He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.

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

I hate Zuck but in this match I’m thinking if it’s not mutually assured destruction, then I might root for Zuck. Elon is becoming a very big problem.
Or 400 pounds of semtex under the cage. 2 birds, one ring.
I would literally give away a kidney to see that live, through binoculars from about a half mile away.

Also a reminder that everyone who is not a Musk sheep should leave Twitter.
Hey, rest of the Democratic world, there are a whole bunch of ex feds right now needing funds and direction for their anger. Maybe you should tap into them if you need someone to rid you of this meddlesome Chancellor.
I can’t stand the fact that Poland is doing Literally What they wanted - spending a lot of money on defence. Yet, they bark at them.

did elon really say "pipe down pipsqueek" like that worked well for drake? man people with canadian citizenship gotta stop doing that.
I think the ritual to siphon all Canadian aggression into Justin Bieber every year is beginning to fail.
Soary :(
Is this exchange real? Surely this can't be, right?
Musk has completely lost touch when reality at this point and thinks he's god.
He's a ketamine addict, so that's probably affecting his cognitive facilities to a degree.
What are the clinical manifestations of Ketamine addiction? I'm asking honestly, because I don't know, and I wonder if he ticks the boxes.

Looks like it is real https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1898759859459203457#m
OK, so this is where things are now. Wow.
Yeah I could not believe myself. But honestly people in position of power need to be out of twitter. It craves and feed on attention.
Given Musk's latest remarks, they need to implement an alternative yesterday. I fully expect Starlink to be cut on Monday.

That would be Eutelsat, but it is smaller in scale (at the moment) and therefore more expensive. It's also said to be less userfriendly, but that should be possible to fix.
There's so many places where strategically important resources have been delegated wholesale to the US. Now, concerning mankind, it's theoretically better, of course, to not overdo it with wasteful redundancies. But, unfortunately, we're not talking about some kind of UN-controlled infrastructure, which is maintained and used internationally. Unfortunately, it's controlled by people like this, and that is now coming home to roost.
I mean with the right President there would be reason to take it under the Defense Production Act or civil forfeiture. But Democrats will surely squeal, "our hands out tied" until the next Republican gets elected.
More competition will ensure the oligarchs to behave.
I don't trust the EU tech owners, but I recognize that they are at an disadvantage to the US counterpart (and nationalism is a useful tool to sell their product) so they won't be making overt moves to dismantle European democracy.
It’s really really really not up to trust! Imagine if bec of eu oligarchs thousands of folks died because said oligarchs refused to pay for peoples healthcare!
The one remaining guillotine in France would go around!

Pride goeth before the fall, they say. The hellish party is the wait.
There are alternatives to starlink though. This guy thinks he owns it all
The shares of the most likely alternative are going through the roof.
Isn’t OneWeb constellation is debated until Iris2 is available?
But we should reconsider the SpaceX launch contracts.
They’re both targeted towards commercial or government business, which is unfortunate from an individual subscriber perspective. I would love to see a euro competitor to Starlink and Kuiper, so I can unplug my Starlink.
Iris2 looks like a traditional Euro project with a dozen companies from different countries involved, to make sure the funding isn’t concentrated in one country. SpaceX has the advantage of improved integration in comparison.

An alternative sure, but not in the manner. StarLink is already filling up the air space and producing a ton of new space debris. It needs to die with an entirely different alternative.
