Can Nations Trust Elon Musk?

About as much as you can trust a US trade deal or protection agreement

Well raised and the answer is no. Business with such a company cannot be trusted.

You know he already said this was a US Military / Trump imposed thing that he had nothing to do with, but you don't mention it. Kinda disappointed in you, Ryan.

I think Poland 🇵🇱 is as well paying for 25k Starlink modems on monthly basis:

What do you mean by "if that's true"? Elon Musk ordered Starlink shutdown during Ukraine's 2022 Kherson offensive. It is no longer an isolated incident but a recurring pattern. Elon Musk is now siding with Putin for the second time in this war.

Name another company that has 1/100th the capability or the connection speed of Starlink and I'll wait

Name how you can have that capabilty if the chairman decides to turn it off on a whim. Then your capability drops to zero. I'll wait.

@Spearhead2024 Violation of the terms of service

@RyanMcbeth Then go ahead and find another company that can compete with Starlink. I’ll wait. Show me another company that has that capability and its own rocket program lol

@RyanMcbeth I meant Elon was within his rights to terminate because of the terms of service for Starlink

@RyanMcbeth Maybe, but we dont know what happened. Ryan making a video pointing blame to elon with no proof is wild tho. Could of been a russian cyber attack, could of been a host of things. Ryan is falling off.

Can nations trust the United States? From the outside, that's an unfortunate no! The damage Trump and now Musk have done, will take decades to repair.

We should wartime nationalize SpaceX to make sure this cannot happen again. Trump would never do that because he is a Russian puppet. Witkoff just told Putin he is a humanitarian. It's sick we vote with Russia, Belarus, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Sudan at the UN now.

Only an idiot would trust musk or the 🇺🇸 government. And this is coming from a member of the 'Murica generation in CEE. When 🇺🇸 will face 🇨🇳, I hope (and will advocate for) 🇪🇺 will extract as much as possible from🇺🇸 in exchange for help, but make sure both 🇨🇳🇺🇸 lose.

Yeah and this is the guy we all just assume will start providing UHI to poor commoners when our jobs are obsolete

Amazon Leo has 400+ satellites online with service starting soon and will rival starlink. Nationalize coms via nasa, as it should be, then bid out with contingency SLA’s that include billion dollar fines for treason like Elon is committing. When his treasonous ass is hauled before congress in January, billion dollar fines via legislation should be in order. 2029 is when his treasonous ass can be deported or jailed.

@joni_askola

He should be sued out of existence. People were killed because of what he (and possibly others in the trump administration) did.

No, he cannot be trusted with anything war-related. I'm not anti-Elon. He's mostly right about Islamism. But he should not have control of military-related assets in that way.

Elon Musk aside, any outside government, corporation, or individual (ally, trustworthy, or not) having the ability to unilaterally restrict something as critical to mission success as internet connectivity is a massive strategic risk for Ukraine or any other country on earth.

No

Starshield has ownership over the hardware and decades-long maintenance contracts, under the direct guidance of Trump's own Space Force and surely the most serious of the throttling. Your post asks why "trust Elon?" is a simple cover for another Trumpy dastardly deed, gang sign.

Don't care. I'm on the winning side

How much did Ukraine pay Starlink for internet service? Oh yeah. $0 What does Starlink owe to Ukraine? Nothing. Perhaps if they had a contract, things might be different. 🤷‍♂️

Yes Elon Musk is a trustworhy man,even if bad people say somthing else

The background is that the whole world is getting Russian oil except for America America is getting fertilizer and uranium they need Russian resources the world has become too interconnected the other thing is leverage if Russia doesn't think it's going to get anything back there's no need to come to the table

Pretty said that this is a even needs to spoken about. Obviously, he can not be trusted.

Kind of like how China stopped the operations for power generation in Spain after it got bad press.

Nothing you just said was true I can't believe you're listening to the Wall Street journal

No.

Starlink has a terms of service that prevent use of it for offensive operations unlike Starshield. If they violate the terms of service and make SpaceX’s network a potential target of Russia then he should be able to pull it for violating the terms of service.

Perhaps? If this was Starlink which if being paid by Germany would almost certainly be the case, then all they did was make it the speed regular Starlink typically is restricted at which is 160km/h or less. The connectivity itself or data speed was not affected. If that's the case the analogy would be Germany paid for coach seats but there was a seat in first class that the FA said they could sit in but now they are being moved back to coach.

Why the hell should elon have his satellites help ukranian pigs bomb civilians? Fat fuk needs to use his head

pick you're poison, Ryan...Carney/Trump & others-I have more faith in Musk🤨

"SpaceX and U.S. policy limit commercial Starlink and military-grade Starshield usage in Ukraine to civilian and defensive activities, explicitly prohibiting offensive military actions" which sound like Zelensky is breaking that agreement too.

@FlyingDutchPall

Thats bad, I suppose he does not care about his image.
