Giving Elon cash seems still wrong to me.

Yea. I can't stress this enough -- my life would need to be unquestionably on the line for me to give elon anything other than grief.

Worse than giving to Sama? (I mean that honestly.)

I think most would say yes? The sheer amount of misery Elon has caused with the DOGE antics would alone qualify, IMO.

I'm not part of the Musk fan club either, you can count on that.

However, I've been using Cursor since it came out. I have a massive amount of institutional knowledge locked into their platform, and vastly prefer it to the other options available even if the switching costs were zero.

Going through what would amount to significant effort/time/cost to switch to a different coding tool as a sort of performative political rebuke is just not how I would recommend anyone protest DOGE.
