If you think doing something and helping do something are just semantically different, I can't discuss this with you. Because they're just not, not at all. Claiming that to just be semantics is the kind of playing with language used by propagandists.

so because helping to combat world hunger would only help, and not necessarily solve it entirely, then there's no point in even attempting to help?
asking again: should we give Musk the benefit of the doubt here?

Not at all what I said. I'm saying that if you want results, start with discussing costs/benefits honestly and accurately.

up until elon musk bought tweeter. he was the greatest person since sliced bread. now that he owns tweeter, he bad.
Musk was, is and forever will be a horrible excuse for a human being. He made a lot of money by making a companion app for assisting payments with eBay purchases. He bought an existing startup with his newfound wealth. For the record, Tesla existed before Musk

I dunno if Musk's wealth was ever "newfound"
wasn't he born privileged into a family of apartheid emerald mine owners?

yea, I don't think he deserves the benefit of the doubt either.
if we really wanna discuss costs/benefits honestly and accurately...
I'm tempted to ask whether there might be costs or benefits to considering economic systems designed to actually provide basic human needs like food, weighed against the costs and benefits of doubling down on economic systems designed to hoard wealth for the individuals who are shameless enough to hoard it, but I don't really feel like going full Qusdahl today, and besides, this isn't even the pols bored.

Your view of what liberals love(d) couldn’t be farther from the truth. Maybe the one liberal you know loves Musk. Most liberals are smart enough to know the difference between the product and the person behind the brand.

was he, though?
If we may actually nitpick ideologies, while "liberalism" does value things like equality, it still very much espouses things like "free markets," and capitalism as the dominant economic system.
Put another way, liberals support equality but more so on social matters, cuz they're also prone to undermining that sense of equality on economic matters.
and I just don't Jesus would jive with that. In fact, Jesus very explicitly condemned the hoarding of wealth, as well as inequalities of both social and economic sorts.
in other words, Jesus was prob closer to being some kinda proto-commie.
Not that that should surprise anyone, though I suppose it still will...what next, you gonna act surprised to learn Jesus didn't have blond hair and blue eyes too?

Don’t forget the holy spirit too!
They’re all the same thing. But also 3 different things. It makes sense if you don’t think about it.
