    You donā€™t fucking blackmail the government

    lol, only he obviously is, soā€¦
    And I guarantee he was long before starlink - the riches man on earth doesnā€™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 donā€™t understand how anyone can still look at anything this man does and think itā€™s benign, or worse, cluelessā€¦
