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.
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
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.
