  This is treasonous. It is an absolute betrayal of our allies. 🤬

  Wall Street Journal reveals that Trump and Musk coordinated to actively cause the death of civilian Ukrainians by crippling Starshield, which Ukraine relies on for their intercepter drones. The Nuremberg process will be a spectacle after this war.

  From another comment of mine on a HN Musk submission today---Musk has earned the vitriol, largely due to his political stunts. When the world's richest person starts dumping his money into elections and interfering in politics across the globe, why are we surprised people are angry and critical? When he takes a golden chainsaw to USAID, how many…

  Garbage title. This wasn't a Musk decision: "Some U.S. officials say that Musk acted unilaterally and that Trump didn’t specifically order any retribution against Ukraine. But a person familiar with the situation said Musk talked to multiple senior administration officials, including with Trump, before imposing the new speed cap, which Ukrainian…

  WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade Starlink network used by Ukraine, according to U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter. Trump and Musk have both expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries, which Trump blames for high

  ❗️WSJ reports Elon Musk personally ordered a slowdown of the military-grade Starlink service relied on by Ukraine, rendering some offensive and interceptor drones virtually useless. Musk and Trump discussed the decision after it became public, while one source says they had also discussed it beforehand. Musk had publicly said such restrictions…

  This is hugely relevant in India because Musk is trying to force his way into the Indian market [1]. You don't want Musk owning critical infrastructure in any country.[1]

  I used to drive a 3 series BMW wagon, super dope.. I loved it. Got a 2021 Tesla Model Y. I save $450 a month of gas, it's 8x safer with FSD than driving myself. I use FSD every day and it's absolutely the best driving experience ever. I don't worry about maintenance and recommend everyone to give it a shot.

  WSJ scoop: Musk was the one who ordered the Starshield slowdown that blindsided Ukraine’s defenses.

  So Ukraine's counteroffensive had a kill switch sitting in one guy's pocket. The 'free speech absolutist' throttled a democracy's internet in the middle of a war. But tell me again how the real threat is college students.

  Yeah, there’s a Supreme Court justice Clarence sale. Heck if I was a billionaire or a trillionaire, I’d buy a few myself probably some senators and some congressman as well. Why not ? They’re all for sale if the price is right, the bunch of weak fucking wanna be leaders on the take just shitty humans.

  I can believe Musk ordered the Starshield slowdown but I can't believe Trump wasn't involved.

  Elon Musk personally ordered restrictions on Ukraine’s Starshield military satellite service, WSJ reports. The move disrupted Ukrainian military missions and allegedly caused confusion within the Trump administration. https:// meduza.io/en/news/2026/10/21/d…

  So, Starlink is a national security risk. Worth noting.Be glad you saw this thread before it is inevitably flagged from the site, despite clearly being relevant.

  They don't have the same worldview, they just have commonalities you've seized on. France and America are not the same---French far-right nationalism is less pugnacious to the world at large, has less economic liberalism, and has more of a 'State as National Parent' philosophy.
