    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.

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

    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…”)

    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.

        Can’t be having those guards kill the new emperor. Makes sense

        I wonder if the guards expected it or not

        Even if everyone agreed with them at the time, it was unavoidable at the time. You couldn’t have soldiers kill their emperor.

    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.

    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.

    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.
