"My starlink system". He's literally a walking, talking "you made this? I made this" meme.
I get what you're saying, but I refer to my car as...my car. I didn't turn a wrench in its construction, nor did I design it, but it's still mine.
I mean he doesn't own it, SpaceX does. And he owns a bit less than half of SpaceX, though he retains most boring power.
Except for the fact that he doesn't make anything, he pays people who do, then takes the credit for it. Is his way with everything: companies, gaming profiles...
I reread and still don't see what you're quoting.
"I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army."
It's the first sentence of the quoted tweet.
My bad.
The interior, initial Musk tweet. It's a snippet in the middle of a sentence.
