When the war was turning in Ukraine’s favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.
Which is why Starlink needs to be confiscated and managed by NATO. Somebody has to operate it, and it should be an entity who is on the side of Freedom amd Democracy.
Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.
They’re presumably talking about the Kursk Oblast.Edit: probably not, see responses.IIRC that was long after that. The initial shutoff of Starlink happened around the explosions targeting the Crimean bridge and them introducing their naval drones.
Close. There was a geobarrier that he refused to remove. Because attacks against Russia are aggression.
Don’t let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.
Why is starlink being used, do you know?
It’s faster, cheaper, and on the tech side more reliable (definitely not politically reliable though).
My guess is better coverage and latency with its sheer number of satellites.
They use low earth orbit, which require them to use more satellites, but lowered latency.
Technically, and this is purely semantics, coverage is the major downside to starlink. They are faster, though.
The coverage of satellites has an exponential factor of the distance of that satellite to earth. If you had the satellite further out then its signal could reach a wider area before being cut off by the curvature of the earth. However, as the distance increases, so does latency.
He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.
He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He’s a Nazi coward even when it’s just talking…
Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too…
Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin’ Russia over nepo-baby “gamer”, “engineer” Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol
It’s Zuck and Elon not Elon and Putin.
The Tweet linked in the OP is Musk claiming that he challenged Putin to a fist fight.
“Be quiet small man”… smallest dick energy I’ve seen today.
Isn’t it becoming quite widely known now that he’s gotten a bad penile implant?
Dick so small he probably drives a Cybertruck.
Musk is gonna be copping a lot of that in response to his tweets now.
Nationalize SpaceX and deport Musk to South Africa where he belongs.
(Ok maybe nationalize it under the next administration… if there is a next one)
I have a question is an immigrant allowed to be vice president ?
No right ?
That’s right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp
Maybe Trump was born somewhere else…
Elon Musk’s atoms are poorly arranged for maximizing utility to the human race and would be better served if they were rearranged into fertilizer for feedcrops. At present they are just in a cloud of un-thought. Utilitarianism must be respected.
[vibrates proliferously]
How do you speak our language?
There is no substitute for Starlink"
The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?
Thankgod we’re already working hard on that…
If America was a real country this guy would’ve immediately been removed from any and all companies he runs.
Does SpaceX not have a board?
Is he calling people small now to compensate for his fat ass looking like Doctor Robotnik?
Oligarchs used to act the part, and have the appearance of being “classy”.
Now Oligarchs are just a bunch of 4chan users.
Wtf is: “Be quiet, small man”
That’s not an elegant way of speaking.
These people are supposed to be “upper class”?
🤣
Abandon fucking Starlink and use Eutelsat. Poland should also stop buying US made weapon systems.
As much as I hate Elmo, you can fold Starlink terminal flat and put in a backpack and it weights around 6 kilogram and costs around $500, Eutelsat „portable” OW70L is fucking chonky dome that weights 30 kilos, costs $2000 and needs to be transported in a car. They need to seriously up their game, and do it fast.
The irony of elon calling anyone else “small” is hilarious…
Elon is quite large actually, especially his torso.
Yup, nothing else of him is either big or medium sized. He has some complexes
I wouldnt be suprised if putin beat his ass. They both might be old decrepit fucks but putin has martial arts training at least. This response to one of my countries government officials is also what pushed me over to finally dropping as much american everything as possible.
My money would be on Putin for sure. There’s no way Musk’s pale, puffy body has ever been in a real fight, unless you count lying on your back and kicking upwards while screaming to be “fighting” per se.
A more interesting contest would be between Musk and Trump, since Trump outweighs him by probably 80 pounds and has much greater reach. Plus the force of his punches would be concentrated into a smaller area!
