"Might as well throw Jeff Bezos in the mix too. " Why, they are both utterly different characters, just both happen to be ultra rich but they are nothing like each other. But on the original topic, he's an absolute bell end abusing his privilege to foster his nonsensical opinions on us all like that are world changing facts. His recent BS on Russia would have been ignored by everyone if it was anyone else, instead you have Zelenski himself having to reply to tell everyone he's talking BS like he hasn't got better things to do. | |||

"[Removed by poster at 10/10/22 10:42:40]" (missed a bit) Keeping it brief, as it would be very easy to write several essays, and keeping in solely on the topic of Russia as again, same: He recently suggested as well publicised that they should just let the UN redo the referendums, and that Russia should leave it that was indeed the will of the people. Also, that Crimea should be formally recognised as being Russian. This is trying to legitimize pseudo-referendums by dictators that took place at gunpoint under conditions of persecution, mass executions and torture. Also, even I know that this is not a war being fought "for the people", just the territory the will of the people was to fight back not welcome them, it's obvious what it is, for Russia to leave. He suggests that Crimea was always part of Russia, and provides a date for when that happened. That's the date Russia last annexed Crimea. We've nicked it before, so it's ours to steal now is not a strong argument. Also, pertinently, Russia didn't exist in 1783...neither did Ukraine... Earlier this year, he challenged Putin to single combat with "the stakes being Ukraine". Not only is this clearly dumb, it's also massively egotistical that he things he can be some sort of heroic superhero single handedly righting wrongs. I know it was in heat, but also with the full knowledge that it would be taken seriously because he can abuse his public figure status to say reckless things others would be ignored for. So basically, Musk weighing in on Russia/Ukraine since because he thinks he's got an angle the rest of of missed, when really he's just an expert in failed takeover attempts. He's one of those people who are smart in one area of life, and then think they are smart in every area. He should stay in the small lane he is smart in, and leave the rest to people who are smart in the other areas. | |||

" He seems a dick of human but has ideas and backing that puts him and his companies in global demand. It'd be good if he realised the weaponising of his companies (starlink), had direct consequences for Tesla sales, Twitter usage and whatever other domination plans he has. " For clarity, Musk turned his satellites off that were helping Ukraine. The result of a Twitter poll about allowing Russia to keep invaded land - restoring peace. It didn't go well even gaining favour by Russian elites. Ukraine came back and said how about a poll about war crimes, reparations and complete withdrawal. Starlink satellites have as a consequence not been working since, despite being in usage since early Feb. The same satellite are being used to help the Iranian protests. He seems happy to get into conflict, just don't disagree with him or there'll be a denial of service even if lives depend on them. | |||

I get that, people asked questions are ripe for having their answers taken out of context. But all the above is stuff he's put out on twitter setting his own context, not in response to an interview. These are his thoughts, not his answers. And they be dumb. | |||

When a famous talking head disrupts a life or death situation with his saviour syndrome flights of fancy and publicly denies your expertise, I think you're welcome to tell him to stick it up his arse. When that person is the richest guy in the world bar a couple, and he then takes offence and calls you a pedo because he felt insulted, it's no longer a mitigating factor, to my mind. In terms of tit for tat, several thousand people a day must tell Musk to go fuck himself every day on twatter and it doesn't;t impact him at all. When he tells the world someone is a pedo, that persons life can be utterly ruined. | |||
"I'm not sure his views on Russia are entirely dumb. If there were legitimate referendums that would be more sensible than the current approaches of killing people. Unfortunately highly unrealistic to happen. Overall I think he represents the potentially scary consequences of capitalism and unrestricted personal wealth. We can only hope such people don't get crazy or very angry." Agree with the second bit but the first would be like Wales and Scotland voting to join the EU and the EU bombing us until their referenda were upheld. Even if they were pre-war and legitimate, it would still be up to the sovereign nation to decide what happens and how it resolves its issues not if it cedes land to a country as a way to cease a maniac. Referendums are not usually yes/no/war level answers. | |||
