American billionaire Elon Musk has claimed that the Starlink system is crucial to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, suggesting that if he were to switch it off, the front line held by Ukrainian troops would collapse.
Because it was on video, it’s easy to digest, and it reveals something about his character. It especially makes clearer his reasons for dragging the kid everywhere he goes; it’s clearly not because he gives a shit about the kid. It makes the abuse a lot more obvious, and detracts from the humanising effect of the kid.
Like if you thought the issue was that people thought the moment had some serious material impact on the kid’s wellbeing, or that he actually lost his kid in a crowd or something, then I think you just missed the point of it entirely.
Also if you thought context makes it better, the people who were physically there and were presumably supporters of him said “you’re leaving your kid”, so it’s like… obviously an issue, by admission of people who wouldn’t want to admit it.
Like you could ask the same thing about his Nazi salute. We focused on it because it tells us something about who he is. The exact posture of his hand in that moment didn’t physically hurt anyone, it’s about the message it sends, and that message is going to hurt people.
And yes bad parents are everywhere, and Elon is unsurprisingly among them.
You were doing so well before the last line which comes over as haughty and suggests you’ve not actually got any solid arguments. “It’s like this because”.
Anyway I disagree, it was a nothing burger and I object to your nonsensical conflation of that with a seig heil. I’d call that a Reddit moment but this place has a different name.
That’ll do me for this conversation, we disagree and that’s fine. Have a nice day.

This is super basic stuff.

At a certain point I realised I was explaining the super obvious, and I wanted to point that out.
If it offended you, sit with that feeling. Maybe it’s trying to tell you something.
