Thankfully Tesla is falling. But in the meantime Spacex is taking up the lead to send humans back to the moon and eventually Mars, Starlink is showing to be a value in Ukraine and for Iranian people trying to resist oppression.
(These two shall fall eventually.)
that is until he recieves order from putin/aipac to sabotage starlinks during critical moments, like elections and plan of attack for ukraine.
So how do you explain the Shutdown access Russia had?
Not disputing as Elon has cut off Ukraine’s access, just saying an event happened which Putin would not of liked.
(Also WTF does AIPAC have to do with this. Last I checked the Ukrainian State is rather pro-Israel, unfortunately.)
How do you explain the access Russia had for so long and all the complaints from Ukraine about Musk fucking them over with Starlink and helping Russia? Musk only stopped once Europe starting souring on him recently.
Simple. Russia purchased but did keep up with the regular payments.
Would not have, btw.
Point is an event happened that showed Elon is not loyal to Russia but his wallet
Probably. All of evil billionaires just suck the dick that pays.
