for me its the arms trade.

Daniel Ek pours spotify wealth into next gen miltech.

sometimes I worry that I don't know what music means to other people but I am certain that to me it is antithetical to war culture.



I feel like Ek receives a disproportional amount of hate for this. You have all these American CEO's pouring their investments in the American war machine (Palantir, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, etc) and no one bats an eye.

Is it because this time it's going to a European company?

Actually there are a whole lot of musicians who find pride in "punching nazis" so to speak, but you are entitled to your Russian sympathies.
