Is this exchange real? Surely this can't be, right?

OK, so this is where things are now. Wow.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 week ago

Yeah I could not believe myself. But honestly people in position of power need to be out of twitter. It craves and feed on attention.

Musk has completely lost touch with reality at this point and thinks he's god.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's what being completely fucked up on disassociatives all day everyday day will do to you.

Being one the richest men in the world and completely unaccountable sure as shit doesn't help.

He's a ketamine addict, so that's probably affecting his cognitive facilities to a degree.

What are the clinical manifestations of Ketamine addiction? I'm asking honestly, because I don't know, and I wonder if he ticks the boxes.

Physical Effects

Damage to the urinary tract – Ketamine abuse can cause inflammation, scarring, and ulcers in the bladder, urethra, and kidneys. This can lead to difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and even kidney failure.

Respiratory problems – Chronic use of ketamine can result in respiratory depression and damage to the lungs.

Heart complications – Ketamine can increase heart rate and blood pressure, which can strain the cardiovascular system and lead to heart problems.

Musculoskeletal issues – Prolonged use of ketamine can cause muscle stiffness, weakness, and even paralysis.

Mental Effects

Cognitive impairment – Long-term abuse of ketamine can impair cognitive function, including memory loss, decreased attention span, and difficulty with problem-solving.

Mood disorders – Ketamine abuse has been linked to the development of mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

Addiction – Like many other drugs, ketamine can be highly addictive and can lead to psychological dependence. Chronic users may struggle with cravings and withdrawal symptoms when attempting to quit.

Thanks! Wonder if Elon gets on Twitter to kill the time while he's straining to piss

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

I bet on "difficulty with problem solving" + paranoia considered how stupidly he's running the whole stuation.

Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11

Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12

Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14

Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16

Given Musk's latest remarks, they need to implement an alternative yesterday. I fully expect Starlink to be cut on Monday.

He makes ambigious statements (I read the linke nitter link). Eutelsat OneWeb is available now. If it is robust against russian jamming needs to be seen.

Iris2 won't be available before end 2030s or so. But there is another European goverment constellation they mentioned.

Edit It was govsatcom. Source: https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-to-help-ukraine-replace-musks-starlink/ and Infos about the Constellation https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/eu-space/govsatcom-satellite-communications_en

Others are also considered: https://mil.in.ua/en/news/eu-negotiates-starlink-replacement-for-ukraine-with-four-satellite-operators/

It is real and my biggest concern right now is that European politicians seem so quiet about this. This conversation, including Rubio's comment, is scandalous.

Why couldn’t it be. I don’t understand at this point how people can read shit like this and go ‘no way he would say that’
