"I made him an offer ... and he refused."

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Saturday that the U.S. government has had conversations with Elon Musk about the use of Starlink satellite internet in Ukraine.
SpaceX this month said it has taken steps to prevent Ukraine’s military from using the company’s Starlink service for controlling drones in the region during the country’s war with Russia.

I am sure Musk has already been threatened.
"I made him an offer ... and he refused."
Blinken vs Musk = Mickey Mouse vs Patton
Sure, tell me that the US was not the ones who targeted the Russian barracks in Russia? Tell me that Ukraine has the technology to use satellite targeting and UAV’s to fly deep into Russia with precision? It seems Blinken wants to control what is hit in Russia since we are the ones doing this directly. I mean its now pretty much out that we destroyed the gas pipelines in the Baltic sea and we provided the technology that hit the Russian ships.
Another thing I’ll jump on is the US is “Concerned” that China is giving Russia non-military support in the war. What are we doing? Direct military support. We are at war against Russia. All this “fooling around” is fooling only US government and a few dumb Democrat followers. We are only minutes away from a nuclear strike from Russia and the public is acting like nothing is really going on.
Why don’t they download some child porn on his phone and then throw him in jail, until he complies?
“Nice company you’ve got there....”
Um ..... you are in tune!
We were highlighting this very entrapment tactic back in 2018.
I hope that Musk doesn’t fall for the trap. If he allows it, then they will own him, which might be the objective anyway.
There’s no war declaration to allow asset takeover.
Screw Biden and the wackos who support him and the war in Ukraine.
Since when does the US Government Obey The Law?
Everybody knows ... It’s Different When We Do It!
Nowadays it's: "Cute kid you got there" ...
I’m genuinely curious just how hard a nuclear strike Russia could actually deliver upon us? I’m becoming more confident that the sh*t shape of their regular forces and munitions means that their nukes and missiles are sh*ttily maintained as well. Why choose to live with Russia run by a nuke threatening tyrant if the opportunity present itself to take that threat out forever? I think hes bluffing and I think the US thinks so too. That’s why we are going to escalate and escalate because they are bluffing about using their nukes. And if they aren’t? Take them out.
Change my mind?
Russian submarines. They can sit in the waters off the coast and hit us within 10 minutes. I do not know the status of the missiles in the subs. It’s easy to be an armchair warrior. But from someone who has been in the military and trained extensively for a war against Russia, the threat of a nuclear devastation is real. The outcome of that is real. To this day we maintain numerous command centers scattered all over the US in the event some are wiped out. And reality is, we poke the bears and badgers of other countries and in a sense are asking for trouble. We have yet to have a SoS that can negotiate with these countries and end the threat.
Weren’t they the ones flying us to the ISS when NASA didn’t have a way to get us there? I wouldn’t gamble nuclear Armageddon on the state of their ability to launch missiles
The feds already own Musk, for all practical purposes, as Musk understands better than anybody. To the extent Tesla is, and ever was, viable as an EV manufacturing company, it is only because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Obama administration chose -- there was no statutory mandate which EPA had to follow -- to design its then-new GHG tailpipe standards in a way that allowed EVs to participate in the GHG "credits" generating element of that program.
To the extent Tesla is "profitable" at all, it is so only because the company is able to sell GHG credits to other OEMs that need them for compliance purposes. Put simply, the feds stood up Tesla from day one, and governmental policy continues to keep the company in business.
Meanwhile, you think Musk would get to play Rocket Boy with Space X absent the feds giving him permission?
Truth is, Elon Musk can't take a leak without government say-so. His carefully crafted image as a "small government libertarian" is ludicrous, in light of that reality. He knows how far he can push, and he knows when he needs to play ball.

30 or 40 million dead in the US tops! It would be a cakewalk. We would easily “win”.
