Yeah, there's no way one rich man should have so much geopolitical power.
He lives with no valid reason.
Musk is charging Ukraine $2500 per month per Starlink terminal, for over 250,000 terminals. Musk is making bank for shitty service (it's not fast enough for gaming) and then he cuts services for partisan purposes, costing Ukrainian lives.
The upsell maneuver reminds me of when Verizon tried to do the same thing to California wildfire response services when communications cut out during disaster control efforts. That didn't play well, either.

I just still cannot believe that happened and just...no one cares.
I'm being pedantic, but there are those of who obviously care that this fuck nugget did this.
Nobody who matters cares.
We don't matter :/

Goddamn this guy can't go one minute without being a complete piece of shit, his death will brighten my day
His death with be celebrated all over the world. I imagine it will be second only to Trump's at this point.
It will be a toss up between him and Putin and Netanyahu.

Comcast tiered service
Teslas in a few years:
"We notice that you're in an uncontrolled spin; uncontrolled spins violate Tesla's terms and conditions; your airbags have been deactivated. Upgrade now to the super spender safety plan for a one off payment of $30k to unlock instant airbag activation".
The dispute isn't that they're not allowed to use Starlink for murder drones, it's that the murder drone plan is more expensive.
SpaceX is not actually supposed to even have direct control over Starshield. It uses Starlink infrastructure, but is a military application that is supposed to be under the control of the federal government.
SpaceX shouldn't have the option to pitch different plans.
They have been opeque as to whether this is actually starshield or starlink. Elon is not supposed to have any control over starshield - that is supposed to be controlled by the Pentagon.
But also anyone who believes that Musk has no control over Starshield is welcome to start making bids on this Brooklyn Bridge I have for sale

Seems about right.
I hope there get to be alternatives to Starlink soon. Ideally it would be a publicly held company that (somehow) limits that no single individual can own more than 1% of the company. Honestly, that's how all publicly traded companies should be set up!!
Why doesnt ukraine use EutelSat?
"pray i don't alter it any further"...
The fact that a country under attack needs to pay for these kind of things is already insane by itself.
