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.

"Be quiet small man"... smallest dick energy I've seen today.

Musk is gonna be copping a lot of that in response to his tweets now.

Isn't it becoming quite widely known now that he's gotten a bad penile implant?

Dick so small he probably drives a Cybertruck.

[โ€“] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. Theyโ€™re both pieces of shit.

[โ€“] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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...

[โ€“] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

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

Putin is 5' 7", like 160 lbs, and 70 years old. Elon is 6'2", probably 200 lbs, and 52 years old.

I don't think fitness and training can overcome 20 years, 50 lbs, and a full head of height.

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.

How do you speak our language?

[โ€“] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Is he calling people small now to compensate for his fat ass looking like Doctor Robotnik?

[โ€“] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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 ?

[โ€“] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

VP has the same requirements as President, which exclude Musk because he isn't a citizen by birth. Musk was essentially put in the highest possible position he could be that didn't require him to be elected or confirmed by Congress.

Which is why he needed a puppet to be President for him. I don't know that he ideally wanted a puppet he'd have to time-share with Putin, but that's the puppet he bought.

And I firmly believe that aside from the occasional going off script as a kind of tantrum that Trump is entirely a puppet - consider the narcissism and desire to exude power that he has, and then look at him in the photos of that meeting where Elon was in the Oval Office with little Kevlar Musk and just how defeated Trump looks. He knows his choices were win office or be buried by the courts, and he signed whatever deals with whatever devils were necessary to guarantee it happened, he's owned by Elon and Putin, he knows it and that eats at him.

[โ€“] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp

[โ€“] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Maybe Trump was born somewhere else...

[โ€“] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

I can't fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!

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"?

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?

[โ€“] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Abandon fucking Starlink and use Eutelsat. Poland should also stop buying US made weapon systems.

[โ€“] krf@szmer.info 1 points 3 months ago

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 โ€žportableโ€ 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.

[โ€“] droans@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

There is no substitute for Starlink"

The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?

[โ€“] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Thankgod we're already working hard on that...
