Keep burning your money, Elon; I can’t wait until you’re poor enough that no one gives a fuck what your latest horrible hot take or idea was. You won’t be missed.
Why do we keep posting his drivel on every platform?
Popcorn material
Because the things he says and does affect real people, and it's important that this behavior is known so that he doesn't get away with his shitty misdeeds in secrecy.
Nah. You guys just love to bond over the mutual hatred of Elon. There's a ton of more influencial people than him of who hardly nobody is talking about here. Elon is like Trump. They get loads of free attention and media cover largely because the haters can't stop talking about them. Before I came to lemmy hardly remembered Elon exists.
In that, they're both assholes who have influence over people's lives? Yeah, exactly. Literally my point.
We shouldn't let them operate in the shadows. They need to be exposed. Every single time.
Well there's still the slight difference that Trump was the president of the most powerful nation in the world and Elon is a random tech bro. If you don't drive Tesla nor use Twitter or Star Link then what ever Elon does has virtually zero effect on you life. You'd be surprised of how insignificant person he is outside this bubble. Most normal people pay no attention to him as they shouldn't.
Tell that to the Ukranian soldiers who had their Starlink access cut off during a critical moment in the war with Russia or to the people injured/killed by Tesla's half-baked autopilot that Elon refuses to admit is not safe for public use, both of which are decisions spearheaded by Elon, directly.
It was not cut off. Starlink was not enabled on the coast of Crimea in the first place. They asked Elon to enable it to which he said no.
They had previously had access, and then were denied further access by geofencing critical regions. That's effectively the same as having services cut off.
Starlink was never enabled in Crimea because that would be against the sanctions placed by the US. You're spreading misinformation.

They had access. Musk revoked it from the Crimea region after the fact.
No they didn't

It's honestly amusing to see what batshit strategy Musk will use next to fuck up Twitter. It's like he's trying to force every smart employee to leave, drive away every advertiser possible, and get users to find other homes.
