Helsing is currently helping Ukraine. It's easy to say "military bad" when you're in the US, but for Daniel Ek it's about self-preservation. As a fellow Scandinavian, I fully support him investing in defense tech.

It has shareholders which benefit from killing people, and who benefit more from war proliferating. How do you think that turns out in the long run? How has it turned out for Ukraine?

War companies sell war, and they sell it to evil people (see Israel's apartheid and genocide in Gaza). The privatization of war is bad for everybody.
