 The Daily Beast is reporting that Elon Musk ordered engineers to switch off his Starlink satellites just as Ukraine was preparing to attack the Russian naval fleet with drones. He said he feared nuclear retaliation by Russia. It’s high time we ask the question: How much power and influence does it make sense to hand just one person? 
 @98042630 This episode raises even more questions. How did Elon know when and where the operation was happening so as to disable communications at the critical moment where the attack would fail and the drone assets lost? What other operations is he meddling with? Is he sharing any comms or location information gleaned from #Starlink with the Russians.

 @98042630 Billionaires are an existential threat to democracy.
Democracies formed because of the concentration of unelected power, this is no different. 
 @98042630 Just one fucking idiot white supremacist* at that
