It’s wasting our tax dollars if he blocked comms, he is on the opposite side of the war and we gave him subsidies! This has to be illegal, why didn’t we charge him?

Musk’s engineering prowess? He

If anything he knows how to be an entrepreneur, but I know of know of no engineering feats of genius or publications so I doubt that he has prowess. Some training perhaps. Can anyone corroborate?

Well written. I read this post because you recently followed me, I’m assuming because of my comment on today’s Popular Information post. I’m always curious as to why people follow me, especially Economists, since I’m a devout anti-capitalist. The larger question you ask, is it appropriate for an individual to wield such power over the group, and the consequences for the greater society is paramount. So good on you for that and consider yourself followed.
