For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
Now you know who runs global military internet access, and it's not America.
How much money, technology, and connections did Elon get from America again? I wonder how they will deal with this problem, it seems like it's a pretty big one to put your military capabilities under the control of the enemy. We may start seeing countries downing these things and earth's orbit will not be hospitable
One of the few things the billionares arent immune to is the US military they will force ur to comply or u will be disapeared.
I dont know why you got downvoted.
Look at the CIAs laundry list of shit they have pulled, fuck around and find out hits differently when intelligence agencies have beef.
Exactly man the CIA is no better than any other intellegence agency just with a facade of freedom.
Blackmail is the more likely path than force... But they'll likely be competing against Russia on that front.
Oh, he could actually get in trouble for this one. He’s sort of tanked a big part of his reputation already through the Twitter disaster, the WV market leveling, the questions about reliability, robustness, and FSD, and the rolling disaster that is Cybertruck.
I don’t mean a “go to jail for treason” kind of trouble. I mean “Pay $500M and turn over full control of the government part of your network to the DoD” kind of trouble.
SpaceX lives almost entirely by eating the government cheese, right? They’re launching our satellites and I think they’re taking research funding. I read an article the other day that they’re losing a significant amount on every new private customer they add to the network.
I wonder how much of that bleeding is payed for by the governments paying to use their services, or outright bribe them.
