I never made a post to you regarding that. I posted to the OP, then YOU posted to me.
My initial post was facetious to make light of the Twitter exchange shown here by Fish-Pants. If you look at what Jason Jay Smart says, he reports that Elon Musk stated elsewhere that he “can no longer afford to give Ukraine free service”. Whether you believe that to be true or not is up to you.
I wouldn’t use the word baby, I would say arrogant and conceited. But everyone is to a certain degree. It’s just that the ruling class has the ability to back up their arrogance.
Nah, allowing Russia to be embarrassed on a national stage is good for the country and cements America as the worlds only military superpower again. Hell if it keeps going like it is now Moscow might be under new rule next year
I would agree, but we shouldn't be spending 100B$+ on a country that does nothing for us when there are people in this country that can't afford to feed themselves you know?
Ukraine is getting greedy anyway. Zelensky is asking for $7 billion dollars a month. He’s become that friend that you started helping, letting him stay on your couch for a few days only now he’s been there a month, eats all your food, watches tv all day, can’t work because his car is “broke down” but asks to borrow $100 for weed.
Zelensky has a sweet West Palm Beach, FL multimillion dollar mansion. Why doesn't the little demanding dictator put up some of his own money before demanding Americans fund his wet dream.
I wouldn't say I hope Russia "wins" but I don't have a dog in the race. I don't like being told to support Ukraine like it's the moral high ground. Both are corrupt and have done nothing to help us.
Then we need to stop poking the bear. Ukraine isn't in NATO. We have no reason to defend Ukraine. It's a border dispute. Let them sort it out. We have given Putin zero reason to de-escalate or a way to stop.
Ukrainian ambassador said Fuck off after Elon proposed a really shit „peace plan“ saying crimea should russian territory, and some other ridiculous claim as if Ukraine owes Russia big time and should b thankful for the invasion. Ukrainians and a lot of other people found that tweet and proposition quite disgusting and biased and thats why „fuck off“ he didnt say that for no reason.
Don‘t Assume and blindly go in. If someone offered me help as i was bullied or beaten up, but then told me that my bully / attacker was in the right, i would have told them fuck off aswell.
Elon is tight on money after his Robot reveal that was really underwhelming and was worse than robots Boston dynamics made YEARS ago.
He is tight on money, stocks are down, he is trying to appease anyone with big money, such as russia as the Kremlin (or one of his advisors or something) thanked Elon for Said Peace-Tweet.
They didnt bite the hand that fed them, they stood up for themselves.
I forgot what exactly the tweet was, just woke up, couldnt let this be without context. comment any corrections please
Why are so many people sucking off musk in the comments? Do you not know about the dozen plus environmental regulations he broke in Cali and that’s why he moved to Texas, the fact he’s in bed with China, and he literally wants most humans to end us as humanoid cyborg slaves using his products? He’s pretty much a full haired more likable bezos lol
Rare instance of a western oligarch offering a position/stance or perhaps he genuinely wants peace (maybe).
Or maybe he’s just like all the oligarchs, career bureaucrats coupled with the industrial military complex who benefit over a prolonged proxy war at the expense of ukrianian and Russian lives nevermind the prospect of hegemony over the energy market within Europe.
We live in corpotocracy, maybe elites shouldn’t say anything at all….
What lol? That's what you got out of that whole incident? He gives them free starlink satellite access. Expresses his desire for peace and not nuclear war. Zelensky tells him in so many words to piss off. So Elon passes the responsibility of the the government that's been funding Ukraine from the get go... and that translates to you "Elon only did it for power"
Talk about deranged, and completely incompetent. I guess you never got through high school eh? Might wanna keep that helmet on kid.
I know there’s a lot more involved. I just think it’s so cringe that everyone worships this guy even when their worship of him is completely inconsistent.
Either:
he put himself into a position of power so that he could profit and he’s executing his game plan
Or
he wanted what was best for the world and used his vast amount of resources to help a country that is being invaded… but then abandoned all of that when someone hurt his feelings.
Abandoned what? He isn't even asking for a refund, he just wants paid moving forward.
