That's awfully ignorant, considering Musk gave $5.8B to the UN to deal specifically with world hunger.



Also, Twitter opted for a poison pill defense today.

has he though? https://fortune.com/2022/02/15/elon-musk-5-7-billion-donation-weeks-after-asking-un-world-hunger/

anyway, found the part about it being another ego / vanity stunt of his rather amusing and spot on.

You keep bringing that up, you obviously don't understand my take on abortion. Other people certainly use their faith to justify their positions. I use the NAP for mine. I don't oppose sex education or contraceptives. I oppose killing people, and unlike you, I consider the unborn to be people.


again, you're approaching the issue in a fundamentally authoritarian way, one that simply doesn't make sense if your alleged empathy was genuine. outlawing abortion has no noticeable effect on abortion rates, it just makes them more dangerous. what prevents unwanted pregnancies and abortions (and has the added benefit of NOT punishing women in sometimes terrible situations, like rape and incest victims) are measures like the ones i mentioned above - but unsurprisingly, republicans often oppose them, because THEIR legislation (the one you're in favour of) is religiously motivated, hence my reference to theocracy.

should you ever want to educate yourself on the issue, maybe start here: https://www.guttmacher.org/article/2020/07/unintended-pregnancy-and-abortion-income-region-and-legal-status-abortion-estimates

i know it's easier to just shout silly slogans about "protecting life" (while in reality ruining many more than you're "saving"), and push for massive government intervention restricting women's bodily autonomy, but the real world is a bit more complex than that...

The fact that any outlet used for news/mass information can be bought and influenced the wealthy is disturbing in general.

It is neither authoritarian nor libertarian to tell people that you can't kill other people. Is society being "authoritarian" to you by telling you that you can't go shoot Kyle Rittenhouse?

The “I’m quitting Twitter if Elon runs it” is the new “I’m leaving the U.S if Trump wins”


In their defense, they will have to work 4x as hard for their salaries. Tesla and Spacex are notorious for not having work-life balance (similar to Amazon) whereas Twitter....well let's just say they have a lot of fun.

If Musk ran Twitter, I'd jump ship too and work for another big tech company.

last line: "Did Musk follow through on the potentially “world hunger-ending” donation? We will have to wait to find out."

conclusion: "he has"?!

a state taking away rights from women in order to appeal to the religious / moral feelings of others seems quite authoritarian to me.

your or some religious bigot's feelings shouldn't determine what a person is. a woman is one, a zygote isn't. destroying the life of the former just because YOU believe the latter is one is evil. obviously you're free to feel about that whatever you want, and if this is what you feel, just don't get an abortion - but don't tell others to adhere to your unreasonable definitions - especially when you consistently ignore the FACT that the measures you support (brought forward by the very people who oppose measures that WOULD prevent abortions!) wouldn't even achieve the officially desired result.

if your daughter was raped and got pregnant (obviously i hope that never happens), would you force her to have the baby? no matter what that did to her emotionally? just because YOU feel like a zygote is a person and she had no right to "kill" it? i think that's incredibly cruel tbh. not that i think it's your right to determine that anyway, regardless of the circumstances.

women's rights are human rights. too bad not everyone understands that...

Conclusion: He certainly has given an absolutely enormous charitable donation to something.

That you can't see past your own (mis)conception of my position is not my fault. The "right" to kill another human being is no such thing.

Biologically speaking, there is no other point in the human life cycle where the parents' genetic offal ceases to become offal and instead becomes a new organism: conception.

I am not in a position to force my daughter to do anything, she's an adult who gets to make her own decisions. All I can hope to do is give advice that she will consider.
