I guarantee you, you’re giving money to people much worse than him every time you shop, without realizing it.

His politics are less extreme than you probably think. Modern journalism goes for clicks, which means generating outrage.

I don't understand this mentality.

What makes Musk different than Blackrock for instance? Or Monsanto, or Shell, or any corporation both of us rely on and support, in return for being able to eat, fuel our car, etc.

Is it because Musk isn't lobbying behind the corporation but doing it publically?

I truly don't understand where ya'll draw the line.

I truly don't care what other people do or want, I just look to ensure I can live the life I desire while respecting that which others want or impose. As if me being angry or boycotting them will change their hearts. If it changes anything it's their tactics (more deception).

Another example is AI. I despise it, and honestly think it's evil. Yet I'm using it to secure financial stability in a way that does not require AI to sustain.

So when AI takes over my programming job I have the alternative already running, thanks to AI.

Don't reject the massive advantages of Starlink because of a man, just as you're not actively starving yourself despite our food supply being basically poison, caused by boards of men.
