For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Yes and no. This is specifically about one man who runs a company making a tactical military move at a precise time that was designed to hurt one country and help another. In other words, he just became an active combatant. The fact that he was willing to make such a move shows a clear lack of foresight.
What you suggested is what most ISPs do: they make general decisions about what clients they are willing to do business with, and after that it is left to each client. This is what Elon probably should have done, if he were thinking medium-term. But he didn't, so now all the major militaries around the world (including the U.S.) are rethinking how they want to deal with him and his company.
Keep specifically in mind. He deliberately disabled starlink over Ukraine , to protect Russian assets invading Ukraine. There is 0 Reason why any part of Ukraine is denied coverage.
