Elon Musk is afraid of Putin's revenge. Crucial infrastructure like Starlink should be handled by the government, not a corp. Otherwise the corp will prioritize shareholders and profit rather than human's life
Putin 100 percent has kompromat on Musk. Likely the pedophile shit he did with Trump and Epstein.
I'm so tired of these literal cartoon villains having power I stg
I think he’s basically gullible. His companies have given him so much money, he just assumes he’s right. However he doesn’t understand diplomacy and Putin played him. He should have deferred to the state department, who deal with that BS all the time
A couple of years ago, Musk stated that Putin is substantially richer than he is.
Add to that Putin's bloodthirsty lunacy. Musk may actually fear his wrath.
But then comes the issue, which government? As Starlink is global infrastructure.
Pretty sure he's talking about the government of the country the company is registered in. As the is the only one that can realistically nationalise it.
Starlink is only 'global' as long as Elon approves of the GPS coordinates. With that in mind, 'global' is about a joke, it's at Elon's whim...
