Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding an investigation into SpaceX after Elon Musk acknowledged he had blocked Ukraine from extending the private Starlink satellite network for an attack on Russian warships near the Crimean coast.

    I have to assume he’s always been this way. Previously he just listened to his PR people more.

      But why has he stopped? Is it really just the ego of SpaceX and Tesla both doing pretty ok? Is it dating Grimes? Is it just plain old normal old man poo brain that’s hard to see cause he’s getting more plugs and plastic surgery?

      Cause he’s genuinely seemed to start making dumber decisions in recent years, and the fact that his teenage daughter cutoff contact with him because she thought he was evil actually makes a lot of sense for that underlying motivation, not necessarily driven by an over inflated ego but by a shattered one.

        SpaceX and Tesla would do so much better if elon was cut out completely and replaced with a person who isn’t an asshole or a repukelican

        There was a ton of walls put up around him to make sure he couldn’t do anything stupid at Tesla/Paypal/whatever else he’s bought credit for. Once he bought Twitter none of those structures were in place and he was able to go full dictator crazy.

        He’s probably been emboldened by trump and the disaster that are his fans. He’d rather be worshiped by a small group than liked by everyone.
