    Because of the CEO it will NOT benefit us all. Just think of starlink and Ukraine as a tiny example.

        Yikes, a major war you say? The fact that Ukraine doesn’t have full ability to use starlink in whatever fashion they feel is necessary to repel the invaders of their nation (crimea is part of Ukraine) proves that Elon musk is aligned with money, not morals, not human rights, just fucking $$$. linking that article proving musk personally ensured starlink would not help Ukraine, and thinking that was a good thing? He’s attempting to incite a civil war in the UK, attempting to influence the US election via twitter, and he’s a really just a silver spoon apartheid slave jewel mine produced asshole and here you are saying “he’s a necessary evil”, yeah fucking right ignoramus.

          Those are not my words. Not even Elon’s. Those are the words of the author of Elon’s biography, Walter Isaacson. What Elon said is:

          If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.

          The reason Ukraine can’t use Starlink in Russia (or occupied territories) is because Starlink is not enabled there due to US sanctions to Russia. Enabling it would be literally illegal for him to do. He also added later that had he been contacted by US officials and told to enable it, he would have, but they didn’t.
