The EU and China could regulate Tesla into oblivion right now and perhaps end this threat.

📌

Careening towards Kessler Syndrome

This was the plan all along

President Musk is getting his puppet to do the dirty work

further evidence that he cheated in school

My reaction: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMIy...

In case anyone was wondering why Elon MusH gave Dementia Don $250 million dollars and untold in-kind help from X to become president. Runaway corruption.

Yeah, adding a dependency on this, massively stupid and against any potential national interest.

Nuts

Good thing other billionaires besides Musk would never try to unethically sway people and politicians for profit even against the public good and common decency, right, Mr. Bezos? Thank you, though, to the reporters and other staff in the WaPo trenches who worked on this piece to get the info out.

Are they selling Teslas, too.

That's so fu ked up

Mob government.

Get another independent company

!: China is an autocracy, so we mustn't let them win! ?: Um, OK, how do we do that? !: By turning ourselves into an autocracy, of course!

The grift continues.

Corruption!

Can you just say it in plain English...? trump demands bribes to Musk in order to spare nations from tariffs.

It's amazing how relevant this book still is www.marxists.org/archive/leni...

This is what Apartheid Clyde paid for.

It's easy to make money for your friends when you have no morals and you run the government.

This is 100% Trump Corruption. Extortion of countries on behalf of a private company is illegal. Trump doesn't care. Musk owns Trump and America. @sanders.senate.gov @democracynow.org

Corruption all around,let the billion make more money Wait didn't Elon say I will shut down my Star link to Ukraine? Who can trust musk not to turn off satilits if he isn't happy

Don’t do it!!!

When your government is into extortion 😔

Bezos and Musk have a competition to see who can control the most countries communications. Musk is winning. Their plans are to dominate earth communications. Remember when Musk switched off Ukraine?

Despicable corruption.

@sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov

Musk’s attempt at world domination must be stopped. Boycott him everywhere.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Starlink would be a security risk.....best avoid!

I hope they resist his pressure.

Elon,… who?!

Drumph has always seen the office as additional $$ making opportunities. I’m sure his portfolio includes a nice chunk of Starlink stock. What a shameless grifter.

It is obviously in the interest of the USA that the whole World uses a US Internet service

This is so fucking wrong

The fact that the trump administration wants to play this as an “American Company” is laughable. This is the rich helping the rich. This is to gain more power. These small countries are left with no choice and soon will be governed by trump. This is political manipulation! Unethical in every way!

This is some serious political manipulation!

And hopefully all those nations just say no. Like they would to any other drug.

Ethics thrown out the window like thousands of hard working federal employees.

Why the fuck does the State Dept care whether Starlink is available in other countries? Musk's agenda has fully corrupted the Federal Government at this point.

Musk’s $220 million donations have really paid off for him.

JFK, this is extortion, plain and simple.

I’m so sick of these corrupt bastards.

🤬🖖🤬

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The average brainwashed MAGA drone won’t care. Starlink may not even be a profitable company, they lose money on every ground terminal they ship, and launch cost are often excluded from the data they share with the public. But here we are, with the grifters grifting and idiots cheering.

This is bad. Remember how Elon treated Ukraine?

Fuck that starlink should NEVER have been allowed

TRUMP CRIME FAMILY CORRUPTION

🤬🤬🤬🤬

“President Trump will not tolerate any conflicts of interest, and every administration official is following ethical guidelines set by their respective agencies.” My ass.

No..Trump corruption! Stop this law and order GOP!

Please read the aetickecabout this in The Atlantic. Very concerning about fascism becoming entrenched globally.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/05/starlink-elon-musk-space-internet/682705/

I smell "conflict of interest "

Extortion

The little known law of I have money and the loophole of no one will stop me.

Trump and Musk basically want a kill switch for everything in the world.

‘Exclusive’? Give me a break. It’s been in plain sight to anyone who’s been paying attention, and ultimately wouldn’t have been possible at all if WP took its slogan seriously anymore, because of billionaires like Bezos and Musk. ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ indeed.

What? Trump is using the federal government to help his largest donor? Here is my shocked face.

Open air bribery. This eventually becomes the norm and part of every individual's daily life. Bribe any clerk you have to deal with, bribe your doctor and, especially, bribe anyone acting on behalf of government at any level. You see this even in former Soviet colonies. It's very sticky/persistent.

The other nations know Musk wants to use this to illegally spy on them

Isn’t starlink owned by Musk! The Republican corruption is unbelievable. Call your reps!

Starship is a failure so Musk is getting desperate.

The billionaires are taking over every country one by one - do not give them tax breaks!’
