Musk saying he wants his internet to be used for peaceful thing is pretty funny considering the direction of twitter, and his overall points of view, let alone his blatant disregard for the health and safety of his employees.

I guess peace is another of the words that change depending on the situation, for musk.

you're asking civilians to be responsible for killing people who deserve it or worse, to be responsible if they fuck up for heroes dying.

There once I a time when I respected this person. What the actual fuck.

I once thought he was a somewhat awkward nerd who fell upward from wealth into insane wealth.

Turns out, no, at one point he just had a functioning PR team.

Was it the "pedo guy" incident for you too? It was for me.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

That's the point where I realised he was kinda an asshole, yes.

[-] Lordran_Hollow@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I think that was the point for a lot of people. I certainly was one of them as well, he really revealed to the world he was a petty little shit.

We all used to shit our pants, so don't judge yourself too harshly. At least you've learned from this mistake more quickly. (I assume.)

This should be treason

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

It should be nationalized.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

is?

[-] TechDiver@kbin.social 46 points 1 year ago

He should be in jail for treason. Also he's a piece of shit

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, because we're not at war with Russia it can't count as treason, but there's a whole host of other laws he violated so they could definitely get him on something.

Subverting the foreign policy of the United States is a crime, even if you aren't at war with that nation.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Yes, it very much is. But it still isn't treason

[-] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Actually, subverting the foreign policy of the United States is actually a form of treason.

Like, you can say "I think we should trade with Cuba"

You cannot provide funding to a company that ships aid to Cuba. That is illegal, and actually a form of treason.

What Musk did is the latter. He saw a geopolitical situation the state department was handling, and inserted himself and his company into it. Up to thst point is fine. But then he inserted himself into the decision-making process of US strategic command because we was a vendor to the government.

If you supply rockets to send up satellites, the time to object is before you agree and load payloads to send up satellites. Not during or after.
