If you didn’t want Elon to make these sorts of decisions then you shouldn’t have voted with your wallets to make him the richest person in the world. If you don’t like the way he’s using his OWN space satellite company to aid or not aid a country at war, then how about start YOUR own space satellite company to compete with him? Then you can let the Ukraine use your satellites to sink the Russian navy free of charge if you’re so magnanimous.
We’re not the ones who made him what he is. Most of his money came from his family’s emerald mines in Africa. Correction: The emerald mine is just what made him rich in the first place.
Most of the money came from government either in subsidies, or defense contracts for Starlink; and tesla’s inflated stock that is not based in reality.

Of course! You’re completely right. The emerald mine was what got him started. My mistake.
Not all of us were born with the emerald spoon in mouth he was. Its not as simple as Elon Musk is the richest person on earth because everyone thought his products were good and cool, or so simple as anyone with a dream can just go out and found a satellite company
I think a picture of my asshole will suffice.
Makes one wish that various intelligence agencies were a fifth as competent as they’re portrayed.
… at least for a few moments.
They are competent, but they work for billionaire interests and musk is a billionaire. One can dream though
They’re a mixed bag, but nowhere near as competent as people think they are. The CIA spent 50 years trying to assassinate Castro, until a natural fucking death got him. And we’ve got the best intelligence agency in the world. That’s the best we’ve got to offer. 50 years to kill a single man, and we still failed.
Fact of the matter is intelligence work is tricky to begin with, and trying to leverage intelligence into action is harder by an order of magnitude.
Me too. Just for a few minutes.
I’m very close talker.
It’s time to nationalize Starlink & SpaceX.

I really don’t know what that would actually accomplish. How would any government benefit from doing that kind of a move, especially when the reason seems to just be that Elon is a douche, and that doesn’t seem like a valid reason to do such things. Hell, even if we were to count this kind of blatant aiding of an enemy country as treason, I doubt this would be an appropriate response.
If anything, it might just set a dangerous precedent and in general be against the very same liberal values which are exactly why we’re helping Ukraine against the foreign imperial occupier. Arbitrary nationalisation of the assets of politically inconvenient people is the kind of stuff that an autocratic regime such as the Russian Federation under Vova would do. And that’s the kind of thing it actually does do, defenestration of political rivals is a convenient way to accomplish many goals, after all.
Doesn’t the United States already have military communication satellites? If they wanted to give network connectivity to Ukranian drones, I’m pretty sure they could have done so as well.
bandwidth/latency might be an issue, but I’m not sure since I’m not an expert
