Comment on Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’

  Well there’s still the slight difference that Trump was the president of the most powerful nation in the world and Elon is a random tech bro. If you don’t drive Tesla nor use Twitter or Star Link then what ever Elon does has virtually zero effect on you life. You’d be surprised of how insignificant person he is outside this bubble. Most normal people pay no attention to him as they shouldn’t.

    Tell that to the Ukranian soldiers who had their Starlink access cut off during a critical moment in the war with Russia or to the people injured/killed by Tesla's half-baked autopilot that Elon refuses to admit is not safe for public use, both of which are decisions spearheaded by Elon, directly.

      It was not cut off. Starlink was not enabled on the coast of Crimea in the first place. They asked Elon to enable it to which he said no.

        They had previously had access, and then were denied further access by geofencing critical regions. That's effectively the same as having services cut off.
