 You know that Elmo is getting paid by the Russians to f*ck with Starlink in Ukraine.

This is after he got paid by the U.S. to put Starlink up there in the first place.

Meaning he got paid by you (if you live in the U.S. and pay taxes).

He's playing everyone for a fool and making bank.

 @603773e5 @47962f8a He didn’t get paid by the US to put up Starlink initially. The US military *is* paying SpaceX to develop a military version of Starlink, but that’s not deployed yet, and not what’s in use in Ukraine.

 @603773e5 One time, I recall the current Speaker of the House saying that there were two people Putin pays - Trump and Rohrbacher. I think we need to add another to that list, and ask why our NATSEC people (who we pay a lot of money) were not on top of this.

 @603773e5 it’s also conceivable that it was an act of love. The Nazi Internationale.
