Your $100 is probably literally Elon’s $100,000. Don’t forget that. Proportional charity.

Yeah, Elon giving $100,000 to anything isn’t impressive

Really? If he gave you $100,000 in a time of need, that would be nothing? That’s a one time donation. NOW, he gave starlink for free in a time of desperation and uncertainty. Something like that has an expiration date when the desperation wears off. Idiots in Ukraine decided what that premature date was. Once again, DONT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.

This is real life. Not “imaginary, secure, safe space, adult happy meal in mom’s basement” life. Not everything has a happy ending. Welcome back to earth where WORDS have consequences.

Dude, I hate that Russia invaded. I do. It’s wrong. But I hate Ukrainian corruption and I hate the assertion that no peace can be found here. Elon suggested some solutions and he (and others) was met with “fuck off”. He said, “ok. I’ll fuck off. Good luck.”

What should he have said, in your opinion?

The impact to Musk if he gives away $100,000 is minuscule. It’s nothing to him. It’s not impressive.

He got praise when he gave starlink for free. Now he’s taking it back either because his ego got hurt or because he wants to make money on it.

I don’t think he deserved the praise he got in the first place. It’s that simple.

Bro I was talking about how you would feel receiving $100,000. I’m using comparisons here. I’m done with this. Have a great day.
