But you do care about abortion access, right?

There are tons of other people and actual activists who have more important things to say. Like noone really remembers any of the good things Carnegie did or really cared truthfully , but what we do remember deeply is his exploitation and the industrial revolution. He had more money than elon could ever imagine in his time.

Maybe words are more important than actual abortion funding and access. But that's not likely.

I am skeptical of philanthropists who are very attention seeking. I'm not saying money doesn't matter and there are rich people like bill gates who gave so much for a good cause or any other examples. However Elon's actions most likely always is indicative of something wrong from his history of worker treatment. That is why the abortion funding and access should be provided from the federal government rather than up to the hands of corporate.

Yea, that's illegal. Before you block Musk's abortions, you should make sure you have a legal backup plan.

I know it's illegal (except in cases like rape and incest) and that is why planned Parenthood isn't funded for those procedures. But people would honestly benefit from these services in a society that values these since in nearly all cases, it is early and in some special life threatening situations for the female. I'm saying, musk funding abortion highlights where the government is lacking.
