    You don’t fucking blackmail the government

    lol, only he obviously is, so…
    And I guarantee he was long before starlink - the riches man on earth doesn’t get that way and stay that way without owning at least a handful of politicians (and now his own media outlet of which he has absolute control and millions of existing followers ready to worship his every word).

    I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can still look at anything this man does and think it’s benign, or worse, clueless…

      With the rich, never attribute to stupidity what you can attribute to malice.
