I wouldnt be suprised is putin beat his ass. They both might be old decrepit fucks but putin has martial arts training at least. This response to one of my countries government officials is also what pushed me over to finally dropping as much american everything as possible.
Scheduled to arrived by 2030, but the EU is developing one and it's sounding pretty sweet: https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/eu-space/iris2-secure-connectivity_en
There are already alternatives. Use a mixture of them so they compete with each other for your business. https://www.wired.com/story/starlink-replacement-ukraine-eutelsat-oneweb-project-kuiper-amazon-iris2-elon-musk/
As soon as possible ban Starlink for security, spying risk.
Are we really allowing this American man belittle our institutions for his own profit?
No, we're apparently letting a South African man, who is/was an illegal immigrant in the US, and who's maternal side of the family fled from Canada because his grandfather was a Nazi and was trying to drum up support to make Canada a Techno-feudalistic oligarchy, do those things.
I am with you on this, I’ve been boycotting everything American for that matter, and Musk’s services in particular.
This post was the final straw for me. I deleted all my accounts on non crucial US based services yesterday when I first saw it. I was already angry with what is going on but it was a shallow meme boycott consisting of only drinking kofola now instead of coca cola. It got serious yesterday. Unfortunately I still need to think about the strategy to quit Google since pretty much everything I do is connected to my Gmail.
My strategy is to use both Gmail and Proton and I'm slowly moving from one to another.
Make sure to leave bad review specifically about those services being bad and poor quality.
Isn't it really frightening to let a super rich ketamine infused buffoon get this much power?
Making friends. Everywhere just making friends.
The irony of elon calling anyone else "small" is hilarious....
Elon is quite large actually, especially his torso.
Yup, nothing else of him is either big or medium sized. He has some complexes
Rubio shouted at Musk, so poor Elon took it out on a foreign country's government official and called him "little man"
Put them down like rabid dogs.
Starlink is just putting up cubesats with basic programming variations. The EU space agency can easily provide a competitive service that values freedom and democracy.
The "putting up" is hard to do, especially cheaply.
"easily"
Oligarchs used to act the part, and have the appearance of being "classy".
Now Oligarchs are just a bunch of 4chan users.
Wtf is: "Be quiet, small man"
That's not an elegant way of speaking.
These people are supposed to be "upper class"?
🤣
Nah, Elon thinks it's elegant. As in "Ha ha, I spoke like a big boy. I heard that badass line on TV once, on one of those shows I'm not supposed to watch. Bet that guy is now red on face and is so distraught he won't be able to eat broccoli on supper and his mom will yell at him. Owned."
"Be quiet, small man" sounds like a thing Dennis would scream at Mac in IASIP 😄 THE GOLDEN GOD! Dude is copying a comically psycho character from a show, thinking he's being sooo cool 😎
That's how dumb shit argue on the Internet. Ad hominem.
Hubris. This is hubris.
Nemesis will follow, motherfucker, the Moires don't fuck around.
BYD is already eating Tesla's lunch and I'm waiting for another to replace SpaceX.
Not fast enough in Copenhagen. Teslas have become so numerous that within 500 metres i counted 25 Teslas parked or driving around. And that was just 1 street.
Copenhagen is saturated with clean, perfectly un-vandalised Teslas...
