Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@SteveKing-e9l says : Trump wants the minerals after the war. Did Musk intend to get the lithium from somewhere else? Fairly certain neither will get preferred customer status authentication end of the war.>> <<@asdf0747 says : when you owe a bank 500k, you can go to prison. But if you owe a bank $100mm or more, then you can't go to prison for those delicious interest payments.>> <<@nikitatarsov5172 says : Yeah, what forward looking military ... or goverment by that extent, would ever do such insanetly (2025 timemachine speaking) xD>> <<@NightRogue77 says : 12:22 welllllllllll…… not QUITE his “last ditch” effort to save SpaceX, he says as Musk rifles through the US treasury>> <<@Irishnobody4581 says : Watching this in 2025 and seeing with sad hindsight this was all part of Musks Plan K to scam US taxpayers and enrich himself with US taxpayer money funded on vapourware lies all the way to the White House and beyond. And now is able to be pardoned for the destruction to humanity.>> <<@tsenotanev says : well the fact that he totally falls for the anti russian propaganda is kinda disturbing..>> <<@terranu1 says : 100$ in Ukraine is like 30% of minimum wage there.>> <<@manoman0 says : It amazes me that people actually think there's stuff for free. "We have free healthcare!" Yeah, come on, man.>> <<@patrickday4206 says : You do realize that a special high bandwidth connection that must be insanely secure to prevent Russia from hacking which Russia is known for. The first people that had access to the starlink satellites were the United States government he is likely charging what they were paying>> <<@C.Paterson says : I've seen Russians and Ukranians claim that the Russians are using starlink on the front line as well. I imagine if Musk wasn't a greedy psychopath he could easily end this but it carries on>> <<@6teeth318-w5k says : For future reference, I was here. ™>> <<@6teeth318-w5k says : Me-Putin, You-Kraine>> <<@futureme8719 says : Sorry, who exactly stopped the gas to europe? It wasnt putins first idea and c'mon, if you go to war you need all the money you can get.. European leaders and especially the germans did dig their own grave regarding gas from russia.>> <<@EikTuKaTu says : What is the instance you can name when Russia blackmailed with gas supply any country? I do live in Europe and at least in the past 30 years I don't recall single instance. I know there was a US/UK propaganda campaign about this, but there was never gas flow interruptions, nor threats to interrupt gas supply. I believe US have threatened to shut it off after nordstream disaster.>> <<@csnipper524 says : Every time i think Elon can't be more of a scumbag, i get proven wrong.>> <<@csnipper524 says : Don't know what's worse, this or him geofencing Ukraine in order to limit their attack abilities on Russia. Maybe Russia is donating to Starlink? This clown has no business interfering in a country fighting an invasion.>> <<@alsto8298 says : You are a cool guy Phil, but please, do not go in politics - you are terribly bad at factchecking there. Literally every political statement you've said here is a confirmed lie by now. Still, Musk supporting nazi regime even with that big of an extra fee can't be positioned as something moral.>> <<@sn0wchyld says : This entire vid is a pile mate. Even a cursory glance at starlinks website gives clues to why its costing so much - plans there range up to 25k per month... not 150. Ask the same of any mobile provider.... a business/military plan will cost multiples more than a 'personal' one. Same goes for vehicles... a military spec hummer costs more than your average h3. Clearly the military can just use h3s right? right? SMH. And so far as I can tell... musk stated the 'usual cost' of the plan, not the amount he's charging Ukraine. IE net revenue loss, not what he was charging. FUCK mate its on the very vid you were watching if you screenshoted it 1/2 a second earlier... they claim the net COST is about 21m a month - just over 1k per service... not 4500. Its on the NEXT fucking LINE for gods sake. Similar to the # you get by dividing 400m by 20k, and then by 12... 1600 per month. but nah, cnn told you 4500 so thats what it is. And further, 'it doesn't cost extra now the systems in place' - fucking bulshit. Tell that to your ISP, or web service provider, or mobile provider or ANY other infrastructure provider... 'oh hey you've built it so it doesn't cost anything more to run for 4-5x the users'. oh and blocking someone is not censorship... fuck me... all musk did is say 'im not talking to you'... he (alex) is still active in 2023... even on X. Not censored at all. Fuck me mate... the musk hate is clouding your judgement something fierce. I expect better than this from you... cause this is nonsense. 