    I know they’re almost all bots and various foreign state actors shit-stirring for their own agendas, but the comments supporting him on Twitter are just depressing. You can see the wheels of cognitive dissonance spinning at 10,000 RPM.

    All the other shit aside, it bothers me that so many areas now rely on Starlink, handing Elon the keys to just cut access for whomever whenever.

      I was at a gay campground last summer and the guy I was with pointed out two Starlink receivers, we were both amazed that community-oriented queer men would just fork over money so they could watch TV. At a campground. They weren’t even boomers, they were Gen Xers. People are just so addicted to modern convenience they don’t care about who’s supplying it.

      Alec kinda hammered this in with his last Technology Connections video briefly.

      It really was easier/better to launch millions of sattelites into space instead of just getting AT&T or whatever other telecom to extend a cable 50 yards? Really?

        The coverage at sea is pretty helpful. Ideally it should be under UN control, if just to stop every country or block wanting to set up their own version and causing massive amounts of orbital clutter.

      I actually built a LoRa network with a mate, if we stretch our antenas we can cover almost 300km with little to no energy but the latency is absolutely trash, though communication wise it works alright.

      We should have less and less trust handling our data like we currently do.

        I’m in the process of starting with some LoRa stuff myself, and just waiting on hardware to arrive. Can you provide any details on what you’re using hardware-wise? I’m assuming that 300km is pretty much obstacle-free?

    So, basically, he shot himself in the foot lying about trying to shoot his shot to the worlds most well known pedo, and NOW he’s trying to get some goodboy points by picking a political side in international affairs, thereby making himself (and his assets) viable war targets…

    So, maybe (hopefully), the next shots will be Russia shooting down Musk’s satellites. Thereby, tanking yet another of Musk’s companies and maybe investors will finally stop sucking him off as yet another business of his goes tits up because of his wreckless political interference.

      Epstein was pretty obviously mossad but both russia and israel seem to both use the blackmail materials. Interesting how that woks from such a “staunch US ally” as israel is portrayed to be. How are they sharing this stuff?

      Side note, I suggest a change to english writing standards whereby loathsome words like “putin” or “israel” become exceptions to capitalization rules and are always lower case. “US” is an exception only because it breaks the writing flow and reads as ‘us’.

      There is a percentage of any population that just repeats shit they heard their role models say, like it’s the gospel. Image repair is going to involve starting “cool projects,” getting good interviews with popular influencers, and coaching a swarm of people to ignorantly support him for the “sake of humanity” or some shit. This is a weird faucet of human society, but look at how well it works…

          It’s like you want to see what’s at the bottom of a well, but someone turns on a spigot of water to cause ripples. You can’t tell whether what’s down there is more round or square, now. Later they add food coloring, and you can’t really recall by this point if the object was originally red or orange… Soon they toss in some disco balls, and now you’ve gotten distracted by the shiny sparkles everywhere. Eventually, the well fills and the disco balls float to the top. Everyone around you is remarking at how beautiful the well looks, and you’re the only one left wondering what the fuck just happened.

            Then if you bring up how something was at the bottom, those people will attack you for being ignorant of the wells beauty, and all humanity gains from that well. They’ll tell you, you should be more grateful.

      Yet another feather in the cap of unspeakably craven, deranged, objectively evil things he has done.

      I guess uh, expect him to use his latest baby from his latest baby mama as a human shield for photo ops more often.

      This is not image repair. Musk shared starling in exchange for Russia’s silence. But the files are out so Russia didn’t do their end of the deal, so musk removes his end of the deal.

      He’s always been like this, in the past he’s just had handlers that managed his image. I think around 2015 he fired his secretary mommy that had been controlling his worst behaviors for over a decade.
