“How am I in this war?” Musk asks Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

Musk, transparent as ever, makes sure to tell his biographer that it's about peace, man, and has nothing to do with his love of authoritarian regimes.

Nothing more peaceful than supporting an authoritarian war criminal 🥰

And a shit eating little shoe-horn of the phrase "Netflix and chill".

He’s just making sure that his personal brand is associated with sexytimes, as per his naming of the Tesla models.

Didn't his company supply a bunch of Starlinks because of the war? Was he expecting Ukranians needed to watch more Netflix and do more school stuff while getting bombed out by the Ruzzians? What a crock

Yeah, that was when he expected Russia to win easily. Probably figured he'd get a little bit of good PR, then Russia wins and then he could say "I tried to help, but I guess it just didn't work out for Ukraine." Just didn't go the way he expected I guess.

That and I don't think he was quite so far down the fascist rabbit hole back then.

Maybe if he had any actual knowledge instead of just buying shit and slapping his name on it, he would know that the Internet was originally DARPAnet and was designed for expressly military purposes prior to being co-opted by capitalists.
