yeah it's like saying Elon is only a piece of shit on his free time so it's okay

I'm not taking side here, but to be fair, Elon Musk is a shitty person doing shitty things both professionally and private. Mullvad VPN is at least only doing good things!

With that said. I have stopped using Mullvad VPN for now. We'll see how this all plays out.

gonna get downvoted to hell here but making EVs and charging infrastructure is a good thing. also rooftop solar and batteries.

still, fuck nazi elon.

edit: this isn’t even about “credit” for developing the tech or whatever. even if we all agree this stuff was going to happen with or without elon, the Tesla business is still putting these products on the market. That is good, just like Mullvad and VPN. They didn’t invent VPN or anything, they are just one (good) provider.

Those things were happening before him and continue DESPITE him. If you get downvoted it’s because you insinuated he had anything to do with that.
