    He’s ok with being a horrible boss, stiffing people by not paying wages and bills, etc. but he draws the line at a country defending itself

    “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

    But the truly galaxy brain move is in this article:

    After CNN’s reporting, Musk reversed course, tweeting “the hell with it … we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free.”

    Gwynne Shotwell, Musk’s president at SpaceX, was livid at Musk’s reversal, according to Isaacson.

    “The Pentagon had a $145 million check ready to hand to me, literally,” Isaacson quotes Shotwell as saying. “Then Elon succumbed to the bullshit on Twitter and to the haters at the Pentagon who leaked the story.”

      I wonder, if I put image posts without context as a comment, will I, too, look as desperate for attention and legitimacy as yourself?
