When the war was turning in Ukraine's favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.

[โ€“] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which is why Starlink needs to be confiscated and managed by NATO. Somebody has to operate it, and it should be an entity who is on the side of Freedom amd Democracy.

[โ€“] starman@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not that easy to confiscate sattelites

[โ€“] Mandrilleren@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.

I don't think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.

When it comes to stuff like this, the USA is like a tax heaven: outside of international jurisdiction and never signed any cooperation agreement with foreign powers. The USA is the best place to run shady business right now

Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.

~~They're presumably talking about the Kursk Oblast.~~ Edit: probably not, see responses.

[โ€“] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

IIRC that was long after that. The initial shutoff of Starlink happened around the explosions targeting the Crimean bridge and them introducing their naval drones.

"Be quiet small man"... smallest dick energy I've seen today.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Musk is gonna be copping a lot of that in response to his tweets now.

Isn't it becoming quite widely known now that he's gotten a bad penile implant?

[โ€“] gildadriel@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

his brain is as broken as his willy

Dick so small he probably drives a Cybertruck.

[โ€“] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.

He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. Theyโ€™re both pieces of shit.

[โ€“] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He's a Nazi coward even when it's just talking...

[โ€“] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too...

I can't fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!

[โ€“] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nationalize SpaceX and deport Musk to South Africa where he belongs.

(Ok maybe nationalize it under the next administration.... if there is a next one)

[โ€“] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I have a question is an immigrant allowed to be vice president ?

No right ?

[โ€“] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp

[โ€“] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Maybe Trump was born somewhere else...

[โ€“] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

VP has the same requirements as President, which exclude Musk because he isn't a citizen by birth. Musk was essentially put in the highest possible position he could be that didn't require him to be elected or confirmed by Congress.

Which is why he needed a puppet to be President for him. I don't know that he ideally wanted a puppet he'd have to time-share with Putin, but that's the puppet he bought.

And I firmly believe that aside from the occasional going off script as a kind of tantrum that Trump is entirely a puppet - consider the narcissism and desire to exude power that he has, and then look at him in the photos of that meeting where Elon was in the Oval Office with little Kevlar Musk and just how defeated Trump looks. He knows his choices were win office or be buried by the courts, and he signed whatever deals with whatever devils were necessary to guarantee it happened, he's owned by Elon and Putin, he knows it and that eats at him.

[โ€“] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Is he calling people small now to compensate for his fat ass looking like Doctor Robotnik?

[โ€“] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Elon Musk's atoms are poorly arranged for maximizing utility to the human race and would be better served if they were rearranged into fertilizer for feedcrops. At present they are just in a cloud of un-thought. Utilitarianism must be respected.

How do you speak our language?

[โ€“] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

If America was a real country this guy would've immediately been removed from any and all companies he runs.

Does SpaceX not have a board?

[โ€“] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Abandon fucking Starlink and use Eutelsat. Poland should also stop buying US made weapon systems.

[โ€“] krf@szmer.info 1 points 2 months ago

As much as I hate Elmo, you can fold Starlink terminal flat and put in a backpack and it weights around 6 kilogram and costs around $500, Eutelsat โ€žportableโ€ OW70L is fucking chonky dome that weights 30 kilos, costs $2000 and needs to be transported in a car. They need to seriously up their game, and do it fast.

[โ€“] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thankgod we're already working hard on that...

[โ€“] droans@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

There is no substitute for Starlink"

The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?

I wouldnt be suprised if putin beat his ass. They both might be old decrepit fucks but putin has martial arts training at least. This response to one of my countries government officials is also what pushed me over to finally dropping as much american everything as possible.

My money would be on Putin for sure. There's no way Musk's pale, puffy body has ever been in a real fight, unless you count lying on your back and kicking upwards while screaming to be "fighting" per se.

A more interesting contest would be between Musk and Trump, since Trump outweighs him by probably 80 pounds and has much greater reach. Plus the force of his punches would be concentrated into a smaller area!

did elon really say "pipe down pipsqueek" like that worked well for drake? man people with canadian citizenship gotta stop doing that.
