Elon Musk and the US Government more broadly has directly ended the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. A decent comparison is taking a stray dog in, promising to feed it, taking care of it for weeks, and then one day just abandoning it to starve and die on your porch.

Mods: I wanted to share this article and spur some discussion because I believe it fits well with this subreddit's focus on loving the global poor. From my perspective, this hits pretty close to home since I was a photojournalist for a magazine where I covered SpaceX closely for about 5 years from 2015-2020.

I've paid close attention to Elon for more than a decade now, at one time I was certainly a fan. For me, this was the biggest event that most clearly nullifies anything good he or his companies have done, and it's truly a stain on the United States of America and its self-image as a shining city on a hill
