    , we’ve decided as a society that even global leaders, scientists and life saving doctors who do the most important work don’t earn that much.

    The US doesn’t even pay the President $1 million a year salary. Arguably the most powerful person in the world isn’t even considered a millionaire status job. And yet we allow shitfuckers like Elon to scam their way into hundreds of billions. It really says that the majority of Americans are A-OK with scams and cutthroat tactics representing them.

        The fact that the DoD hasn’t seized control of Starlink as a national security asset is insane. They could even pay him a fair market price for the company and keep all the employees on. Just appoint government personnel at the highest levels to ensure it stays online.
