So Starlink doesn’t want its communications system to give the Ukrainians any potential military advantage in their effort to fend of the assault of a ravenous dictator. Although its been said many times, many ways, (and deservedly so), go fuck yourself, Elon.
Could the USA simply take control of Musk's Starlink and let Musk sue them for any loss of property. Sort of like a property condemnation for a road necessary for national security. Stopping Ukraine now is certainly vital to our national security.
Wasn't it just about a year ago that Elon was getting all sorts of positive press for donating this system to Ukraine? WTF Elon, have you completely lost your decency?
I’m so curious if Musk has changed, or just revealed his true self. He’s gone from savant hero to fascist pig in a very short interval. It strikes me as one of the stranger phenomena in my lifetime, and I think it needs scientific study.
My unscientific opinion is that it is a bit of both. He's likely always been a dick, but also managed to pull off the savant thing because there wasn't much scrutiny. Now he's stepped into a bigger ring and isn't coping well with the fact that it comes with 24/7 focus on every dumbass thing he spouts off. That relentless focus is changing him, because he's becoming resentful of those who are holding him to account. They were his buddies when he was for freedom on a smaller stage and making electric cars. Now in the bigger ring they've turned on him because his faults are now glaring. So in petty man-boy fashion, he's turning on them.
He’s a bully in a state with a lapdog legislature, but moving up to the “big show” where he’ll encounter foes who can and will hit back, will be a shock. The echo chamber is a warm bath that makes life outside it a polar plunge!! Tom Cannon Asheville, NC

We need to build our own system. There’s no way someone so unstable should control something so important.

It's unclear that he ever had any.

And this makes me wonder just how badly Desantis breaks down when the National spotlight shines on him.

Greed seems to link both incarnations. He's probably just a mercenary and more of his fortune is tied to the fascists at the moment.
