Because Musk as a person is a huge liar, fraud and a major disappointment with a messiah complex to boot ?

We could be looking at these developments with excitement, instead many of us think about how he is going to use this tech to fuck more things up and justify more immoral behaviour. He is a real life Bond villain.

Read this case document by Aaron Jacob Greenspan, it’s fascinating and a good read: https://www.plainsite.org/dockets/download.html?id=332879335...

5. Defendant Musk has openly admitted that his leadership philosophy is that the ends—here, Tesla’s mission of “accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy”—justify the means, or fraudulent and unlawful business practices, so long as they keep a company afloat.

He also tweeted this two years ago…

For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally Apr 28, 2022

It makes me nervous such a guy is in control of so many things…

Russia having starlink to use drones to bomb Ukrainian soldiers, for example. Buying Twitter to spread lies and conspiracies is another. Calling a hero a “pedo guy” because he didn’t agree with his approach.

The guy is an asshat, period.

Russia and starlink?

And writing a lawyers opinion as fact?

When Ukraine attacks Russian sites, they’re often finding starlink terminals in the debris. They know they’re using them to control drones and other equipment. They’re supposed to be sanctioned under US law.

What’s wrong with lawyers ? Is Musk some how above all lawyers ?

A lawyers opinion just like anyones opinion isn't fact.

Having Starlink terminals doesn't mean starlink is supplying them anymore than Apple is supplying the Taliban with iPhones.

The Pentagon and Ukraine's government don't think SpaceX is selling it to them and that's enough for me.

You can read the Newsweek article on Starlink terminals on Shahed drones

Read the document, there is plenty of evidence provided.
I've read the document. I've chosen to believe the Pentagon
