Elon Musk ordered a “slowdown” to Starlink in Ukraine that set off a “panic” in the country and “confusion inside” the Trump administration.
The Wall Street Journal dropped a report on Tuesday diving into a disruption in Ukraine’s Starlink-internet service as they continue fighting a war with Russia.
According to U.S. officials and three people familiar with the situation, “Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration.”
An immigrant working in the defense industry took an action to aid an ally of an enemy the country has current ongoing conflicts with, causing a diplomatic incident.
Let’s see those charges!
All these people talking about treason and accountability for Elon… he’s helping Russia. Russia is America’s ally, not Ukraine. Ukraine is a smaller country, one that America wants to loot for minerals/resources once the war ends. Don Trump Jr married a Russian oligarch’s asset, had a wedding party paid for by that oligarch. They are more than friends, they are family, in the same way that old ‘royal’ families settled disputes by marrying their children off.
Why would Elon’s actions be considered treasonous/wrong, when he’s helping America’s friends? If Ukraine wanted to be friends with America, they should’ve sent busloads of young girls to the white house as tribute, not some war-weary Zelenski guy.
Just to be clear to any American thinking this is satirical – it’s not. America is friendly/helping dictators and fascists all over the place. Your country quite literally declared “Anti-fascists” the enemy. I don’t think anyone would be at all surprised, for example, if Trump took a vacation to North Korea’s weird ‘resort’ town, to hang out with Kim Jong.
The MAGA fucknuts wonder why the EU is abandoning US technology.
Do they? Do they even know about news regarding the EU?
the boss of future warfare
Interfering with a nations at war is a serious issue and he should definitely be held accountable. He should be acting as a common carrier. Deciding to turn off or slow access during wartime should absolutely have serious consequences with jail time and fines as well as the possibility of his service getting nationalized.
The fact that he has no fear and thinks he can do whatever he wants when Daddy Putin comes calling is ridiculous.
Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance. This typically includes acts such as participating in a war against one’s native country; attempting to overthrow its government; spying on its military, its diplomats, its officials, or its secret services for a hostile foreign power; or attempting to kill its head of state. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.
The offense of treason exists at both federal and state levels. The federal crime is defined in the Constitution (and is the only crime defined by it) as either levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies, and carries a sentence of death or imprisonment and fine.
This fuck should be tried at the Hague.
that’s why they banned the ICC from their Microsoft cloud
If this is true, and it wasnt the DoD, how on earth could they keep using starshield.
The whole fucking point of starshield is they own and operate it.
This is breaking like core tenant of what it is.
Such an idiotic move if true.
Edit: like earlier there were reports Musk suggested it to trump or whatever. Still horrible, but at least that kept control within the DoD which would keep the illusion they are in control.
Yes, Musk reportedly alteady said this wasn’t him, because he has no control. So someone is lying. On Par.
Time to nationalize Starlink if he’s gonna be fascist about it.
I cannot believe I’m reading this article. How is this not treason? How is this not giving our enemies aid and comfort? Pulling back the ability of a strategic partner to defend themselves against Russia. If something like this doesn’t deserve the strongest pushback and consequences I don’t know what does.
- He’s apparently got a new response to the situation. I’d pay close attention to the words he’s using and what narrative he’s both adhering to and modifying. This is dangerous.
We are not actually at war with Russia. That’s it. Without that, it can’t be treason in the U.S.
If we were at war with Russia…we’ll, he has a lot of wealth. I think that also means laws don’t apply to him.
Russia’s openly sabotaging all NATO members, and NATO is the US’s former means of power projection in Europe, WE aren’t at war with them, but they have no problem being at war with us.
True, but as far as the requirements for treason, we would have to be at war with them.
Russia is definitely our enemy.
No question, but we’re not at war.
Damn.
Blockbuster report that will result in no action.
Need people to be strong enough to confront America, that’ll only happen after the countrys gone bankrupt. Which may take some time even under Donald.
Elon Shrugged
Elon Musk turned himself into a military target
Good!
Musk must be at least slightly upset by the latest missile attack by Russia on Ukraine. The children killed were white! His DOGE cuts on USAid proved he prefers to have a hand in non-white children dying.
You forgot that there are multiple rungs in the priority ladder of the Loser Nazi. It’s Money -> … -> Children -> … -> Non-white Children
