He just doesn't want his satellites to be shot out of their orbits because that's exactly what many countries will do once Starlink gets used for large military operations.
It was along these lines that I was thinking. All Xitter's nonsense made it surprising to see Musk acting rationally even to protect his own companies.
And they would be justified in doing so. Can you imagine a weapon system that can coordinate a massive drone attack anywhere in the world?
That's true but that could have provoked a bigger escalation, probably a nuke war and at that time westerners were bloodlust for Russians
I think it's more rational self interest, which he always shows. His rationality is completely centered around greed and egoism from what I have seen, so I would assume he does that because it would not be profitable for him if he did that
Musk proposed the partition and negotiation plan in 2022 when Westerners were calling to nuke Russia 🤣. Atleast he was like hey i dont want to get nuked by Russia.
People ITT acting like this was principled. Musk was against the war very early for exactly the same reasons as Tucker Carlson.
The response to this tweet says it all. The Ukraine flags think Elon should be arrested, deported, assassinated, all kinds of things for the crime of not putting a massive fucking target on his back by essentially sponsoring a massive attack on Russian military forces.
Come on Elon, we're all adults here, let's not pretend like you don't work for the US government, all your businesses are essentially propped up by them and you are basically a military contractor.
I wouldn't take anything about this story seriously. I am not even sure he did what he claims to have done, and if he did it sure wasn't out of the goodness of his heart to avoid an escalation of the war.
Either he and his handlers in the US deep state knew they couldn't get away with such a provocative move by Ukraine without serious blowback from Russia, or they were afraid the entire operation would be a humiliating failure but Ukraine wouldn't listen to them so they had to turn off the ISR tap.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if it was the latter. We're increasingly seeing examples now of Ukraine starting to strain against its leash and not obeying what the West tells them would make for more sound military strategy and instead doing the kind of dumb suicidal terrorist shit they love doing most.
It's only a matter of time until the West loses control of the rabid abomination they have created in the Kiev regime, and that will probably happen once things really start to visibly unravel militarily for them and the West is forced to cut its losses.
Lol you can hear the lies. He's a pussy
he's a pussy for not wanting communications tools with a potential worldwide market to be labeled as weapons of war and banned / sanctioned out of possibly as much as half of the planet?
that's just basic rational greed.
But it is used for war. So I think they should take retaliatory measures.
I think it would be entirely morally correct for someone to Prigozhin Elon, even if Starlink never existed
I’m not implying anything but I can’t wait until Elon tries out one of his own rockets.
