What? You think that statement was a negative towards Ukraine?

Mocking the news outlets for making the cutoff seem like they were violating the TOS by using Starlink for drone strikes. But Musk just charges more for that, a lot more. Because you can charge a military almost anything for the same product.

    You are simultaneously mocking the free press while also mocking the hardships of people in Ukraine.

    When the way you talk is identical to how tankies talk, people are going to call you a tankie.

    You called them "murder drones", like you disapproved of Ukraine using drone warfare in their fight to defend themselves. That's tankie behavior.

    I don't understand your reaction, all the guy was saying was if Ukraine wants to stream Murder Drones, the hit Australian indie animated web series, then they need to pay Elon more for it. What's so controversial about that?

    We have eyes and the capability of reading. It very obviously was that.

    Disagree. Defensive or offensive, you're still killing people. It's war.

    It's most likely a neutral statement.

    When I first read the original comment again the thread was lovely empty and very new, I didn’t read it as a negative one, but rather as satire. (Obviously, I have no idea what the original author meant. But it looks like it was meant as satire.)
