For context, Musk denied a request by Ukraine ro extend Starlink to Sevastopol, so they would bomb with accuracy the Russian fleet in their docks.
He said this publicly and added that that would make SpaceX complicit in massive escalation to war.
One of the few good ideas he had.
Opinion discarded!
I hadn't heard of her but the title tells me all I need to know. "What Russia got by scaring Elon Musk". Lol. Zero conception of the role of the haute bourgeoisie. Sure, maybe a billionaire could be scared off. More likely, this leech takes decisions that will maximise his profit. Do you also find this narrative that separates Musk from the US security state a bit strange? They're hand in glove. As if you could be him, know what he knows, and be more scared of Russia than the CIA.
She's the author of this.
Anne Appelbaum?
Fear promoted by... the Russians?
I need a soundproof tube to put my head in where I can scream as loud as possible until my vocal chords rip and no one else can hear.
Either that or a VR type thing where it replicates reality so well that I can feel the pain of clawing my own eyeballs from the sockets. Or, alternatively... well, best not to type that one cough
There's only one country on earth that has couped, rigged, murdered, sanctioned, invaded, whatever else, dozens of countries over the last century... that country was NOT Russia (or the USSR).
So fucking sick of shitty right wing people carrying the torch for US state dept to fire all the libs up and get them in line to support the next horrific genocide or war we choose to do/support.
Nazi ass names like Applebaum
Why you think it's nazi? It's a Jewish name, but weird, clearly from yiddish "Apfelbaum" but anglicized in first half? Should be "Appletree" if consistent. And anyone with a yiddish name no matter how changed should be anti-nazi and not anti-anti-nazi like she is.

Borrow a restaurant's walkin. When I was working in a kitchen when I was younger it was their main purpose.
They keep your food cold too.
I used to work for a grocer and specifically in the frozen section, sometimes dealing with dairy, but mostly in the frozen ass giant walk-in freezer. That was always a decent safe place to talk shit on management since they didn't wanna go in there (too cold for their fragile bodies) and the incidental soundproofing.
The warmongering psychosis is on such high level that it touch even people previously considered untouchable for anything.
The belief that enemies of enemies are friends got the first person to make the quote killed for believing it.
is still a massive child abusing sexually predatory steaming pile of nazi shit. This is the most marginal of broken clock moments.I haven't changed my opinion of Musk, but I do believe people should be applauded when doing the right thing. At the very least, perhaps they'll like being applauded for entirely selfish reasons, and then do the right thing again.
I think it was a very good promotion for Starlink by associating it with an ongoing war reporting for a world wide serious coverage.
I is also about how a billionaire (an actual capitalist pig) did not wanted to escalate the war to go nuclear.
But, evidently this all just looks like another hoax created by such pigs and their media removed flatten their pockets.
Omg Anne Applebaum is such a lib. Her books are dogshit.
They're really coming for him over this. Also please see things like this as a great example of divisions within the bourgeois. Musk is more international finance leaning whereas the thought in the US is controlled by the industrial aka military/defense/intelligence types.
