The fact that a country under attack needs to pay for these kind of things is already insane by itself.
Fuck no.
"Would you like to upgrade to our non-annihilation plan?"
- Corporations in 2026, apparently
Fuck this absolute cunt who’s the biggest drain on society since Nero.
The president cut service though. Musk does what he is told with prez, his entire fortune is based on government contracts, he would never defy prez, he was clearly asked to take the blame for this, and OP here is misguided to repeat that lie without moderation.
Putin may have delivered a "that's a nice satellite system, it woukd be a shame if something happened to it" message.
More like, those are some interesting tapes and evidence of you mr us president fucking children. Be a shame if they got released along with the pictures of your tiny dick, and all that.
Besides, satelite wars are a dangerous game, both the US and russia have them in place in orbit, and both have been making suspicious maneuvers I read. China probably too but idk what they are up to. But once it starts, it will cover the orbit in debris that will make satelite launches much more dicey as even a speck of dust at the speeds involved can break one of these satelites.
I just still cannot believe that happened and just...no one cares.
I'm being pedantic, but there are those of who obviously care that this fuck nugget did this.
Nobody who matters cares.
We don't matter :/
I thought the same as I typed my comment...
Apparently the TOS muskrat claimed were violated by Ukraine using starlink for ''offensive'' purposes, were really just TOS for the lower paid service level.
Hope the EU can get their own network up fast, because Elon is Ukraine's enemy, he will always cut off service when they need it most.
I know this one, you call up spectrum and you get a year trial.
"pray i don't alter it any further"...
That extortion has an end date, hopefully 2030, when the EU's Iris2 gets operational. Until then however Elon can play his nasty game, at least for the higher quality level of the service.
*fingers crossed
I see billboards for Starlink Roam and the tagline is "Roam Anywhere" or something and I'm like "Except for Ukraine, apparently."
If true, these guys are really disgusting. We will see the day when he falls.
Teslas in a few years:
"We notice that you're in an uncontrolled spin; uncontrolled spins violate Tesla's terms and conditions; your airbags have been deactivated. Upgrade now to the super spender safety plan for a one off payment of $30k to unlock instant airbag activation".
Goddamn this guy can't go one minute without being a complete piece of shit, his death will brighten my day
His death with be celebrated all over the world. I imagine it will be second only to Trump's at this point.
It will be a toss up between him and Putin and Netanyahu.
Starlink fastest growing revenue base is now governments vastly outpacing the growth of their consumer market. It is clear this is the real goal, to weaponize this technology.
The dispute isn't that they're not allowed to use Starlink for murder drones, it's that the murder drone plan is more expensive.
SpaceX is not actually supposed to even have direct control over Starshield. It uses Starlink infrastructure, but is a military application that is supposed to be under the control of the federal government.
SpaceX shouldn't have the option to pitch different plans.
You do realize that reactive jet shahed interceptors are also using starlink and also hit the speed limit wall?
What does that matter? How fast can a children’s hospital be moving?
The guy that nazi saluted on live broadcast twice did this? Not shocked at all seeing the attrocities the nazis and communists did to the Ukrainian people.
Either someone buy out Starlink, Space X, and Tesla or create a better company would be great in the current timeline.
Yes, because Musk needs more money.
Of course. He needs to get his building sized exploding metal dicks less explody soon, or his fucked.
But they literally make them explode for the shits and giggles. They even say so in their schedules lmao
Said by same people who furiously applaud and when shit blows up again.
"reportedly"
my ass, try "positively"
“Sure would be a shame if something were to happen to your service…”
It's like running with a bucket of water to a burning man and saying "I'll douse you, but it'll cost you 100 bucks"
Because Starlink is where most of SpaceX's revenue comes from and it doesn't turn a profit.
After that EU money
