David Frum sums up the Elon Musk decision to disable Starlink so that Ukraine couldn’t attack Russian vessels with drones: https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/111/030/601/784/922/317/original/85945b62c029bc71.jpg
@98042630 When you do something really, really, REALLY stupid like contracting out a vital national security function to a psychotic sociopath like Musk, this is what you get.
@98042630 I said earlier: It strikes me that if Elon Musk acted as he has, as a citizen of China, or Russia, or Saudi Arabia, he would be in prison (or dead) by now. He depends on the American system, but as a free rider, not understanding it. Even more ironically he does seem to love those countries where he could not survive.
@98042630 They should revoke his citizenship, seize his assets and deport him. He can go live in Russia. #ElonMusk #treason #starlink https://cdn.mastodon.coffee/media_attachments/files/111/030/855/101/131/728/original/1b47e2e2edcb3352.png
@98042630 I guess my message to the holdouts on Musk's platform is, "If you won't leave Twitter/X because of the army of trolls, psybots, unmoderated racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and xenophobia, along with an ocean of disinformation and authoritarian propaganda, will you finally leave out of patriotism?

@98042630 "Not enabling" is not the same thing as "disabling".
