You think Elon gives a rats ass about net neutrality?
Net Neutrality is a dead concept and has been for years, there’s no walking it back
Why are enemies of the United States allowed to own national security infrastructure?
They are allowed to be president and run for re-election too so I wouldn’t hold my breath
I don’t think Musk qualifies, being South African though.
They were talking about Trump.
Seriously the US needs to take Starlink away from Musk. Its a national security issue at this point.
Defense production act takeover when?
I always knew Elon was a Russian bitch but this proves it
maybe if starlink was being sold to russians lmao.
starlink said they are not interested in being used for war, you expect a bunch of civilians behind it to be responsible for human death?? do you even fucking consider what that implies lol?
this is them making a statement that says “look, you’re killing people who deserve it but we’re not willing to be reliable either way for if you die bc we fuck up or if you kill other humans thanks to this tech”
could you imagine the media SHITSTORM if they agreed? “WARMONGER MUSK working responsible for innumerable deaths”
As an oligarch, he stands with the other Russian oligarch who need and benefit from this war. If the rouble is at an historical low, the ones who have money in other currencies have an historical purchasing power in Russia…
was driven by an acute fear that Russia would respond to a Ukrainian attack on Crimea with nuclear weapons
That man is stupid. He can do with Twitter whatever he wants, but someone like him shouldn’t have control over what the Ukrainian army can and can’t do.
To be fair the Ukrainian army knew that they were not supposed to use Starlink for military purposes. The company entered into a contract with the Ukranian government particularily for civilian use.
But yeah, I still agree with you.
He’s regurgitating a Russian talking point. That’s not him being stupid, it’s him spouting propaganda.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
Musk is the personification of that saying.
All these (I’m guessing) stock photos of Elmo are amazing! He looks like an idiot in all of them!
Arrest this treasonous scumbag. Slava Ukraini!
As much as I despise Musk for being a total piece of shit, this isn’t treason. Technically, we aren’t even allies with Ukraine. The argument could certainly be made that this works against the interests of the United States, but that alone isn’t treason because it isn’t a crime for citizens to oppose the US, especially when it’s private property the US is being lent. Because at that time, the US hadn’t signed a contract with Musk yet.
If he did this again, then it would be a breach of contract, but still wouldn’t be treason. People being charged with treason is very rare, because it’s a such a high bar to meet.
This still makes him an enemy of Ukraine though
This guy aided the Kremlin. He’s helping russians in their genocide of Ukrainian children. Fuck that pile of shit and lock him up.
I agree. I’m just saying, he’s not guilty of treason.
That would be up to a court to decide that.
I never claimed he was. But he’s guilty of being an ally of russia
arrest this treasonous scumbag
You literally just did
I accused him of being treasonous – which he ABSOLUTELY IS. End of discussion.
No he’s not by definition. He isn’t Ukrainian so he can’t commit treason against the Ukrainian people. He didn’t commit any treasonous acts against the US or our allies here either (Ukraine is not an US ally last I checked).
I despise Musk and pretty much everything he stands for. I think it’s borderline societal insanity to allow private industry to put satellites in space and think it takes a certain kind of awful megalomaniac to think they can control that infrastructure single handedly. But saying he’s treasonous for this? That cheapens the word when you use it against people that ARE treasonous. For instance when certain ex-Presidents decide to steal classified documents despite numerous warnings…
This is the very definition of treason. What you’re talking about is messing with words. The bare fact is that musk betrayed the trust you could have with him or any business he has any power into.
In brief, it may not be a legal crime in your country, but it is the very definition of betrayal. He acted against the interests of nato and in favour of an enemy of nato. You can hardly deny that, but the law and this scumbag are about technicalities, not morale or justice.
Treason =/= betrayal.
You can only commit treason against your own country, or at most against a coalition of allied forces. Since Ukraine is not a NATO member, he couldn’t commit an act of treason against the NATO either (if that’s even a thing), since the NATO has not formally allied with Ukraine either. They have sanctioned Russia and condemned the war, but have not openly declared Russia an enemy.
“How am I in this war?” Musk asks Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”
Musk, transparent as ever, makes sure to tell his biographer that it’s about peace, man, and has nothing to do with his love of authoritarian regimes.
Nothing more peaceful than supporting an authoritarian war criminal 🥰
Isn’t it illegal to screw with the military actions of the U.S. … and its allies?!!?
I don’t think what he did was illegal per se, but he is definitely positioning himself against US geopolitical interests, which is a really bad idea if you are a US citizen, living in the United States. If he were to give away any military secrets that pass through star link, which I’m sure Russia will inevitably ask him to do, he will get arrested for espionage. He should tread very carefully.
Poor people get arrested. Rich people get to walk free and then get a slap on the wrist.
Trump got arrested so will Musk if he fucks around
Trump was arrested by the legal definition, he never had spend time in jail denied bail or waiting for a chance to post bail.
And he fucked around hard.
Yes so what? What are you going to do about it?
You got down voted but you’re absolutely right. We, as a collective society, have allowed billionaires and those with obscene amounts of money to operate above the law. We’re seeing it play out over and over through different actions of the rich, and those that get charged usually get lighter sentences or are not convicted. It’s honestly a large scale problem that is not being addressed.
I have no doubt if Ukraine was sufficiently aggrieved they would seek retribution directly against him.
He’s a fair enough target… nothing of value would be lost.
Arrest when?
“How am I in this war?” Musk asked Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”
Please don’t use thedailybeast as a source…
It’s not even the source in this case, the story originates from CNN and they even have a link to it! The daily beast is an absolutely needless layer here.
Why not?
It makes right-wingers sad.
Why do you think wanting a proper source makes someone right wing?
I’m not American and not right wing.

Have you seen what kind of website it is?
In this case it was just a summary of a cnn article, linking directly would be better.In this case then, that makes sense. I was just wondering if you had something against the site generally. Is it trash generally? Not defending it, just curious.
