"Be quiet, small man" - Elon Musk wrote this to the Polish Minister.
If this is how he treats high-ranking officials and respected people, just imagine what he thinks of the rest of us...
Pride comes before the fall.
I was planning to buy a Tesla S Plaid, but I’m backing out. As a small person, I feel unworthy of Elon...
UPDATE:
I am explaining the situation and context for those who are not familiar with it. Musk's harsh reaction was caused by the following words from Sikorski:
"The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers."
Why?
Eutelsat is ready to replace Starlink in providing internet to Ukraine, which contradicts Musk’s stance that Starlink is irreplaceable.The military use of Starlink has significant business potential for Elon. The withdrawal of Starlink from Ukraine would damage his credibility and could cost him future military contracts. Especially since it would happen during an ongoing conflict and amid concerns that internet connectivity is being used as a political tool.Musk is losing Starlink contracts (Canada, Mexico, Italy, Spain), Tesla shares have dropped nearly 38% since the beginning of the year, and the latest Starship test ended in failure—an explosion over the Bahamas...
That’s why Elon might be a little on edge...
EDIT:
Yes, of course, there is a mistake in the text—Sikorski is currently the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was the Minister of Defense in a previous government. Unfortunately, since yesterday, despite many attempts, it has not been possible to change it.
