I get what you're saying, but I refer to my car as...my car. I didn't turn a wrench in its construction, nor did I design it, but it's still mine.
Except for the fact that he doesn't make anything, he pays people who do, then takes the credit for it. Is his way with everything: companies, gaming profiles...

It's time for Europe to finally get their own solutions.
It's called One Web by Eutelsat. Same latency and reliability, but less Mb/s about 70 Mb/s (and does it matter much for the few Kb packets to relay small amounts of data?).
Here's one: https://www.skydsl.eu/en-DE/Personal/Satellite-internet/Tariffs/Private/Overview
Seems to be about half as expensive as Starlink. 700ms latency though. So you won't be gaming skydsl.
When the war was turning in Ukraine's favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.
Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.
~~They're presumably talking about the Kursk Oblast.~~ Edit: probably not, see responses.
IIRC that was long after that. The initial shutoff of Starlink happened around the explosions targeting the Crimean bridge and them introducing their naval drones.

Ah, the full Hitler, a bold move let’s see how it plays out.
He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.
Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin' Russia over nepo-baby "gamer", "engineer" Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol

I hate Zuck but in this match I’m thinking if it’s not mutually assured destruction, then I might root for Zuck. Elon is becoming a very big problem.
Zuck is actually fit, trains, and is 10 years younger, hence why Elon chickened out.
Or 400 pounds of semtex under the cage. 2 birds, one ring.
I would literally give away a kidney to see that live, through binoculars from about a half mile away.

Also a reminder that everyone who is not a Musk sheep should leave Twitter.
Elon is an absolute clown there are alternatives they just aren’t as robust at this time.
Hey, rest of the Democratic world, there are a whole bunch of ex feds right now needing funds and direction for their anger. Maybe you should tap into them if you need someone to rid you of this meddlesome Chancellor.
did elon really say "pipe down pipsqueek" like that worked well for drake? man people with canadian citizenship gotta stop doing that.
I think the ritual to siphon all Canadian aggression into Justin Bieber every year is beginning to fail.
Soary :(
Is this exchange real? Surely this can't be, right?
He's a ketamine addict, so that's probably affecting his cognitive facilities to a degree.
What are the clinical manifestations of Ketamine addiction? I'm asking honestly, because I don't know, and I wonder if he ticks the boxes.

Musk has completely lost touch with reality at this point and thinks he's god.

Looks like it is real https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1898759859459203457#m
OK, so this is where things are now. Wow.
Yeah I could not believe myself. But honestly people in position of power need to be out of twitter. It craves and feed on attention.

I can’t stand the fact that Poland is doing Literally What they wanted - spending a lot of money on defence. Yet, they bark at them.
nothing will ever be good enough for the fascist. the point is not deals, the point is capitulation. there are winners and losers to the fascist. there is no mutual aid or benefit
Thou are right! Someone once said that
The US does not have allies. The US has only countries that are useful for a while.
Henry Kissinger
To be fair he said a lot of things including:
It is not a matter of what is true that counts, but a matter of what is perceived to be true.

That would be Eutelsat, but it is smaller in scale (at the moment) and therefore more expensive. It's also said to be less userfriendly, but that should be possible to fix.
There's so many places where strategically important resources have been delegated wholesale to the US. Now, concerning mankind, it's theoretically better, of course, to not overdo it with wasteful redundancies. But, unfortunately, we're not talking about some kind of UN-controlled infrastructure, which is maintained and used internationally. Unfortunately, it's controlled by people like this, and that is now coming home to roost.

More competition will ensure the oligarchs to behave.
I don't trust the EU tech owners, but I recognize that they are at an disadvantage to the US counterpart (and nationalism is a useful tool to sell their product) so they won't be making overt moves to dismantle European democracy.

Pride goeth before the fall, they say. The hellish part is the wait.
There are alternatives to starlink though. This guy thinks he owns it all
The shares of the most likely alternative are going through the roof.
