Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely,

Zelenskyy with the receipts: Quote from Zelenskyy: "To understand whether these are really technical problems at SpaceX, or whether it is some kind of operation or agreement to restrict us, to disconnect us, to prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people... we sent a couple of cars with Starlink to the territory of European Union…

In 2022, Musk refused to activate Starlink for a Ukrainian operation near Crimea. Reuters later reported a further shutdown during the Kherson counteroffensive. But surely this latest incident is completely inexplicable mystery.

No, I didn’t admit he disabled an air defence system. Temporary speed limits on terminals in motion are not the same as “pressing a button to disable a military air defence system” or flipping a kill switch. That distinction was the entire point. You’re just redefining the words until they match the claim you already wanted to make. Starshield is…

❗️Zelensky says Starlink restrictions remain active in Ukraine, disrupting interceptor drones, logistics and military operations. According to him, connections cut out completely above 161 km/h, causing drones to be lost. Ukraine then tested vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals inside the EU at speeds above 180 km/h, where he says the systems…

These satellites are all in a (very) low orbit. They will orbit the globe in about 100 minutes (give or take), which means they'll only be over Europe for a relatively short part of that time. A system to cover Europe can certainly use fewer satellites than one that wants to have global coverage, but it would still need enough to have…

America turning inwards would be a step that hurts them a lot. I can see an easy path to the breakdown of the union of states into 3 - 5 zones. East coast, west coast, middle, border north states and maybe something else. Control of those would be highly contested and funded by the Theils, Zuckerberg's and Musk's for control. Not saying it wouldnt…

US still hobbling Ukraine's defense by restricting Starlink operating speed to 161 km/h. EU territory unaffected, only Ukraine, pointing to deliberate action by US, not technical problem. US betrayal continues, Ukrainian soldiers and citizens at increased risk.

❗️Elon Musk approached Trump with the idea of imposing Starlink speed limits in Ukraine, The Telegraph reports, citing four sources familiar with the discussions. One source said Trump “agreed” with Musk’s proposal, paving the way for the Pentagon to restrict Starshield, the military-grade system used by Ukraine. A senior source said: “The reality…

We already live in a corporate hellscape kid. I'm not debating your points, youre absolutely right about the two party system being inherently flawed and lop sided.

I like your point of view, but I don't think that in this socio-economic system is possible to put your people in charge. To win elections you need news coverage, tvs talking about you, social media algos that feeds your content to users to influence their vote.

Citizens have been executed in the streets protesting. The No Kings protest was the biggest one day march. The George Floyd protests during his first term were the biggest ongoing protests.

I bet Musk wonders why nobody likes him. Nobody loves him. He has nobody. I bet he thinks, "Look at what I have . Look at what I've amassed. Why don't people appreciate what I've done? Why are the only people near me because of my money ?" This is why, Elon... It's because you don't care about people. You're an asshole.

I love the irony of you suggesting this in an article about how two unstable billionaires are responsible for this betrayal(and it is a betrayal on a major level considering it literally stopped defensive tech from working) and your solution is take control away from one unstable one and give it to the other.

You know how I said that "It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Elon Musk suggested" the idea of making Starlink unusuable by Ukrainian drones / drone interceptors?! Or how, when two chronic liars accuse each other of lying, they are probably both lying, in meaningful ways? Well... guess what?! Looks like Elon COLLUDED with Trump to hobble…

That’s what we call democracy, when we elect politicians who care about the will of and serves its people. Would you like we have it like in the USA, Russia and China where there’s one conman on the top who does whatever the fuck he wants without any repercussions?
