Elon Musk’s Tweet Criticizing Ukraine’s Counteroffensive Sparks Outrage
Elon Musk, who faces a Senate probe for his role in hindering a 2022 Ukrainian attack on Crimea, seems to share David Sacks’ view against US support for Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
Maybe - just maybe - a private citizen shouldn't be left in control of contracted military infrastructure at all...
His posturing politically may just be to protect himself from SpaceX and Starlink being nationalized.
Giving a nation the idea you may support an enemy. Is in no way a protection from that nation taking control of your assets. It is at best giving the nation the ability to rationalise the need to limit your own power.
After all dispite not seeing any reason why any corp in the US would be worried about current potential govs nationalising them. It just not something either of the main parties are fans of.
Its even less likely musk would see cooperation with russia as a way to prevent such a thing.
If we had a policy of nationalizing contracted military infrastructure, then nobody would make a contract with the military.
And while this may sound good to some, it sure wouldn't be in Ukraine's interest. Unreliable Starlink access is better than no Starlink access at all.
It doesn't have to be nationalized, but it doesn't make any sense for a civilian to be able to unilaterally make decisions like that while under military contract. At the very least, any decision to change or influence the contracted service while the contract is active should require some sort of review and approval. Maybe there's a good reason it's the way it is, I'm just a layman, but every time I hear about this it just baffles me why it was even allowable for Elon to make the call he did, or any call for that matter.
This is just pure speculation from my part, but with
- Trump bending over for Russia
- his multiple visits to Moscow was made happen by KGB
- his relations with Jeremy Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
- the rumor that Kremlin has an incriminating golden shower video tape on him that could be used to keep him obedient
And with
- Elon bending over for Russia
- his multiple visits to Moscow to buy rockets, in which there's no way Russian govt aren't involved
- the photograph of him with Ghislaine
I just can't help to speculate that Kremlin has something really incriminating against these two. But again this is just pure speculation without any proofs.
With Elon it could be as simple as Putin stroking his ego. Elon has demonstrably incredibly thin skin and is very susceptible to flattery. Same with Trump too, to be honest. Remember when Trump said he wanted his own big military parade like Putin gets in Red Square every year?
I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that any blackmail Epstein was holding against any and all of his clients is in the hands of the Kremlin.
Why Starlink, SpaceX, and Tesla still have any government funding or contracts is beyond me.
Because having a contract is how one can tear someone apart for breach of contract.
Did you see what happened last year when there was no Starlink contract? Musk just didn't enable it for Ukraine's offensive, and he had the law on his side.
Now that Starlink has a DoD contract, Musk can say anything... then do as ordered.
Same for SpaceX (only US launch platform capable of putting people in orbit).
SpaceX I understand, Tesla I disagree with but understand (“the EV future”), but yeah not starlink
He’s a professional troll. Everything he says is for the purpose of outrage.
My immediate thought when I read the headline was
Musks attempt to garner attention manages to garner attention.
He's an asshat and I wish people would stop giving him attention.
Disgusting chodelet
How about he shuts the fuck up because nobody wants to hear him
I'd rather him say how he's undermining the war effort out loud than have him do it quietly
This motherfucker is getting to be just as bad as Trump. Flat-out incapable of keeping their fucking mouths shut.
Hi, Elmo Muskrat. Why don't you stop playing too much Call of Duty and instead you go to Russian occupied territories in Ukraine to see how Ukrainians are living and being treated? Just a little tiny suggestion, as small as your brain. You're welcome.
