Why are we taking geopolitics advice from a tech entrepreneur again? Or more directly, why does he think that his opinion means a thing?

Especially when he appears to be a shill for Putin.

 

[GTIfan99]

Like all billionaires, Ackerman and Musk only care about themselves. Everything else is theater 99.99% of the time. The war and sanctions are hurting their bottom line. Period.

This is why you don't let billionaires run your country.

 

[cb1111]

It is funny when Musk threatened to pull funding for Starlink and then changed his mind after the Pentagon said "there are other options"

Can’t keep up as usual, but I did have a read into this and it pissed me off. The only sense of it that I can make is that Elon is in favor of a new world order. Or maybe money is the motivator? Does Elon get more power if Putin gets what he wants? I can’t understand why he’s providing Starlink support unless the US is paying mass amounts of money for his resources. He seems very one sided in his support for Russia, except for Starlink. The conspiracist in me thinks that he could allow Ukrainian access…and maybe Russian “hackers” access too? I really wish we didn’t have such crazies leading the world. I just want normal and good, ffs.

Just wanted to say thanks for keeping us informed as much as you are, @cb1111. I was discussing with my wife about war and how shitty it is to feel like you’re forgotten. It’s important to keep in mind, even if it isn’t “our war”. Thanks for all the time and effort, Sir. I appreciate you.
