if musk is proven to turn off the service at strategic points he could be asserted as enemy/foreign agent. Mind you the service is paid for. Foreign agents not adhering to the rules of war (declaration, wearing uniform) are not subject to geneva conventions and basically "free game" indeed. I dont think he knows what hes getting himself into.

Musk is a fascist, but I also believe this was not done without the blessing from the US administration after the deal with Putin. They just want to keep it at arms length because of the upcoming midterms

Most shareholders don't have a choice. Pension funds and 401k's are legally required to own a pool of all stocks which forces them to buy Tesla.

It's how Musk got to offload his overpriced SpaceX stock onto the public.

If you tell him the missile is going to Mars, he might board it voluntarily when he's high on Ketamine.

(Speaking of Ketamine, isn't it odd that US based fascist big wigs have such a weird penchant for horse medicine?)

And, perhaps most importantly, the investors who allowed Musk to go from just another moderately wealthy silicone valley dude to the wealthiest person on earth. And the FTC for not throwing him in jail for decades for stock market manipulation.

the world's richest man, backed by the full military and economic authority of the united states, israel, and russia, is probably relishing how much "he's getting himself into."

the dude is probably creaming his pants at the thought of being the ancap god he's always wanted to be.

Wait till you hear about Hugo Boss and BASF. fascist do not requiring their own cars (or clothing, or paint and zyklon B) fascists get to power with explicit help of the industrialists whenever a countries political leanings turn left wing and the oligarchs are in danger of paying their fair share.

Elon Musk has also provided $250M for Trump to get elected, and keeps funding GOP campaigns today.

Elon Musk backstabbed tesla owners when he bought twitter and started supporting trump instead of being politically neutral as before. It was a very bad idea for Biden to credit GM for EVs and not include Musk in automaker meetings.

They diversify sure. But are they required to have a pool of “all stocks?” (That would be quite a few.) The portfolio managers can choose what to include in the portfolio.

As pathetic as it sounds, yes. There was an abrupt change in Muskrat's behaviour after that snub. He swung hard towards Republicans immediately after it, and was very very loudly butthurt about it all over social media.

Should a grown man be that fragile, no.

But all evidence suggested he indeed was, and part of this hellscape we are in is because Dems shunned Tesla & Musk in a public way and damaged his apparently fragile ego.

I seem to recall him starting to go nuts on social media and podcasts long before the Biden administration. But I’m sure such a snub didn’t help things.

He stated this himself as one of "the" reasons. No one ever said it was "the" reason. He mentioned many other reasons, but this is "the" reason I agree with.

Lol @ the l33t script. I just switched to the pixel with graphene and it doesn't auto correct like my iPhone did. I just role with the mistakes.

Agree on the Biden bit. But think there's more to it. Saw a new documentary about Elon Musk and the lawsuits against Tesla concerning the failed autopilot, which have killed and injured several people. One of the main points in the movie was that Elon Musk started supporting Trump to put an end to the 3-4 lawsuits, which would have big consequences for Tesla and Musk, which it indeed did when Trump won. To me it sounds like that would also be a pretty big motivation for supporting Trump.

SpaceX should be nationalized.

Except then it would belong to the US so it just changes the man in charge of things and not for any better or worse really.

Perhaps such a satellite network should simply not be allowed to exist in the first place. Then there's no politics involved.

What do you suppose the reason was that Musk was excluded from those meetings with all the other corporate interests?

The SEC no? idk how laws work I am not a lawyer. All I see is if you have a ton of money the legal system does not appear to work at all.
