Fucker will disable Starlink in Ukraine and allow it in Russia
He's going to be on the cabinet while getting billions in government contracts. The richest man in the world just got a job where he gets to to shovel more government money to himself. And that's what Trump calls 'draining the swamp' and 'sticking it to the elites'.
And somehow, instead of democrats calling that out, they decided to find their own elites to trot out.
Worst of it, government money is your tax dollar... You will pay more and more taxes to funnel the money to Trump's friends. Trump is the swamp thing!
They'll finance it with debt, sale of assets and cutting of services. Which is probably even worse
Didn't he do that already?
It wasn't enabled in Crimea in the first place. The author misspoke/lied about in the book and has later admitted it.
U.S. sanctions to Russia forbid the use of Starlink. This includes crimea and the occupied territories. That's why it wasn't enabled.
And before someone points out the 'cause major war' things, those are Walters words, not Elon's. Musk said "It would make SpaceX explicitly complicit in a marjor act of war and conflict escalation" He later also added that had he been contacted by the US officials and asked to enable it he would, but they didn't.
US sanctions may try to stop Russia from using statlink, but they're using it anyway.
Plus the fact that Musk regularly talks with Putin really makes this whole thing quack and waddle.
The front lines are not static so you can only imagine the difficulty SpaceX has trying to determine which terminal is in Ukranian use and which ones are Russian. For all we know, they may have disabled hundreds if not thousands of terminals they've found out to be used by the Russians and are getting no credit for it. I don't buy into this narrative that Elon is personally invested into Russia winning. I've seen no evidence for it but plenty against it which everyone just seems to conveniently ignore because Musk bad.
He's already done so, actually. Under the guise of "blackouts".
Nah, he'll use the location services from the dish to pinpoint the Ukrainian troop locations. If they're smart they'll start smashing them immediately.
