No, it’s making the rich richer and the poor not desperately angry. Nothing makes rich assholes more concerned than all the people kept at just above desperation starting to get actually desperate and angry.
The key to a highly unequal distribution of wealth, resources, and power is making sure that those with the least–from whom you’re extracting the wealth, resources, and power–find it more difficult and inconvenient to change the system than just accept their mediocre lives.
He hasn’t let me down, all the satellites we have launched w/ him went perfectly. But only having one line of comm’s in a war is insane. Thats the point I was making, not shitting on Elon.
Nationalize that shit. Imminent domain Starlink and pay Musk its value. Let him sue if he thinks it's not enough. It's not about the money, but having that important tech in the hands of a bureaucracy that will delay political maneuvers and temper tantrums alike from hindering the Ukrainian military.
The U.S. isn't a banana republic. That's how they roll in Venezuela and it's not working out so well. They're certainly not going to undermine the integrity of the U.S. economy to provide marginally more intel security to Ukraine. The government can make an offer to purchase SpaceX, but I don't see why they need to.
That's such a strange way to use banana republic. Banana republics were created after the US instituted coups due to the threat of land reform (nationalization of US company owned plantation land). Denying the right to nationalize things is what creates banana republics. (Not that I think anyone should do something so stupid as try to nationalize satellites they have no access to.)
I’m not saying this is happening, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we found out that Musk was leaking any and all traffic from Starlink, including Ukraine military comms, in the name of “”“free speech”“”.
I hate musk as much as every self respecting person, but this isn’t possible. These systems are designed to run over the Internet, and thus heavily encrypted.
That’s literally what I’m talking about yes. Well done. The internet is essentially open traffic and that’s what “designed for the internet” has to deal with, so you encrypt and kill mitm attacks in many many ways.
That not really possible though. In the same way your isp can’t see what YouTube video you’re watching, encryption stops musk from seeing what the military sends to each other. Unless of course the Ukrainian military doesn’t to the whole security thing, which is doubtful.
