Joe Biden dispatches his flying monkeys to hunt down Elon Musk
American Thinker ^ | 18 Dec, 2023 | Monica Showalter

When Joe Biden told reporters that Elon Musk "is worth being looked at," it's too bad Kamala Harris wasn't there to supply the cackle.

Shortly after that ominous statement, Biden dispatched his federal flying monkeys against Musk, suing him on big and little matters, all of which were on utterly spurious grounds. His real "crime," of course, was displeasing Biden and his Democrat political machine. Musk's exposure of federal collusion in the censoring of political speech during the 2020 election enraged this crew most of all, so Biden opened the cages.

Now they've flooded the zone with federal lawsuits against Musk and issued some incredible regulatory orders. It's as if the entire weight of the federal government is on him. The flying monkeys are filling the sky.

According to Liz Peek, writing at The Hill:

Biden is throwing everything it can find at Musk, hoping that the endless barrage of regulatory, reputational and legal attacks will cause the world’s wealthiest man to kneel before its authority. The viciousness of the investigations being conducted by the Department of Justice, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service against a successful American business leader is unprecedented. It says much more about the vindictive nature of Joe Biden than it does about the founder of Tesla, SpaceX and the Boring Company.

She cites two examples of outrageous behavior in her column, that of a recall ordered on Musk's self-driving cars, on a matter that could be fixed with a simple software adjustment, and that of disqualifying Musk's Starlink from supplying rural areas with broadband connections, on ridiculous claims that it doesn't know how to do...

Musk might consider living in the UK (or South Africa) until after the 2024 elections.

It’s about his lack, or more accurately unwillingness, to bribe the right politicians!

Democrats only use law for extortion and or else rules more are giving them the finger by the day.

I personally would not buy TSLA stock between now and the election in 2024. The Deep State will concoct everything they can to make Musk’s life difficult between now and then.

However, if Trump is elected, I’d buy it hand over fist.

When do they start calling him “Hitler” and claim they have a Russian Dossier on him?

Maybe Ayn Rand was prophetic.

Well... Putin is the biggest oligarch of all, making off with the Treasury no different than Biden. Putin is not losing money while in office like Trump did.

The left is going to deeply regret targeting Musk.

Musk’s Starlink is the single greatest thing to happen for folks in rural areas since rural electrification. We struggled for years to make our communications work. The landlines were unmaintained and sometimes so noisy as to be not useable. Eventually a cell tower went in but it was over 5 miles away and for the most part not useable. Then we went to a cellular router (now a Mofi Networks 5500) hooked to a large (4’ diameter) homebuilt parabolic antenna. Finally Starlink arrived and it is like night and day. One thing that many do not realized is that if you have good internet service but lousy or non existent cell service you can use wifi calling to get crystal clear cell phone service. We do this over Starlink. When at home we run the phones on wifi calling and put them in airplane mode so that they will ignore the spotty cell signal.

It depends on conditions. For various reasons we have two routers after the Starlink router. We see anything from 50 to 180 mbs down. No problem streaming, downloading, and using the phones all at the same time. We have a lot of trees so we did have to get the Starlink antenna 36 feet in the air. Your mileage may vary. Being above 64 degrees north, we had a lot of outages in the beginning but now there are more polar orbiting birds so we get pretty good coverage. It will still drop a phone call sometimes. My wife has no trouble with zoom meetings. To see where the birds are...

Another note Starlink is quite slow at fulfilling orders, so I would suggest you get your gear from brand “A” or some other retailer.
