    Time to get Ukraine a different method of communication right the fuck away. This is a threat, not a boast.

    Sounds like Ukraine would be within their right to do whatever it takes to prevent such an action regardless of how many toddlers are being used as a human shield.

        I’m all for the hate musk train but that one was manufactured bullshit and actually opened my eyes at how manipulated I had allowed myself to become.

        In the whole clip he comes back for little X and it’s a total nothing burger. Obviously he’s a psycho and that kid is fucked but leaving him to navigate some stairs for 2 seconds is irrelevant. I guess maybe Americans are more helicopter and precious about kids but in the rest of the world we let them get on with it and that is totally fine.

    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.

    And the tone he took with Sikorski when the latter reminded him that Poland is paying for a lot of Starlinks in Ukraine once more show their attitude to their (former) allies and why we need to cut those people loose and develop - or mass-deploy - self-reliant technologies like Eutelsat as quickly as we can. (I don’t have the exact wording on hand but it was something akin to “Silence, little man…”)

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Putin has a black belt in Sambo, and also Judo I think. He might be getting old, but the thing about both of those martial arts is that strength isn’t necessarily that important (I mean, unless you’re going up against a worthy opponent obviously), but it’s all about leverage and using your opponent’s momentum against them.

      In other words, when you do it right, they kind of throw themselves… Putin would be tossing him around like a fucking ragdoll without breaking a sweat.

      I would love to see someone knock Elon down a few pegs… Physically, I mean. Like beat the shit out of him. At least.

    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.
