When is he going to jail again? He profited from selling overpriced stocks and colluded with enemies of the state.
So is he getting investigated for aiding an enemy of America during a time of war?
Just like gps, a global ring of satellites are of vital interest to the defense of the United States. We need to create set of global satellites to replace the star link model.
No longer should nato subsides be sent to starlink.
Does he think starlink is an orbital cannon or something.
Meanwhile the NSA, CIA, DoD, and probably Biden himself having full access to the entire network because military industrial complex go brrrrrrr
That is not exactly true. While it is true that the military brought Starlinks over to Poland and Musk gave 1500 units to Ukraine as well. There was a lot of back and forth because technically you are not supposed to use a commercial product for actual military operations. For everday activities it was fine but when Ukraine started sending drone feeds over the systems and supplied those feeds to the US Forces, it sort of crossed a line and they had to start negotiating the terms in the contracts as well as scaling back the usage. So all along Musk has been walking a fine line with being complicit with his tech being used for war and trying to avoid it.
Let me clarify I am not a Musk apologist, I am just adding some context. I still do not like that he can seemingly over reach like this, but if the terms were not in place and negotiating was not done he is within his rights.
Not respecting an emergency government request and working in Russian favour, another brilliant move from mr. Musk!
Call him before congress to ask about this.
Take over his shitty company already. He is actively aiding US enemies.
The US government has also bought terminals for Ukraine. That makes me hopeful that they'll keep Musk from being able to make these sorts of decisions in the future so their investment will be the most useful it can be.
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
