A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

If you didn’t want Elon to make these sorts of decisions then you shouldn’t have voted with your wallets to make him the richest person in the world. If you don’t like the way he’s using his OWN space satellite company to aid or not aid a country at war, then how about start YOUR own space satellite company to compete with him? Then you can let the Ukraine use your satellites to sink the Russian navy free of charge if you’re so magnanimous.
Not all of us were born with the emerald spoon in mouth he was. Its not as simple as Elon Musk is the richest person on earth because everyone thought his products were good and cool, or so simple as anyone with a dream can just go out and found a satellite company
Don't feed the trolls...
I realized what I'd done when I got a reply
Not everyone is BORN with an emerald spoon but with a little gumption and a few emeralds, anybody can make their own.
We're not the ones who made him what he is. ~~Most of his money came from his family's emerald mines in Africa.~~ Correction: The emerald mine is just what made him rich in the first place.
Most of the money came from goverment either in subsidies, or defense contracts for starlink, and tesla's inflated stock that is not based in reality.
Of course! You're completely right. The emerald mine was what got him started. My mistake.
NP, he wouldn't have never gotten started with his bullshit without that money, so it is valid to point that out.
Elon?
This is lemmy. That's why you are getting downvoted.
