The U.S. needs to assume control of Starlink as a national security threat after the midterm elections.

His ex girlfriend said he told her that he messed with the 2024 elections and I believe her. He should be investigated and jailed

u/xxforrealforlifexx 6h ago

He should be stripped of his American citizenship and deported to Siberia

He really wants to go to Mars.

I completely agree. She has absolutely nothing to gain by doing this. On the contrary, I'd say she's taking the biggest risk out of anyone by speaking out against the richest man in the world and his involvement with this administration.

Musk should spend time in a cell until both congressional defense oversight committees have access to all his user names and passwords for all of his Starlink & SpaceX online access, plus any means of communication linked to Eastern Europe. Starlink just became a war munition subject to export restriction by Congress. Treason is their bailiwick,

Maybe we should livestream it 😀

The people are awake. These Oligarchs jumped the gun, they're finished. It's not going to be immediate but it a certainty.

u/nanoatzin 5h ago

A great many things just became war munitions subject to government regulation and strict export control by Congress, with Starlink at the top of that list.

Absolutely we must nationalize Starlink.

Go for all of spacex. The NASA people they poached can go back to their old desks.

This is impossible. Whats possible though, is Ukraine start an investigation on musk that caused civilian deaths, then ask him to be extradited to stand trial.

3

u/nanoatzin 5h ago

It is very much possible to assume control of a private business that is involved in treason

1

u/ALonelyImpulse92 5h ago

Trump depends upon Musk. He has the control of voting machines.

u/New_Ad_3010 8h ago

Lol yeah. Suuuuurrrrrrree they will.

u/ZeroVoltsGiven 8h ago

We stop the investigation if he gives us $500M

1

u/sparrowhawk88 6h ago

Every single household should get an even split of his $1 trillion wealth.

u/shewholaughslasts 5h ago

Nah, I want him in jail and/or stripped of citizenship more than I want that money.

u/InducedLobotomy 1h ago

Why not both?

u/KilgoreT59 8h ago

Sure, like anything will happen to one of tRump's boys.

u/Jimirich808_505 8h ago

I cant wait till he's either in jail or deported.

u/Opster79two 7h ago

I saw a clip where a reporter asked Trump if he did it, he said "I don't know anything about it, but we looked at it this morning and it was fine"

He often contradicts himself when he lies, which by the way is ALL THE TIME!

Republicans are slaves to the new corporate oligarchy. They won't do shit.

u/HotSeaworthiness7536 7h ago

He’s just taking the fall for Trump in an attempt to keep Rs in power to stop the incoming investigations.

u/Actaeon_II Prefer Coffee But Fill My Cup 🫖 6h ago

Political theater, they won’t investigate squat. He gave foreign actors free access to national databases and no one even blinked, except for an investigation into the whistleblower

u/DonnyMox 6h ago

No complacency. VOTE BLUE!

u/billyo3827 6h ago

There’s no way to believe musk would do this without an okay from trump. Everything Rubio and hegs say is a lie. T of course is nothing but lies.

u/marion85 4h ago

Under investigation by the GOP?!?!

SUUUUUUUURE he is!!!🤣😂

u/VinCubed 3h ago

GOP Committee member: Mr. Musk, did you order the Starlink throttle?

Musk: Of course not.

GOP Committee chairperson: Good enough for me, Hearing adjoured!

u/Twisted-Mentat- 8h ago

I looked up this Republican and he actually seems to be somewhat reasonable for a US politician.

He's supposedly the most bipartisan Republican so maybe something will come out of this but I'm not hopeful.

Lyin' Brian only votes with Dems when the vote doesn't matter

This NAZI is a civilian interfering in a war!

Who the hell does he think he is?

u/Demonkey44 6h ago

This is Republican speak for “Why haven’t you donated to my reelection campaign yet, Elon?“ It’s a shakedown.

After they get their pay

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 1h ago

"It sure would be a shame if you were investigated Elon...."

This is what I hear

u/plump_wizard Humanitarian ♥️ 6h ago

You know all of these scammers operating out of places like Cambodia and Myanmar all use Starlink since they have no other access to the internet. If they shut down those the scammers would have a lot more difficulty ruining peoples lives.

u/UnluckyCommission111 7h ago

More election politics?

u/Apprehensive_Bird357 6h ago

lol. Betcha they don’t investigate.

2

u/OpenDaCloset 2h ago

They won’t investigate a damn thing! All of our current politicians are corrupted by money and do nothing in the best interests of the American people.

u/duderos 1h ago

Yeah, it's the hope that kills you.

u/Taspaco 7h ago

Be assured it's going to happen.

u/lone_float 7h ago

Well if this isn't 100% lip service, wonderful Mr. Fitzpatrick. Now get to it

u/popejohnsmith 7h ago

Calculated, pre-meditated murder...

u/Crenorz 7h ago

lol your falling for the typical trump - OOHHH LOOK HERE crap. Have fun with this, the next nothing burger.

so stupid where there are a TON of real issues

As in - IF Starsheild - Elon has 0 control, USA military has full control - that was part of the deal long ago and listed all over. NOT to say he did not recommend or ask for it to be done, but he has no "control" over it.

I swear Elmo slowed down/blocked the network several times in the past, it's hard to keep track at this point.
