  1. I'm a big fan of Elon. But sometimes he puts his foot in his mouth. However, when he is not being obnoxious, he has a good heart. Here are things he has done lately:

    1) He donated $5.7 billion to UN food program during the pandemic to ease world hunger.

    2) Provide free Starlink internet service for Ukraine worth hundreds of millions.

    3) Help solve Australia's power crisis.

    4) Help Flint Michigan waster crisis.

    5) Provide solar power to Puerto Rico after 2017 hurricane.

  2. I'm still remember 2y ago when SpaceX start developing Starlink and many people laugh at them. Today Starlink went beyond just a service from private company, into necessity of life in Ukraine.

  3. Elon Musk is trying to be a real peace maker and actually prolong a healthy environment and to stop the USA and UK greedy MP's and war mongering generals fighting for something futile such as money and power. These MP's and war generals are nothing but dinosaur's that should be made extinct and the Musk's and Bezos should and will be running the world very soon!

  4. This isn’t entirely accurate. The goal isn’t to replace undersea cables. It’s more about providing service to remote areas, rural areas, over the ocean and in flight.

    They really aren’t very small. A CubeSat is very small. Starlink satellites are about 3m when folded for launch and weigh about 300Kg.

    Also, SpaceX has estimated the first 12,000 satellites development and launch will cost around $10b. They’ve probably spent $3-4b so far launching just over 3000 satellites.

    They didn’t move any satellites over Ukraine. The satellites all move in set orbital planes.

  5. In fact, Elon Musk is now part of the war and part of the destruction of Europe. Part of killing people. Star link.
    Tulajdon képen most már Elon Musk is részese a háborúnak és részese Európa tönkretételének. Részese az emberek megölésének. Star link.

  6. In fact, Elon Musk supports the war, he is also involved in the destruction of Europe. The blood of Ukraine's victims sticks to his hands thanks to the star link.
    Valójában Elon Musk támogatja a háborút, ő is részt vesz Európa pusztításában. Ukrajna áldozatainak vére tapad a kezére a sztárlinknek köszönhetően.

  7. If I have my neighbor's wifi password and am using free internet, and he asks me to consider doing something I don't want to do, I would just politely say no. I would try not to insult the man paying for my internet.
