I hope you're right. I worry that he's already got enough power and money to maintain a monopoly, at least on the critical infrastructure...but hopefully that's not true. It's frightening though, that Ukraine's internet and communication capability rests in his hands, especially because he's buddying up to authoritarians and is susceptible to flattery by bad actors just like his orange twin, Trump.

I completely agree with you that the money trails of horrible entities are harder and harder to avoid. It's a symptom of the f*cked up late stage capitalism we've got. I do think Elon is a rocket douche because I'm deeply uncomfortable with that creepy edgelord having that much control over our space program. But I get what you are saying-Bezos is a cosplaying space fool.

good point, he is also a rocket douche. But he's not involved in the day to day operations the way Musk is with Tesla.

I'm not the poster you're referring to but we have a Rivian and it's great! I think it's a little over-engineered in the way most tech-bro things are, but it drives like a dream, has a ton of storage, handles beautifully in the rain and snow, and off roads like a champ. Overall they have great customer service and they're not owned by a megalomaniac man baby.

So embarrassing! there's some clown in my city with an ELON4LF plate and it's so cringe.
