    Any system capable of manipulating the outcomes of international conflict needs to become property of the government via eminent domain…especially if that system is used…especially if used by an entrepreneur operating without oversight.

    Fucking charge him with something. This is insane… If it’s not treason, it sure as hell is undermining the billions of dollars in aid were sending Ukraine. We’ve sent 76 billion dollars so far.

      Stop trying to tell a private citizen and businessman what he can and can’t do with his own business

        Exactly, you can’t have your cake and eat it - if we want to live in a sane and moral world we shouldn’t let private citizens own things that are important, especially not satellite infrastructure

      It may be a violation of the Logan Act, which makes it illegal for private citizens to interfere with foreign relations.

    Well, the USA and EU also attach conditions on delivered weapons - not to be used against targets in Russia. Also, maybe he is afraid of Russians shooting down his satellites, as they threatened to do.

    Wow, this thread. All he did was switching off his satellite network though, not somehow sabotaged the operation.

      All the doctor did was switch off life support 🤷‍♂️ it’s not like they forced the patient’s body to shut down.

      Real “Stanly was attacked by his own heart” vibes.

        But it’s more like it’s doctor’s own life support system and the patient connected himself to it.

          imagine being so brainwashed that you think owning the life support machine morally entitles you to decide who is kept alive with it.

            Imagine being so brainwashed that you think since someone else owns a life support machine, you have the right to use it to kill people you don’t like.

                Nope. In this case the doctors machine isn’t a life support system, it’s more like an xray machine. The ownership remains the doctors the entire time. The doctor chooses to stop a patient who wants to use the machine to kill another patient.its his machine to begin with. The ONLY morally correct decision is to not allow it. Get mad at the doctor all you want, at the end of the day you’re advocating for murder.

                  You honestly think who owns the tool being used changes the morality of murder?

                  Nevermind that we’re actually talking about war between nation states, not a doctor stopping a hospital patient from, erm, repeatedly shooting someone else with X-ray radiation?

                  What a silly allegory you’ve come up with

            Good argument, but where do you draw the line? You can save someone right now by an act of a good will, but do you do it?

    Elon is not the president, a leader, the military, nor a government. This parasite should be in a prison or a brig at the very least. This is fucking treason.

    No crazy person should be allowed to have this much power. Starlink should be nationalized, and instead of a payout Elon can go to jail for all that market manipulation he’s constantly getting away with.

    I mean if a person does anything directly affecting a war (for any side) I’d say that person is a wartime volunteer.

    Wartime volunteers that have taken up arms are a absolutely viable target for military strikes.

    Just saying 🤷‍♂️

    That’s why he’s a billionaire: no sense of ethics or morality. Dude has outgrown the moral demands of the invisible hand since he’s its undeniable winner. So, like…why should he not interfere in war?
