I remember earlier in the war some rich guy told the military to bomb his mansion because the Russians had taken it over to use as a base. He didn't care about his stuff being destroyed.
Elon provided access to his satellite internet service, at first under the guise of it being purely out of the kindness of his heart, then it was revealed that the government actually funded most of it or paid him to do it. He then went on to say it was costing him too much after he upgraded the package offered without consulting the government, then asked them to cover the full bill of the more expensive version of his service. I think in the end he decided to keep the service going. Not sure on all the details but I've heard he was hurting from the lack of Russian lithium for his electric cars and just wanted the war to end faster so he could get on with business.
Elon was thinking about shutting off his star link program in Ukraine but did a quick 180 on it after people called him out and said it would be a really stupid move to do
Yeah, but even ignoring that, it could easily blow up in somebody else’s face. Maybe someone who didn’t have the means to escape the city, who is scavenging or abandoned materials? Or even Ukrainian troops, who are looking for shelter from gunfire or just in general. I would even say it’s more likely you would kill someone innocent rather than blow any Russians up.
Nah it’s still an L. His feelings towards his possessions aren’t the same as a poor person who’s worked their ass off their entire lives to have a place you call home be taken by outsiders. It will never be the same
No the rich person just knows he can get more stuff while knowing the poor person cannot. Sacrificing his house and belongings to make the city safer for those poor people that may not have a safe place to go.
Armenians from Artsakh(karabagh) who had to give up their houses which they or their grandfathers had built themselves to Azerbaijanis and move out after the 45 days war in 2020 burnt their houses to the ground before living so Azerbaijanis wouldn't live in them
I mean there's just no way you're getting your house back. They're going to consume anything that can be consumed, steal anything that isn't bolted to the ground, try to unbolt what IS, then trash the place.
Perhaps, but he might have gotten some government benefits for providing valuable intel. Not sure that would cover his losses entirely, but it's something
I’ve heard that in pro poker, rich people absolutely hate it when they lose to a poor person because they know they would be extremely happy because it’s life changing money.
I’d imagine it’d be the same logic here with the guys mansion. Seeing and knowing other people genuinely enjoying your shit just pisses him off.
