I really don’t know what that would actually accomplish. How would any government benefit from doing that kind of a move, especially when the reason seems to just be that Elon is a douche, and that doesn’t seem like a valid reason to do such things. Hell, even if we were to count this kind of blatant aiding of an enemy country as treason, I doubt this would be an appropriate response.
If anything, it might just set a dangerous precedent and in general be against the very same liberal values which are exactly why we’re helping Ukraine against the foreign imperial occupier. Arbitrary nationalisation of the assets of politically inconvenient people is the kind of stuff that an autocratic regime such as the Russian Federation under Vova would do. And that’s the kind of thing it actually does do, defenestration of political rivals is a convenient way to accomplish many goals, after all.
Doesn’t the United States already have military communication satellites? If they wanted to give network connectivity to Ukranian drones, I’m pretty sure they could have done so as well.
Me too. Just for a few minutes.
I’m very close talker.
It’s time to nationalize Starlink & SpaceX.
fuck it, take Tesla too while we’re at it
communism intensifies
you spelled defense in the national interest incorrectly, common mistake

bandwidth/latency might be an issue, but I’m not sure since I’m not an expert
I think it probably has more to do with not wanting to escalate to a direct war against Russia or give them a reason to try to shoot down satellites.
