We still don't know who turned it off. I've read various sources saying it was Starshield, the US-govt contracted Starlink. It could have been Trump or Hegseth that gave the order.

What can one say about such an evil asshole.

Tesla owners - park in public at your own risk.

He should be

Looks like he's realised that, and is claiming it was Trump not him that did it.

Ukraine are you listening!?!!

Not possible

He’s literally actively participating in a war as a combatant. He’s made himself a valid military target. What in the world?

I guess the attack on the Yandex data centers must really hurt Elon's chances of getting the GOP its victory in the midterms.

He’s the worlds richest man, pretty sure even democrats will bend for that. They’re not that… holy. They’ll forget the nazism, promise.

*or a United States dependency.

The man is an enemy to humanity.

If only there were some sort of documentary out about this dude.

He did what now?

He did what Orangeman wants to be done. Nationalizing may be fun, but not a solution

Would be great if #USAID was still around to (a) keep helping Ukrainians rebuild their energy infrastructure to stay warm and (b) keep investigating Elon Musk and Starlink, as it had been... CC @thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com @altusaid.altgov.info

I feel like he's done enough really shady stuff that he should end up in jail. Hell, he said in the last election that if Trump didn't win he'd end up in prison. Maybe that's something people should look more into.

Shouldn't treat PT Botha any differently than others. Deport him to South Sudan.

I think Elon might have screwed up big time finally.

It seems crazy that we would give a private individual this kind of power. However, we can guess that he would not do this without the full support of the Trump Administration. Note that he is renaming of xAI to xSI, demonstrating his alliance with Trump. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Add hundreds of thousands more to his body count thanks to this infamous betrayal. (due to this work in killing USAID, Elon Musk is already on the leaderboard for Most Suffering Caused By A Single Person)

The Pentagon controls Starshield (military version of Starlink), not SpaceX. Which is what got restricted today.

We must recognize individuals of sufficient wealth as state actors unto themselves and treat them as such. Musk is the obvious negative example. Dolly Parton basically usurped her state government (for very good reasons and outcomes) in her region via Dolly Wood. We must impose a wealth cap.

Nobody is gonna wanna buy our military shit anymore if Trump or Musk can just remotely flick the power off and on Would you buy a $121 million dollar F-35 from these guys?

I would argue that having your entire millitary relying on Elon Musk was a huge mistake from the beginning. I remember when people questioned the usage of starlink and it was ignored because how effective it was.

Not just Musk's trash. Every piece of American-controlled equipment is an unacceptable security risk to any country that is not completely subservient to the USA.

I was just thinking the same thing! He'll do anything to get the results he needs.

don't worry, in six months the Optimus robot will be able to vote for you

We literally needs to seize his assets for national security.

They still miss some ground stations (eg. in India, very slow approval process and red tape etc.) globally, but the OneWeb satellites - including spares- are in place and working. www.business-standard.com/amp/industry...

IMO, Musk has chosen direct, tactical aid to Russia, and Ukraine should feel free to identify ALL of his companies' properties, including Tesla dealerships and manufacturers, as valid military targets.

Am I misremembering that he’s done some other weird fuckery with starlink and Ukraine in the past?

Musk is a psychopath, always has been. He is just not bothering to hide it anymore.

I haven’t seen anyone say this, but this is obviously retaliation for Ukraine taking out all of Musk’s bots that were Russian? Likely Xitter traffic plummeted after the bots went silent

Time to nationalize SpaceX etc

"She accused Musk of exposing his erect p enis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and offering to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage, according to interviews and documents obtained by Insider." www.businessinsider.com/spacex-paid-...

If you bought a tesla, you are the problem.

How governments let this happen in the first place? A 5 year old child would know not to leave the entire comms infrastructure by satellites in the hands of a weird narcicist...

He stopped their offensive abilities, not their defensive abilities. Details matter.

Make it the Tesla bldgs. Dealerships and Silicon Valley.

This puts Ukraine and all of Europe at risk. The EU and its member states should do everything they can to shutdown Starlink on the continent. Hit Musk where it hurts.

USA are killing ukrain
