a brand needs to use NASA 's trademark and logo graphics, it only needs to submit an application to the Multimedia Department of the NASA Communications Office, including product design and instructions for use. The relevant NASA department will review it, and in most cases the review will be approved.

However , NASA does not completely have no requirements. For example, the NASA logo cannot be used as a trademark, consumers cannot be led to believe that the product is from NASA or its employees, and consumers cannot be led to believe that NASA is involved in any process of the product, and cooperation cannot be announced. In addition, the products sold cannot be drugs, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages. For the use of NASA 's pattern, NASA also has strict requirements on color, shape, etc. Of course, the specific information is subject to official documents.

Well, we can stop eating melons here. I hope that all sellers can also get some of Musk’s “good fortune” in the new year and have a lot of orders and big sales!
