A lot of Elon bashing in here recently

I don’t understand this Elon bashing on this sub recently. If you look at the situation in a more sober way, his impact on Ukraine war is 1000 times more positive than negative, but this sub for some reason highlights only the negative aspects. He helped Ukraine with Starlink quite severely, so much so that many Russian commentators stated that they want him dead.

>Every time Oleksiy and his fellow artillerymen hit a Russian target, they have one person to thank: Elon Musk, the world’s richest man.

…

> The United States, European Union and other NATO countries have donated billions of dollars in military equipment to Ukraine since the war began in late February. But Musk’s Starlink — based on a cluster of table-sized satellites flying as low as 130 miles above Ukraine and beaming down high-speed internet access — has become an unexpected lifeline to the country, both on the battlefield and in the war for public opinion.

>Ukrainian drones have relied on Starlink to drop bombs on Russian forward positions. People in besieged cities near the Russian border have stayed in touch with loved ones via the encrypted satellites. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the country’s president, has regularly updated his millions of social media followers on the back of Musk’s network, as well as holding Zoom calls with global politicians from U.S. President Joe Biden to French leader Emmanuel Macron.

> The Ukrainian troops who held out in the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol were able to maintain contact with their commanders and even Zelenskyy — and conduct live video interviews with journalists — because they had a Starlink system in the besieged factory.

…

>“The strategic impact is, it totally destroyed [Vladimir] Putin’s information campaign,” said Brig. Gen. Steve Butow, director of the space portfolio at the Defense Innovation Unit, the Pentagon’s Silicon Valley tech outpost. “He never, to this day, has been able to silence Zelenskyy.”

…

> Starlink, too, is more adaptable than alternatives because each device’s computer code can be quickly altered in response to possible hacks. Last month, Musk said the Kremlin was “ramping up” its cyberattacks on his network, and SpaceX has repeatedly rewritten its code to keep one step ahead of Russia.

…

I hope you get the point, you can read the rest.

Now Ukraine counter attack had some issues because Starlink had some issues, that’s how crucial it is for them and was since early days of war, when he immediately helped them even though he did not have to. And Starlink help to Ukraine cost him 80 million USD so far, which is around 2 billion CZK. I wouldn’t be surprised if the help Elon is providing would be more substantial or at least comparative to the help Czech Republic is providing, even though we did a lot.

But let’s forget about all that and bash him for some tweets, because he wants to avoid Nuclear war. Truly a despicable act and the number One thing we should highlight about this war and his involvement in it. /s
