Sounds about right. Rich people don’t get rich by giving away hand outs. They get rich by being assholes.

And I'm sure UPS will get your free $400 internet to you just as soon as services are restored and you won't need it.
Fucking hell - Verizon, Sprint and AT&T also, apparently have free Helene deals on offer! And Comcast (or whatever the hell they rebranded too) has six months and their nipple flaps at the ready!
Comcast (or whatever the hell they rebranded too)
Xfinity, although I prefer my head canon on which they rebranded to Crapcast

Now it makes me think that he was mad. He didn't get to build the sub and save those kids because he was going to charge them to get in... Or make them sign away their rights or something.
You know if the fucker literally just shipped a couple of these to like local government officials and asked them to be installed in libraries or whatever and then gave free internet with the idea that it would be shared access.
He could probably get all the good will, government officials might buy in for emergency connection access and get more money and people would have all that warm fuzzy feelings of remembering when they joined together and had community and internet thanks to this horse bartering fucker.
But no, he had to want some extra cash he doesn't need.
I don't get the wealthy.
Elon, it's a great gesture, I'm sure those poor people will be delighted to at least be able to communicate freely.
It's nothing, I... Hold on, did you say poor? How about we changed the plan a bit?
Each time you go outside and look at the sky remember that at last 3 or 4 Elon Musk private company satellites are looking at you. Everywhere you go at any given time.
