Both bow to Putin

On Wednesday, Mr Musk denied he was responsible for limiting Starlink access, blaming the White House. He claimed that “any limits on speed or usage” were “decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS”, referring to Mr Trump.

However, after what was described as a “night of carnage” in Kyiv because of the blackout, a senior source said Mr Musk had been alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.

The source said: “He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it. The reality is that they were both in it.”

Between things like this, and his Piracy of the US government, his actions have led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, SO FAR. Can you imagine how dangerous he'll become when he's a trillionaire? When there are multiple trillionaires? When they form alliances? When they start finding private militaries?

This is all INEVITABLE. Do we really have to wait until it happens, and then blame 2026 people who didn't do anything about it back then, when it was OBVIOUS what their objectives were?
