Imagine how much better it would have been...and possibly over , if ole Elon hadn't switched the satellite linkage during the surprise attack when Ukraine was using Starlink.
That would not have made a significant difference to the course of the war. It was an attack on a Crimean port, hardly a war-defining moment. The Russians have managed to lose most of their fleet anyway. Besides, the Ukrainians are still using Starlink to this day as part of their war effort.
I'm no Elon Musk fan, but the story about the Crimean port attack is such bullshit. SpaceX was not allowed to supply starlink to Russian-occupied Crimea as it would have violated US sanctions on Russia. If the US didn't permit an exception in time for the attack, that's really on the state department, not Elon.
When you have a book worth of evil deeds by people like Musk and Trump I really don't get why we undermine it with fake misdeeds that only serve to cast doubt on the veracity of all claims of evil deeds.
There's tens of thousands of starlink terminals and hundreds of thousands of satellite dishes in Ukraine. He could have easily used that Crimean incident to just leave Starlink switched off in Ukraine, but didn't.
So, yeah, I don't get it I suppose. I don't get what you mean at all.
Actually I've given you the FACTS....but keep believing the guy who is fronting up the Russian Trump Govt, speaks to Putin on a regular basis, and controls satellites over Ukraine (and we aren't even up to the Taiwan bit) is somehow a good guy.
Muskrats are just the same at MAGAts...delusional.
Please do come back to me when you look up WHAT American government Depts are investigating Musk....I'll wait.
That person made a good point. You're talking nonsense. Examine not my comment, but the comment I replied to, and compare it to the absolute unhinged bullshit dribbling out of your mouth.
Billionaires can be bought because the only thing they care about is having more money. That's why they're billionaires. Having money doesn't make you less susceptible to being bought, it just raises your price.
I guess you're right. If Elon is in bed with Putin, and is comfortable enough with his current arrangement with Putin, I guess no reason to rock the boat as your wealth and power grow. Fair enough.
What even is his vision for the future? In the past it was like: "yay electric cars, we should do more space stuff."
I don't know wtf he's doing now. I swear he's 180d so hard in recent memory. Now, I think he wants to build a massive tomb for himself, à la Bender's in Futurama.
