This is a guy that paid $11,000,000,000 tax in 2021 alone and you're not happy with that, nor that he uses the actual money he gets to keep on investing in sending humans and commercial payloads into space, providing fast low latency internet to the entire world just for fun, revolutionising electric cars and all kinds of other stuff

Honestly, the disease is people looking at that and thinking 'we need to milk more out of him' rather than 'maybe I could do something myself'

That wasn't Starlink's decision.

What?

As I said, Starlink nor Musk decided to throttle Starshield's service in Ukraine.

Starshield is operated by the US Military, and they answer to the President of the United States.

The President Elon worked for, and the one he keeps spending 100s of millions of dollars to keep in power? That President?

Yes, that President. The one who has the authority to direct the US military, which controls Starshield's military operations.

Starshield's service to Ukraine was restricted under US military authority, not by Musk unilaterally deciding to switch off Starlink, or allegedly whispering in Trump's ear.

Musk supporting Trump politically doesn't somehow transfer presidential authority to Musk, nor authority over Starshield.

I didn't say he supported him politically.

I said he supported him financially.

Financially supporting a political candidate is political support.

And neither changes the point I've made repeatedly.

Are we seriously down to arguing over this now?

Financially supporting a candidate is financially supporting a candidate.

We can argue over whatever distraction you want.

You introduced the objection to my use of "politically," I answered it, and now you're calling it my distraction?

You're arguing with yourself again. 😂

That's a distraction too. Happy to respond to whatever slop you throw though.

You wrongly said it was political. I corrected you. Did that hurt your feelings?
