elon musk did so much for humanity, we can never forget him for:

  • buying tesla
  • buying paypal
  • buying twitter
  • privatizing nasa
  • littering the night sky with shiny satellites
  • inventing trains but they kill you instantly
  • inventing tunnels but they kill you and only let you use 1 type of car

I hate that I have to give him credit for providing Ukraine with Internet access.

I'm quite serious, it's the single one thing that keeps him from winning the Perfect Prick Prize.

@hllizi Mostly government funded, https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/10/15/world/russia-ukraine-war-news

“The document showed that whereas SpaceX donated about 3,000 terminals to Ukraine, other governments and allies provided funds for nearly 17,000.”

Elon Musk Drops Threat to Halt Internet Service in Ukraine

Internet service provided by Mr. Musk’s company, SpaceX, has been crucial for the Ukrainian army’s communication as it moves to retake Russian-occupied territory. Russia’s Defense Ministry said two men shot and killed fellow soldiers at a training camp in the Belgorod region.

@charlotte @hllizi also like, I don't mind admitting those 3k were significant in providing critical access
but that still doesn't make Musk a hero for giving up on several millions in profit for his multi-billion dollar company. heck, I donated a larger portion of my net worth to Ukraine, and that's just one of his company, it's literally the bare minimum.

and that's before we discuss SpaceX's role in defunding NASA which could have provided a public alternative.

@Yuvalne
Not trying to paint this as a heroic deed, but it's still good he did it, that's all I'm claiming. Don't know anything about the NASA-defunding though, that sounds interesting, but not in a good way.

That was classy.
