When Elmo discovered that his network was used for killing people he immediately shitted this:

It is a violation of commercial Starlink terms of service to use the terminal for weapon systems. This applies to all users and is shut down when discovered

OMG he has ethics? Don’t use his tech for weapon systems? But then he continues to shit this on his shitter account:

There is a separate network called Starshield [that costs $25k/month/drone]

Ohhh i misunderstood him.

He’s not pissed because the Pentagon used his tech for bombing schools, he’s pissed because the Pentagon didn’t pay for the special military use license at 250x the normal rate.

Deport this foreign asset to the cecot and redistribute his wealth

(IMHO this is more tech than news, but the mods disagreed, so I post again in news)

        I agree

        I’ve always thought that he was a cunt, because I have followed scientific literature for many years

        But I can understand how most people believed the PR campaign

        He was seen as a visionary because that’s how he was marketed

        The fact that he never came up with anything himself, and his truly hideous background was kept pretty quiet

          I’m sure there’s loads of ignorant people who still has no idea. But the early adopters were (according to my anecdotal evidence) Musk fans who did the mental gymnastics of “everything good with Tesla/SpaceX/PayPal/… was Musks ideas and works, and any bad things are the work of his underlings”. It was no secret back then that he came from blood money and was born and raised under apartheid. Didn’t stop them from buying the cars.