58 seconds on https://edition.cnn.com/videos/tech/2022/10/14/elon-musk-company-spacex-ukraine-russia-marquardt-ebof-pkg-vpx.cnn>> <<@MrZevv says : I cannot..... Musk is such an .... no. The Master of Free Speach but... only if its what he likes>> <<@iwsutw says : Hi Thunderfoot, can you bust AGI and ASI?>> <<@CRITICALHITRU says : Charging 4500$ per month for networking is a blessing for Ukraine.>> <<@derywade9131 says : Just Curious about something from this video that is over a year old. Thunderf00t's hate boner for Musk is well documented, as is his Twitter slacktivism for Ukraine. But I was wondering, especially now that Ukraine and Zelenskyy are reduced to begging for support, what would a fairly successful Doctor/Scientist/Youtuber like Thunderf00t be willing to donate in order to keep sending Ukrainian men out to die on the front lines? I mean, Elon Musk is not willing to give out free internet or anything. But maybe a super soiboi like Thunderf00t would be willing to help pay for it?>> <<@SteenyBean says : Just recently discovered you 😊 I’m so sick n tired of these greed pigs … we’re not broke, we just don’t have the connections and hundreds of millions in family money to sell our delusional 7 year old kid fantasies … I’m sick and tired of paying my taxes … why? So we can take care of illegal immigrants, fund wars that we have nothing to do with, and line the pockets of these disgusting dishonest politicians and their cronies … why do we take this and even ask for more everyday? B>> <<@Igor-ug1uo says : The biggest military application for Starlink is simply long-range communication. A good example would be its use by Ukrainian troops in Mariupol. According to some officers, they had very big problems with communication until they got the Starlink delivered to them. Another use, as I understand, was for controlling sea drones that attacked Russian navy ships.>> <<@simon2493 says : And it turns out you were mostly right about US militarny, while Musk formally is still providing services for them he was forced to separate it, and give up control over it to pentagon.>> <<@SRDPS2 says : I wonder how USA store their online document store on civilian cloud seem have chance of being read by average WarT hunder player>> <<@bryanmcdonald4351 says : Damn thunder foot. Did you hear musk was sabotaging missions by cutting off starlink?>> <<@denysvlasenko1865 says : Starlink in Ukraine is massively used by Ukrainian troops. For example, for comms, and to transmit video and imagery from drones. As military equipment goes, $4000 per month is almost nothing. A single 152 or 155mm shell costs ~$3000. They are fired in the thousands every day, and anything that helps them land on targets worth its weight in gold.>> <<@siassmal6502 says : I have to use starlink where i live, on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I don't like it, but its all I can get.>> <<@sae2705 says : What still boggles me is that people are like "he's a philanthropist whose motivation is the betterment of humanity", but everytime I might want to give the man the benefit of the doubt there's always more to the story, I was so close to with Ukraine as well, like, maybe I hate him but I am glad people are so against this war and that people are chipping it and that he choose to do some good. I like to give credit where it's due. And then the examples of "good guy Elon" not being "good guy Elon" are damning: "I will buy Twitter to save free speech, it's not about the money, I am a free speech absolutist" "I will not buy Twitter, because I am paying too much for it even though it's what I agreed and was allegedly prepared to pay." "I have bought Twitter because it turns out I cannot back out this late in the game. Also, this is not a platform for free speech absolutism and here, I don't know how to run a social media company and lets make all these detrimental decisions in the name of saving money & increasing profit. But it's not about the money, it's free speech...please pay $8 a month to elevate your speech above others'" "I will work with Bill Gates on this charitable thing because I am sure a good guy who cares" "I will not work with Bill Gates because it turns he is short selling Tesla stock and now I will keep feeding bad press about him. That's more important than the people I'd have helped." "I will donate Starlink to Ukraine to aid their efforts, because I am a good guy and the war is wrong." "I have backlash from Russia" "I will negotiate a deal that favours Russia not Ukraine." "Turns out Ukraine