I guess “donated” means something different to Elon…

Well…at the start of the Russian war against Ukraine, the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, mad a big deal about “donating” some of his starlink internet receivers to Ukraine so they could continue to access the internet even if the hardwires were destroyed…well…I guess “donated” means something different to ole Elon than it does to you or me….just today, it was reported that you and I paid our tax dollars at the market price of 1500 bucks per receiver for the 1333 terminals that Elon said he “donated”…and the government also paid 800K to transport them to Ukraine….so, I guess Elon couldn’t afford to donate 3 million bucks like he says he can’t afford to pay taxes even though he made hundreds of billions of dollars during the pandemic….that is the problem with depending on the largess of billionaires instead of taxing them and then letting the government put the money to best use…most of these guys are just greedy as hell and to have them give up a penny for the greater good is just too much to ask it appears….so, while you see Elon patting himself on the back for a lie, just remember he was a regular at the trump WH and is just another maga asshole who cares about nothing but himself….geez…
