The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party sent a letter on Saturday to SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk demanding that U.S. troops stationed in Taiwan get access to SpaceX's Starshield, a satellite communication network designed specifically for the military....
Why TF are we renting military stuff from any 3rd party and essentially giving them control to override the military chain of command in the first place? I can’t see this sitting well with anyone on the military side of this.
This is brilliant. Attack his vanity. His level of narcissism can’t function if his vanity is in question.
Just look at how he loses his shit over any mention of a Russia golden shower tape. It doesn’t matter if it actually exists because you can still use it to troll him and influence his actions.

Does this really matter. We aren’t getting it anyway.
The telcom/cable companies are just going to take the “broadband” money, build out a couple of neighborhoods, claim it is too hard, and then keep all the money.
They have already done it many times. Free taxpayer money with zero repercussions. Why would they do anything different.

Don’t underestimate the ability of stupid people to give him money. I suspect that he makes more from the grifting than the company. Losing the company martyrdom will be a boon for fundraising.
One of the oldest most experienced groups at litigation against hate and defamation will have a field day with this. I would not be surprised to see X owing the ADL damages if Musk actually follows through.
This is as nearsighted as DeSantis starting legal battle with Disney.
More than half of U.S. dog owners expressed concerns about vaccinating their dogs, including against rabies, according to a new study published Saturday in the journal Vaccine. The study comes as anti-vaccine sentiments among humans have exploded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic....
The truly ironic thing is that the fact that vaccines worked so well at eliminating so many horrible diseases is why these chuckle fucks don’t think that they need vaccines.
If they never saw a loved one killed or permanently fucked up from disease it must not exist or it’s no a big deal. They are completely oblivious to the fact that vaccines are the reason why they never saw the suffering and death first hand.
So propaganda, government control over media, and threats against anyone who questions the government story works to control public reality and opinions.
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) laws. These were originally made to go after organized crime bosses.
Crime bosses will have layers of minions directly committing crimes. This lets the boss say it wasn’t them. RICO provides laws to go after an entire criminal organization, including the bosses who direct the minions to commit crimes.
They are using the law in the Trump case because many of the direct crimes were done by minions. If they can prove that there was an organized series of crimes that were under the direction of boss Trump, they can hold him accountable for the crimes of the organization.
I really hate the idea of giving him any platform to try to turn the trial into a reality shit show. The worst thing that you can do with an attention seeking child is to give them attention.
The flip side is transparency. The more transparency, the less opportunity for outright lies about the process. No amount of truth and reality will matter to the kool-aid chuggers, but there are still some with one foot still in reality.
This guy was almost 110 and they were trying to pour water on him to cool him.
Your can have seizures at 105 and 108 is permanent brain damage territory.
What they need to do is sue for $100M not $1M.
A few headlines of companies suffering big financial losses can convince companies to do the right thing more than some law with a $10k fine. Companies will always do what is less cost/risk. You have to make the cost/risk of employee deaths more.