didn't like that & had some choice words to say about it. Well miraculously Starlink is getting too expensive to run, see these are the running costs, which are a tiny fraction of my wealth. Somebody will have to pay up." "I will save those minors with my outlandish idea, because I am good guy" "Oh somebody has the audacity to criticise me for a PR stunt & to rescue them himself, well time to call the guy a pedo" "Twitter should be apolitical without bias & not favour any political leaning, and I believe in combatting misinformation" "BTW I am going to push a load of pro-Republican BS and conspiracy theories and keep putting out misinformation, including harmful stuff, to you know, really show my commitment to this cause. Oh and don't be concerned that 'Truth AI' will be a platform for misinformation.". "The UN has claims about how much money is needed to solve world hunger, I will pay the money is they can provide their data to show this." -The UN Provides this- "This is bullshit, and I won't give the money, regardless of how many people it could actually help. But you know, for the betterment of humanity and all that." Like believe the guy can do what he likes with his money, whilst I will have disagreements about how hording wealth is an immoral thing (not to be confused with 'being rich') at least accept he's not the "good guy Elon" he tries to present himself as.>> <<@ShakaCthulu says : Fell off watching your vids years ago for no real reason, nice to see you calling out this corporate welfare queen.>> <<@dezzlok says : Teflon Elon strikes again.>> <<@kaekae4010 says : Elon Just repeated the lie of the 100m donation to Ukraine (stralink services) as a response to King.>> <<@ModHarryDresden says : Less money going to Ukraine? Sign me up!>> <<@pastel_xaos says : Thank you for shedding light on this! Greetings from Ukraine 💙💛>> <<@johnfadds6089 says : War is expensive, bro. Either pay up or surrender to the enemy.>> <<@vids595 says : He gave it to them for free and then they had to talk shit so he decided they can pay.>> <<@RichardWatt says : Elon Musk: Vaporware Absolutist.>> <<@pumpuppthevolume says : they need starlink to watch thunderfoot videos of course>> <<@hermitgreenn says : It's baffling that Starlink - satellite internet - charges extra for the option to move around. Isn't it the whole point of satellite anything?>> <<@bradymenting5120 says : part of me wants to blame his incompetence for "accidentally" billing people at the wrong rates, but then I remember that malice and stupidity are not mutually exclusive>> <<@mina_en_suiza says : I originally came to your channel for the extremely cool science experiments, unsubscribed when you jumped the alt-right "feminists are evil" waggon, but now I'm back. This exposing of Musk as the con-man he is, is in fact wonderful.>> <<@КирилоХацько says : thank you from Ukraine>> <<@HellWatcher117 says : Don't doubt how much an officer wants normal internet in the FOB. We had to set up a V-SAT Large so our Colonel could have emails and complain about why he wasn't allowed on Facebook.>> <<@SpydersByte says : absolutely disgusting. No wonder he got boo'ed offstage at the Chapelle show, this makes that all the sweeter. Maybe people are FINALLY catching on to this conman? One can hope.>> <<@vlada says : war profiteering should only be allowed for the Raytheon, BAE and other winners of the military industrial complex.>> <<@Mrchadmam says : I'm not on Ukraine side or Russia's I think they're both corrupt countries and the Ukraine is not a democracy they lock up political adversaries and they also lock up journalist that against the government I think the USA and everyone else should stay out of this I think Elon Musk is making a good decision he should pull Sterling from ukraine period>> <<@christopherhoyt7195 says : @2:27. Hi, it's the spelling gestapo again! Dodge with two D's please, and no accidental endorsements of a bogus crypto coin owned by Musk's puppet master. But otherwise, another illuminating video confirming what I suspected, Musk is not giving away Starlink service, just the receivers. In the past I never paid for my satellite TV equipment, before, just a crazy bill to watch an all new season of Anthony Bourdain...12 new episodes. Talk about taking the word season literally at 3 months. Cancel service, I'm not paying $75 a month to watch reruns most of the year.>> <<@stuartpenman6387 says : show the accounts and invoices for your claims>> <<@thorakvideos2495 says : I just found out this channel exists from Adam Something & I'm not surprised that Youtube didn't recommend this channel to me. They love their censorship! This is amazing, I love this type of content :)>>
