Musk’s bodyguards have the opportunity to be heroes of the world right now. They would go down in history as great men.
Interesting. So it won’t happen unless musk specifically does it. So if musk is not around then it could not happen. Very good to know.
That fact that he made that comment would cause every other country to second guess themselves using this service. Starlink is now going to be a US service for the most part. My opinion anyway…who knows these days.
Anyone not already second guessing would be fools.
Meanwhile, Europe is pursuing replacements for Ukraine. Obviously none as good as Starlink and there’ll be a rough time in the switchover, but Musk is not the only source for this kind of service.
And in the meantime, by merely making this statement Musk has doomed Starlink to never be seriously considered again as a provider for critical services like this elsewhere in the world.
That really will do wonders for the “don’t buy American” waves that’s washing over Europe at the moment.
I didn’t need much more of a motivation, but yeah, that really helps cementing the idea.
But it made him feel really important for a while, which is all that matters.
We’ll need to surround every Tesla store with cops. It will be like crossing a picket line to buy one, and should be protested as such.
We need to learn from France. https://electrek.co/2025/03/03/a-dozen-tesla-cars-burned-at-store-arson-is-suspected-amid-global-protests/
Fuck yeah.
Eutelsat, now is the time for haste. Let’s replace that asshole.
That’s why you don’t trust these cunts. They’re fucking evil. Also, PACE motherfucker.
Primary, alternate, contingency, emergency [comms] planning. For the uninitiated.
Broadcasting his intention like this really puts a target on his back. He should be more careful… or not, I’ve stocked up on popcorn.
It would be a shame if the government relieved him of his ownership/control after discovering the company useful for national defense. It won’t be Trump but I hope that’s the result of the next election.
In the meantime, it looks like his businesses are circling the drain.
the next election.
I do love an optimist.
Ukraine will help you switch it off with fireworks.
I would love if Ukraine shot these pieces of shit out of the sky, that would be so funny.
I don’t think it will, but it will surely feel the effects.
This is not strictly speaking full-blown betrayal of Ukraine, it just seems that problems remaining unresolved and becoming bigger due to this war being in focus - have become bigger than Ukrainian war from their (that group) point of view.
The US is the only big power to condemn massacres of Alawites in Syria happening right now, some others have basically blamed the victims, so maybe not all they do is wrong. It’s just words, but at least the right words.
If Ukraine accepts whatever peace deal they are trying to impose upon it, it’ll still have much more than it would had it surrendered in 2022. In some sense it’d be a win for them. Peace works for Ukraine - their economy is less resource-based than that of Russia, thus requiring competent people and comfortable social climate, not that of war.
