-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm as far from a Musk fan as you can get, but this whole narrative of him causing serious damage to the Ukrainian effort because of Starlink smells like western media establishing a fall guy to point to for when the effort ultimately fails. The US gov has subsidized ALL of his businesses so heavily, if Starlink were really that valuable to the operation, they would have forced his hand one way or the other. I was equally as skeptical when they touted Starlinks value in the very beginning of the dispute.
Holy fuck I’d love it if they blamed it all on musk that’d be so funny
If Biden had Musk strung up for treason or whatever, I'd think about voting for him for a half second
I'll get all communists I know to vote for Biden if he promises to execute Elon Musk.
I'm not trusting any Biden promises. He needs to actually execute Elon before I consider voting for him.
Holy shit I would knock on doors for him
Yeah, weren't they hailing it as the saving grace for the efforts at the beginning? Imo they are about to start backtracking hard and admitting defeat and are getting all the scapegoats lines up.
