Narcissism is a hell of a drug.  And that’s probably not the only drug he’s on.

The implication was that it is likely the driver was of Latino ethnicity, and the person doing the assault was motivated by racism (Trump fans tend to believe everyone of Hispanic origin is “an illegal” and therefore worth assaulting).   

They’re driven by stupidity, not logic.

but why randomly hit a bus driver? who’s, on top of everything, driving the bus you are in. I just don’t get it.

I’m thinking nobody waves to him at all. 

Musk himself has helped spread the image that he’s personally riding around in helicopters and airdropping free Starlink terminals to needy people and first responders so they can contact each other. Not a great plan, but could be somewhat useful to some people. Instead we find out it’s just a run-of-the-mill new…

If they have internet service to sign up for the promotion that is only available online, why do they need 30 days of free internet from Musk?

They will see it as an act of charity and praise him.

It’s scuzzy to say they’re doing something to help with an emergency and then not really offer much in the way of delivering. StarLink hardware is expensive and it will be next to impossible to deliver the hardware to the areas most impacted. Thanks for nothing.

“I can’t fault a company for needing to charge for hardware”

The man is worth over $200 billion. He could give away dozens or hundreds activated units to every community impacted for shared use and it wouldn’t even make a dent on his pocket change.

I work for a retailer, and when we send food and water to hurricane victims, as we do literally every time there is a major hurricane, we do not force them to sign up for a food delivery service with a free week and force them to make a deposit and keep them on the hook for monthly payments if they don’t cancel. We…

If it’s Elon, it’s always a grift, all the moreso if he can grift desperate struggling people.

If you can't find anything interesting in 2024 cars, you're not really into cars.
