  2. I don’t see why anyone would trust Muskolini’s word at this point.

  3. Of course, the bandwidth allocated is 1 bit/second but technically it isn’t disconnected.

    Come on people, Musk is mentally a 13 yo edgelord. He thinks he’s smarter than us and that he can play wordgames.

    He has Trump now, but if he loses his protectors I will be disappointed if we do not nationalize his shit.

  4. He won’t turn it off. That is how he sells the location to russia

  6. He doesn’t want the Italian project to fall through. Maybe in 6 months, he’ll find his ukraine, and nato stance is really bad for business and switches sides again.

  7. I’m sure his corporate lawyers and business development folks staged an intervention. You can’t just cancel contracts by fiat without consequences. I’ll bet the backlog shrank dramatically, prospects started hanging up on the salesmen, and the lawyers showed him the cancellation penalty clauses.

  8. Look for alternatives to US support, they can’t be trusted.

  9. He is one ketamine trip from changing his mind. We just don’t know which one, but it will come…

  10. Of course he wont, those terminals are collecting invaluable intel for Putin

  11. Bullsh*t. This guy lies with the best of them. He plays games with people’s lives for fun.

  12. Why should we believe this guy? He’s accountable to nobody. Will he rat out your terminal location to your enemies? Run a service with so little transparency that you’d never know you were hacked? You’d never know.

  13. Just like he said he wouldn’t donate money to either candidate?

  14. It’s being suggested he is using it to give away Ukraine troop locations Russia. World governments should be sanctioning all of his companies and assets.

  15. This is Corporate Elon. Oligarch Elon has a whole different agenda!

  16. Of course not, when Ukrainians start using Starlink, their physical location can be transmitted to the Russians.

  18. He just wanted to swing the proverbial dick around. *”I could change the entire front of war if I wanted to, which shows how awesome and powerful I am!”*

    Dude is as narcissistic as they come.

  21. Starlink is where his money is, not tesla. He is scared, rightfully so.

  23. No matter how much he disagrees with Ukraine defending themselves from a murderous neighbor? How do psychos actually think like this?

  24. It’s great that he has never lied before and we can 100% take him at his word /s.

    Coming next month: “I had no control over the terminals which shut down by themselves – they were clearly being used incorrectly”

  25. **”We would never do such a thing or use it as a bargaining chip.”**

    If it’s not a threat, why are you saying it?

  26. Didnt starlink get turned off a while back for a bit of time?

  27. I woudn’t trust it, but i’m sure you guys already know that.

  28. Didn’t he in fact turn off Starlink terminals previously, to prevent the Ukrainians from conducting an offensive?

  29. Now everyone real;y needs to be careful here. Musk has his own agenda and is seeing some of his businesses being dragged down. He’s trying to save Tesla. Also, can we really trust him at his word? It would be best to plan for an alternative in case he has a Trumpian moment and flip flops.

  31. This is not about morals it about bottom line every one is jumping ship form Felons companies.

  33. Yeah because he’s shipping off targeting data to the Russians. Of course he won’t turn them off.. I hate this timeline

  34. When someone says the phrase ‘let’s be clear’, it usually it means they’re lying, or at least point incredible forthright.

  35. Then why threaten at all. Like does he need to constantly jerk off his ego?

  36. Mfer is running scared because everyone realizes a Nazi can’t be trusted. No one should do business with this shady as fuck heathen.

  37. Biden should have nationalized Starlink the second it became clear how impactful it was militarily.

  38. Good musk. Admitting you’re a piece of shit but at least not acting like a piece of shit on it.

  39. So we’re all in agreement right? He’s going to turn it off but without notice and at the worst possible time?

  40. I suppose we’ll have to take you…*at your word*… number 2.

  41. Didn’t Musk personally shut down Starlink as Ukr was about to launch a naval drone strike a couple years ago?

  43. They are reporting GPS coordinates to Ruz any time UKR turns a terminal on.

    He is right … they would never disable this wonderful capability.

  44. >I am simply stating that, without Starlink, the Ukrainian lines would collapse, as the Russians can jam all other communications!

    We would never do such a thing or use it as a bargaining chip.

    “I am simply stating that you have a nice family and it would be a shame if anything happened to them. I would never threaten your family and use them as a bargaining chip.”

  45. Of course he won’t. If he turns them off he can’t feed that data to Russia

  46. You always say that until they need you the most. Then you cut it.
