Yes, Elon is terrible. But, Elon provided consequential Starlink terminals for Ukraine at an essential time. Let's recognize Elon's endless buffet of terrible does includes a good dish. Elon subsequently managed to muck that up by claiming he would stop funding Starlink. As far as I know Elon continues to support / fund Starlink. I commend Elon for supporting Ukraine.

He threatened to pull the funding about six weeks ago.

Then the military asked for funds to create their own network and he got very quiet very quickly.

He is often at his best when he is quiet.

He has done some amazing things. Do you think he may be having a midlife crises or possibly low blood sugar?

Unbounded ambition, weak impulse control, brilliance, and shamelessness enable Elon to do amazingly good and amazingly bad things. Elon is capable of being so much better than he is.
