When a guy is providing a free link up after your own is knocked out, kissing his feet should be a minimum.

You telling him to fuck off, making you pay for it is extremely nice, I'd just turned it off and said "fuck me, fuck you now fight without my logistical help "

Elon is a liar. He's been fully paid for all this Starlink shit and he just lies and says it's free to virtue signal.

Know what every single one of those crybullies have in common? None have done a single thing to aid Ukraine’s war effort. Social media is peak democracy where the discourse is decided by the loudest retards.

Social media is peak democracy

This is probably the strongest critique of democracy I've ever heard.

And AFAIK Elon believes in Direct Democracy.* I hope he understands this is how it's supposed to work.

(*even scarier than that, I think he'd like neuralynk to evolve into a networked system where the collective knows and can respond to the desires of every individual at every moment of the day)

swiss democracy is better than what most have.

Start it in a nice homogenous* community and the right culture you'll last till the 70s before you let women vote. And have more guns than anywhere else in europe.

The responses are so childish and petty as well, boiling down to pretty much "He can afford it so he should have to provide this for free."

Typical leftist mentality of taking away other people's assets because they feel they don't deserve them.

"SpaceX's request that the US military foot the bill has rankled top brass at the Pentagon, with one senior defense official telling CNN that SpaceX has 'the gall to look like heroes' while having others pay so much and now presenting them with a bill for tens of millions per month," CNN wrote.

Oh, I'm sorry, I missed where it was announced that Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Thales, Boeing McDonnell Douglas, Northrop Grumman, et al. announced that they were providing their military technologies to Ukraine for free.

What's that? They didn't; a large part the billions in aid approved for Ukraine is actually going to buy gear from these companies, and the government met with their executives to ask how it could help them to sell more weapons? Color me surprised.

Seems the height of hypocrisy for the Pentagon to ask that a civilian company donate its services for free while assisting military contractors to make billions.

And yet Musk already changed his mind out of the blue just on a whim. Now he's going to pay for it... Really shows you where the real power is.

Now, the word "entitled" gets thrown around a lot these days, but...

Imagine highlighting some random comment instead of the article.

That "recant" is either sarcasm or "under duress." He's pissed, that much is clear.

Didn't Rearden bend over and let them take over his business as well? John Galt is the one who told them to eat shit and deal with their own crap, that he'd go build his own society with hookers and blackjack while the parasitic politicians wallowed in their own filth.

He's got a bad habit of saying the right thing and then immediately contradicting himself and going back to being regime IT support.
