    It is almost like this Nazi is working against the interest of democracy and supporting the interest of a piece of shit like Putin.

    Musk’s bodyguards have the opportunity to be heroes of the world right now. They would go down in history as great men.

      When the insane Emperor Caligula was killed by his Praetorian guards and they installed Claudius in his place, the first thing the new Emperor did was execute the guards involved in the assassination.

    Interesting. So it won’t happen unless musk specifically does it. So if musk is not around then it could not happen. Very good to know.

    That fact that he made that comment would cause every other country to second guess themselves using this service. Starlink is now going to be a US service for the most part. My opinion anyway…who knows these days.

    Meanwhile, Europe is pursuing replacements for Ukraine. Obviously none as good as Starlink and there’ll be a rough time in the switchover, but Musk is not the only source for this kind of service.

    And in the meantime, by merely making this statement Musk has doomed Starlink to never be seriously considered again as a provider for critical services like this elsewhere in the world.

    Downvoted because we don’t have to hear all the idiotic thoughts of this moron but:

    I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat

    Putin is a crazy fucker from the KGB. Strength in a fight is not about age, going to the gym, or all the things Elon believes. I have personally known skinny old guys walking with a cane who could kick his ass in a few seconds.

    Ukraine will inevitably lose

    Putin propaganda, I am not surprised. The rest of the text is the same shit.

    We’ll need to surround every Tesla store with cops. It will be like crossing a picket line to buy one, and should be protested as such.

    Broadcasting his intention like this really puts a target on his back. He should be more careful… or not, I’ve stocked up on popcorn.

    It would be a shame if the government relieved him of his ownership/control after discovering the company useful for national defense. It won’t be Trump but I hope that’s the result of the next election.

    In the meantime, it looks like his businesses are circling the drain.

    I don’t think it will, but it will surely feel the effects.

    This is not strictly speaking full-blown betrayal of Ukraine, it just seems that problems remaining unresolved and becoming bigger due to this war being in focus - have become bigger than Ukrainian war from their (that group) point of view.

    The US is the only big power to condemn massacres of Alawites in Syria happening right now, some others have basically blamed the victims, so maybe not all they do is wrong. It’s just words, but at least the right words.

    If Ukraine accepts whatever peace deal they are trying to impose upon it, it’ll still have much more than it would had it surrendered in 2022. In some sense it’d be a win for them. Peace works for Ukraine - their economy is less resource-based than that of Russia, thus requiring competent people and comfortable social climate, not that of war.
