Dude isn’t American. More money than a sovereign nation. Space level ballistic capabilities. Openly aligned with our enemies and their values.
How the fuck does he have a penny of my federal fucking tax dollars? We’re funding fucking terrorists that don’t even need the subsidies.
What dude are you referring to? I’m confused how your comment relates to the article.
Lemmy, where you get downvoted for being confused and asking for clarification. Good job everyone.
It’s baffling how people on Lemmy hate Musk so much and yet can’t stop mentioning him in every random, unrelated thread.
The starlink was privately bought as per the article, it wasn’t officially procured using federal funds. So the comment I responded to doesn’t really make any sense in the context of this post.
But it gets 50 upvotes because Musk is very bad man. I guess that answers my own question about why people can’t stop mentioning him on Lemmy: it’s free upvotes to shit on him. That’s fine I guess, but it can be annoying when it clogs up the discussion in unrelated threads.
It’s because no one ever reads the article they just read the headline and make up their own story.
In this guy’s head Elon Musk personally did this.
I still use Lemmy and Reddit side by side. I find a lot of submissions and comments on Reddit downvoted, where they’re nothing burger contributions; some of the most non-divisive, non-offensive, and opinionless contributions I’ve come across.
I don’t recall this behaviour when I first started using Reddit about 10 years ago. It makes me wonder if the world has become a lot more bitter in recent years since this type of behaviour is seen across platforms.
I mean, u know that SpaceXs main income is flying shit around for NASA? If that was unexpected for you, I have bad news.
I think the next step is to call for a criminal investigation into Elon Musk for installing spyware on a US Warship, and get him charged with espionage for the Russians or Chinese.
I mean I don’t like the guy either but let’s stick to reality shall we?
Literally the second paragraph in the article
Still, the ambassador had nothing on senior enlisted crew members of the littoral combat ship USS Manchester, who didn’t like the Navy’s restriction of onboard Internet access. In 2023, they decided that the best way to deal with the problem was to secretly bolt a Starlink terminal to the “O-5 level weatherdeck” of a US warship.
So this is one thing he is not responsible for.
Between Trump stealing national security secrets and shit like this, it’s honestly shocking the USA hasn’t already become a full-fledged fascist hell-hole. It’s currently only half-fledged.
But seriously, it must be fucking child’s play for other nations to spy on us with dumb fucking shit like this happening.
Hey, give us a chance. We have another election right around the corner and things are really looking good for a solid commitment to fully flegged hell-holism.
must’ve been a Russian psyops. USA isn’t that incompetent in itself. oh wait…
It doesn’t stop wanks from blaming it on Putin, still. LMAO

Russians are just congentially stupid, or drunk, at least this didn’t have any actual cost.
