When the war was turning in Ukraine’s favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.
Which is why Starlink needs to be confiscated and managed by NATO. Somebody has to operate it, and it should be an entity who is on the side of Freedom amd Democracy.
It’s not that easy to confiscate sattelites
Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.
I don’t think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.
When it comes to stuff like this, the USA is like a tax heaven: outside of international jurisdiction and never signed any cooperation agreement with foreign powers. The USA is the best place to run shady business right now
Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.
They’re presumably talking about the Kursk Oblast.Edit: probably not, see responses.IIRC that was long after that. The initial shutoff of Starlink happened around the explosions targeting the Crimean bridge and them introducing their naval drones.
Close. There was a geobarrier that he refused to remove. Because attacks against Russia are aggression.
Don’t let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.

It’s faster, cheaper, and on the tech side more reliable (definitely not politically reliable though).
My guess is better coverage and latency with its sheer number of satellites.
They use low earth orbit, which require them to use more satellites, but lowered latency.
Technically, and this is purely semantics, coverage is the major downside to starlink. They are faster, though.
The coverage of satellites has an exponential factor of the distance of that satellite to earth. If you had the satellite further out then its signal could reach a wider area before being cut off by the curvature of the earth. However, as the distance increases, so does latency.
He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.
He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He’s a Nazi coward even when it’s just talking…
Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too…
Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin’ Russia over nepo-baby “gamer”, “engineer” Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol

Putin is 5’ 7", like 160 lbs, and 70 years old. Elon is 6’2", probably 200 lbs, and 52 years old.
I don’t think fitness and training can overcome 20 years, 50 lbs, and a full head of height.
It’s Zuck and Elon not Elon and Putin.
The Tweet linked in the OP is Musk claiming that he challenged Putin to a fist fight.
“Be quiet small man”… smallest dick energy I’ve seen today.
Isn’t it becoming quite widely known now that he’s gotten a bad penile implant?
Dick so small he probably drives a Cybertruck.
Musk is gonna be copping a lot of that in response to his tweets now.
Elon Musk’s atoms are poorly arranged for maximizing utility to the human race and would be better served if they were rearranged into fertilizer for feedcrops. At present they are just in a cloud of un-thought. Utilitarianism must be respected.

How do you speak our language?
Nationalize SpaceX and deport Musk to South Africa where he belongs.
(Ok maybe nationalize it under the next administration… if there is a next one)
I have a question is an immigrant allowed to be vice president ?
No right ?
VP has the same requirements as President, which exclude Musk because he isn’t a citizen by birth. Musk was essentially put in the highest possible position he could be that didn’t require him to be elected or confirmed by Congress.
Which is why he needed a puppet to be President for him. I don’t know that he ideally wanted a puppet he’d have to time-share with Putin, but that’s the puppet he bought.
And I firmly believe that aside from the occasional going off script as a kind of tantrum that Trump is entirely a puppet - consider the narcissism and desire to exude power that he has, and then look at him in the photos of that meeting where Elon was in the Oval Office with little Kevlar Musk and just how defeated Trump looks. He knows his choices were win office or be buried by the courts, and he signed whatever deals with whatever devils were necessary to guarantee it happened, he’s owned by Elon and Putin, he knows it and that eats at him.
That’s right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp
Maybe Trump was born somewhere else…
Is he calling people small now to compensate for his fat ass looking like Doctor Robotnik?
Abandon fucking Starlink and use Eutelsat. Poland should also stop buying US made weapon systems.
As much as I hate Elmo, you can fold Starlink terminal flat and put in a backpack and it weights around 6 kilogram and costs around $500, Eutelsat „portable” OW70L is fucking chonky dome that weights 30 kilos, costs $2000 and needs to be transported in a car. They need to seriously up their game, and do it fast.
Thankgod we’re already working hard on that…
If America was a real country this guy would’ve immediately been removed from any and all companies he runs.
Does SpaceX not have a board?
There is no substitute for Starlink"
The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?

I can’t fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!
Twitters UI confuses me. Where do I start? What’s the next one? And where’s the end?
It starts in the middle. It’s smaller and indented because it’s then being quoted by the Polish minister on top. Then Elon, fuckwit that he is, responds at the bottom.
How is that coherent lol. What happens when 4 or 6 tweets are twoted?
It was never meant to be used like this, and Twitter just never changed it out of pure stubborn bullshit
The original idea is that you’d retweet something, say something like “check out this bullshit” and then read the re-tweet, but people regularly use it as a reply feature that boosts to their audience instead and so this UI insanity happens