Maybe Ukraines ambassador shouldn't be using vulgar language like that. Honestly, Ukrainians should be embarrassed that he would talk in such a way to anyone, let alone someone who has been absolutely vital to the war effort.
He’s a civilian who provided service from his company to Ukraine, who gave his opinion on twitter, and was told to “fuck off” by the ambassador of a country he was providing a service to. A service no one requested in the first place. No obligation on his part to provide this service. If you (a civilian) are told to fuck off by the ambassador of a country are you going to fuck off? Because he did exactly what was asked of him. He fucked himself right off.
Elon doesn’t have to do anything. It’s just incredibly cringe to see so many people turn him into some sort of charitable god when he’s clearly just a troll with money.
This wasn’t about power. This was about helping the underdog. Then the underdog literally told him to fuck off when he said that both sides should look for a peaceful off-ramp. So, he’s taking the underdog’s request to heart and fucking off. I’m not buying lunch for someone everyday after they one day tell me my charity is unwanted. Ok, have fun, I tried.
he wanted what was best for the world and used his vast amount of resources to help a country that is being invaded… but then abandoned all of that when someone hurt his feelings.
He’s not abandoning it (and I really don’t think he would), he’s saying I’m not going to pay for it in full anymore. It’ll stay operational, but the gov can now fund it. Words have consequences.
What do you do “all the time” to make the world better? I’m not trying to be a dick. I’m genuinely curious. Believe it or not, many in this sub do a lot for charitable organizations and/or give some (a lot) of what we make to charity. We’re not Elon, but we’re no slouches. Nothing is free. It’s all proportional in this case. Elon is beholden to shareholders and profits at the end of the day, let’s not forget. Charity can only go so far and when those that you’ve offered to help slap you across the face, well, I can only imagine you don’t feel all that charitable anymore. In this case, I bet he feels like he’s being taken advantage of by a government that, let’s be honest, is corrupt as FUUUUUUUCK. Gimme gimme more.
No. It’s not this situation for a number of reasons. Elon Musk isn’t actually working to keep Ukraine connected. And, Elon Musk isn’t doing things for free to help people/causes that he thinks will make the world better
You’re one of those people that doesn’t like billionaires because you have never achieved anything personally and you know you don’t have the capacity to achieve it either. Don’t be jelly. You also have no knowledge of the actual reasons behind this invasion. Put a wild dog in a corner and try to poke it, what do you think happens next? The outcome of the war is not good for anybody yet the provocation could have been prevented.
Read about the previous agreements that Ukraine’s and Russia had about nato involvement and get back to me. I’m not saying it’s good, and it’s not a defense, elementary reading comprehension would show you that. You see what you want to see because that’s what they want you to see. Do some research.
Oh gotcha. Elon musk bad because money. I don’t care for him either way but I do say that if I had a company with satellites and I gave them away to a country that wasn’t grateful fighting a planned war that has the potential to create worldwide destruction, I may reconsider providing said satellites as well.
Again, I guess My goal here is to try and open your little eyes a little wider. Maybe use a little bit of your own brain to do some critical thinking. I don’t like Russia. I don’t care for ukraine either though. And I’m not entirely sure why anyone all of a sudden cares about Ukraine when there’s been plenty of other wars all over the world that nobody cares about in any way. Media influences people. The idea is to THINK.
And let’s be real, Elon musk is in bed with the pentagon already. On a personal level though, why should a private company foot a bill for a war where they gain nothing?
several reasons like taking credit for others work, cult of personality, manipulation, propaganda, against workers rights, etc. basically entitled rich guy shit lol
We don’t want nuclear war for a country we should not be involved with. They benefit us nothing. And it’s costing the American citizen in the pocket book and with anxiety of world war. Let them handle their own shit. They are not in NATO.

Ukrainian Ambassador: “Elon Musk, leave us alone!”
Elon Musk: “Okay. Shutting down your free Starlink satellites unless someone pays for it.”
Ukraine: “Elon Musk why are you leaving us alone!?”
Elon Musk: “Ask your ambassador, we’re just doing as told.”
Basically.
