U.S. officials point at Elon Musk over reported Starlink military slowdown
Report: Elon Musk sabotaged Ukrainian Starlink by switching them to Rogers
Rogers is like a black hole. Ukraine will never get out!
Joke is on them, Rogers is now star-linked enabled unless you call and ask them to shut it off.
for those that don't understand......Rogers is a Canadian telecommunications company that operates primarily in Canada, not the United States.
So the same month that Elon Musk throttled Starlink to run his own military policy, he's also seeking more control over your flow of information. Musk and the Ellisons will control CNN and CBS for news; HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount & more for entertainment; Twitter (X) and TikTok for social media.
Oligarchs' empires are privately controlled even if publicly traded. David Ellison has voting control over Paramount- Skydance (CBS, CNN); Zuckerberg over Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads); Musk over X and SpaceX. TikTok's algorithm is still controlled by its Chinese founder. You have no control.
If anything will encourage people to read more and turn off their TVs, this should do it. Boycott all of them!
God forbid we have media that tell us the truth without interference from oligarchs.
The era of real life Bond villains. I’m sure it’ll work out for us.
Good. When we nationalize SpaceX and kick Musk out of the country, we can get all these media assets back in hands of people who care about them, too.
God this going to be nothing but fart jokes.
Who's in charge of this country because it sure isn't us and it doesn't even appear to be the government anymore A bunch of paunchy moon-faced degenerate dead-eyed parasites forming a human centipede of investment in each others' vanity conglomerates, not a scintilla of civic virtue among them
If these gits cancel John Oliver, I turn into the Joker.
boy I sure hope the AI bubble pops in a big way, and soon
“Who helped Elon finance Twitter when he bought it? Larry Ellison,” Malone said. “How did Larry Ellison come up with some of the money to put into the creation of Skydance? Tesla stock. And I would not doubt for a minute that before very long you’re going to see an announcement.”
Daily reminder that a South African Nazi is goosestepping all over our democracy with his obscene wealth.
[ME, glowering toward Sacramento:] "… I tried to tell y'all."
This is why @robbonta.bsky.social and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social should be haunted by this everywhere they go. Every day of delay was worth it.
You know what I want the next Congress to focus on? Permanently breaking up monopolies. They did it with Ma Bell and here we are right back but on steroids. In the meantime, its also time to go back outside. Rediscover your city. Choose your adventure because there won't be much to watch.
Get off TikTok, you numpties!
Anything they control is something I won’t use. Make their shit as useless as possible where it hurts them.
lol they had to get a partial bailout from Elon *ELON MUSK INVESTED $1B IN ELLISON’S SKYDANCE: SEMAFOR
Things I learned watching "Musk" (the documentary) - Larry gave Elon $2B for Twitter based on a text asking for it. As for Larry, he's the definition of over-leveraged:
What did John Malone know, and when did he know it? www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
1 billion for a company in almost 100billion of debt with the amount of yearly expenditures an entertainment company has nothing. This gives them like 3 months gas before they need to come back and beg for more.
Very embarrassing for Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and other CA Dems that helped facilitate the Paramount merger.
It’s an awful lot of white bro solitary. And I really find that disgusting. Somebody ought to find Elon’s Visa paperwork-but I wouldn’t be surprised if it disappeared along with Melania’s.
Oh, my God, with every detail that accumulates, I feel like I'm just reliving dfferent aspects of the last 1/3 of The Big Short over and over again! It's so damn freaky! Oracle, in case anyone is interested, is a dead company walking, and the constant bond issues and loans will. not. help. 1. 🧵
Hmmm, I wonder what premium broadcast services – "it's not TV" – are owned by Skydance, and what documentaries they're scheduled to release in the next year?
lol that’s not even that much money considering the debt they’re in
It's really all just funny money people. Elon is hugely in debt, so he puts a gun to the board's head to get Tesla to ok a huge pay package. Then he borrows against it to run marketing for x.ai, which is to boost SpaceX's valuation. Then he uses loans against that to bail out his corrupt friendos.
Skydance of course now owns HBO, which part-produced and is supposed to be airing the Musk documentary. Sure it's all fine though
Bring it, you Fascist racist traitor. Elon Musk is threatening to "come for" Democrats calling on him to be investigated. This comes after Musk reportedly ordered the slowdown of Starlink technology critical to Ukraine's defense against Russia. youtu.be/QcsOB9gKVk4?...
Makes you think he might be guilty of something.
This is why you need to replace established democrats with citizen candidates too. They have already been bought by the elite and you need a government that will go after these crooks and hold them accountable. They won't do that if they are already owned.
