the crazy thing to me is that the DoD hadn't insisted on paying spacex for starlink service in ukraine in the first place very sure other defense contractors get paid much more for much less value the people who want to make elon out to be the bad guy here just want attention

Or perhaps invoke the Defense Production Act and make him build and service it _at cost_ since _he_ introduced the defense dependency on his own. Meddle in foreign military affairs at your own risk.

Well, you don't see the CEOs from other companies out grandstanding. It's "here's our product, here's what it costs" and carry on with their business. It's Musk who wants to make everything about him, feed the cult, take the credit. If you wanna sell a product, just sell it.

Well, they aren't laundering money through spacex.

Ditto to the people who want to make him look like the good guy. He's not looking good in so many ways these days.

This left wing hatred of Musk is eye opening. Even the US-Ukraine commentators that openly spilled vile hatred to Musk whilst knowing the essential nature of Starlink. The mask slipped, and it brings into question everything else they say about their reporting.

It's Musk seeking attention though. So, your point is ... off target.
Replying to @sama
He won’t let you into the twitter deal Sam.
