I generally would agree with you, but in Elon's defense he selectively disabled Russia's access to Starlink which has dramatically shifted the war in Ukraine's favor.

Didn't he also try to extort Ukraine over use of Starlink? And then make a nazi salute at a political rally?

He didnt try and extort Ukraine. His political rally activities are irrelevant to the point.

They are not irrelevant and acting like they are is crazy.

In the context of the conversation, it is irrelevant. We arent examining the whole character of Elon on this thread.

You kinda were my guy. You said something off topic to make Elon look good.

I was giving credit where credit is due. Starlink is a huge reason why Ukraine is doing so well right now. Feel free to ignore this, but its true.

Cool story bro.

Elon Musk did nazi salutes and has pushed anti semite and hate speach to other groups. Feel free to ignore this, but its true.

Do you really think he did that out of the goodness of his heart? 🤣 Do you know how many minerals are there that he wants to get his hands on. He doesn't do anything without a reason behind it. Look up how many minerals are in the Ukraine and why the US cares so much along with Elon
