    Sawchuk would not disclose how much money he received for the junk, but said he was satisfied with the compensation, which will go toward helping build a new rink in the community.

    “We got something for the skating rink in Ituna and that’s what it was always about,” he said.

    Elon Musk would call this guy a fool for helping his community and making it a better place. I’m glad this at least cost his company some money.

      Lawler suggests that he’s getting around $5000 per piece and there were three pieces, so that’s around $15k going to the local skating rink.

          But you do know exactly what Elon would say?

          Your projecting because by injecting your own assumptions into his motivations, you’re turning Elon into the villain you want him to be. It’s a natural thing to do, people are complicated and they’re easier to imagine as black and white, good or evil, hero or villain. It’s just not real.

              So you’re doubling down? You do know what other people are thinking? Must be nice.

              My entire point was that it doesn’t make sense to judge someone for something they absolutely didn’t say.

              Feel free to judge them on things they have said, that’s fine. And musk has in fact said and done a bunch of awful things, which is exactly why you just don’t need to make shit up.

              Edit: Hey look, I’m not expecting you to agree with me (this is the Internet, people don’t just change their minds), so I’m just going to drop it.

                exactly why you just don’t need to make shit up.

                Exactly this! Its counter productive to adressing the legitimate criticisms. This happened with Trump all the time. They want you to make stuff up so they can just say fake news to the real nasty shit they’re actually doing.
