It is not @ElonMusk's job to de-escalate the war. That is why we have @StateDept. If you don't agree with current policy, which is for Ukraine to win, the next elections will be up in 2024. Imagine if @LockheedMartin remotely reprogrammed HiMARS to fail to fire because the CEO got nervous fee-fees about nuclear war after talking to some @TheGrayZoneNews jurnalist. Well, that is analogous to what happened here. This revelation and records of Musk and Tw/SpaceX senior security engineer @cstanley openly joshing with pro-russian influencer @stillgray demand investigation, in the interest of US national security.
@KanekoaTheGreat - KanekoaTheGreat
The corporate media is churning out negative articles about @elonmusk, who has been generously providing free Starlink internet to Ukraine at a cost exceeding $80 million since the war began. Why? He doesn't want his satellites used in long-range drone attacks on Russia, as he fears it could worsen the conflict and even trigger a nuclear war. Musk has firmly rejected the idea of allowing Starlink to be used in a way that could escalate the conflict into World War III. Here are some quotes from Musk since the war started: "Starlink is the communication backbone of Ukraine, especially at the front lines, where almost all other Internet connectivity has been destroyed. But we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3." "SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine. Trying to retake Crimea will cause massive death, probably fail & risk nuclear war. This would be terrible for Ukraine & Earth." "SpaceX Starlink has become the connectivity backbone of Ukraine all the way up to the front lines. This is the damned if you do part. However, we are not allowing Starlink to be used for long-range drone strikes. This is the damned if you don’t part." ----- It's entirely reasonable not to want your satellite technology involved in triggering a catastrophic world war, especially with Russia, which would have dire consequences for humanity. Despite Musk's clear public statements that Starlink won't be used for long-range drone attacks, some media outlets are now attempting to tarnish his reputation for not permitting Starlink to be used in such a manner. In my view, these click-bait sensationalist headlines are disgusting, and I extend my appreciation to @elonmusk for his efforts in preventing a potential nuclear war.
@KanekoaTheGreat - KanekoaTheGreat
The corporate media is sadly trying to spin this to portray @elonmusk as some Russian agent. The reality is that Starlink was never used in this part of Ukraine, and Musk declined activation due to concerns about his satellite technology being involved in a 'Mini Pearl Harbor' attack on the Russian Navy, a scenario that he believed could possibly trigger a nuclear war. Musk consistently emphasized that Starlink should exclusively serve humanitarian and defensive purposes, such as supporting hospitals, ambulances, and banking systems. Ukraine's intention was to use it on drones to target Russian ships. @elonmusk: "The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did not deactivate anything." ----- "There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor. If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation." ----- "Both sides should agree to a truce. Every day that passes, more Ukrainian and Russian youth die to gain and lose small pieces of land, with borders barely changing. This is not worth their lives." ----- The real question here is why is Walter Isaacson, who just wrote a biography of Elon Musk, saying that Elon turned it off while Elon is saying that it was never turned on? Additionally, why is the media trying to smear Elon as some Russian asset when that couldn't be further from the truth?
@DJHammmick - DJHammick
I usually find it funny when @elonmusk trolls everybody.. (it was still my idea to use slow moving drones, to bypass ships radars) But anyway, yeah like wtf!? Elon bragged about donating this service to Ukraine and then touted that the us government should foot the bill,
@DJHammmick - DJHammick
And then when they needed it most he turns it off?! Are you a Russian or Chinese asset @elonmusk.. it’s not your call to turn off military capabilities after you provide them! That’s sabotage! Literally.
@DJHammmick - DJHammick
@elonmusk @elonmusk sabotaged the Ukrainian military! 😂. You can’t use I thought Russia was going to nuke us, that’s not your call.. so basically you spoke with Russian officials, you COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA AND SABOTAGED UKRAINE, are you retarded!? 😂
@DJHammmick - DJHammick
@elonmusk And then admitted to the collusion. 😂

Elon Musk is under fire, again, this time from neocons and corporate journalists insisting that his refusal to turn on Starlink satellites to enable an escalation of Ukraine's military actions amounts to a form of treason. From where does this obligation come? Do we care that this attack may have caused a major escalation of this war?
@SystemUpdate_ - System Update
It’s never been easier to be a “Russian propagandist” or “Kremlin agent” now (just don’t expect a paycheck) — all it takes is voicing any view oppositional to the prevailing media view on our involvement in Ukraine. https://t.co/EFEUOTTtTu

.@GGreenwald “The reason why Elon Musk is being targeted by the ADL as an anti-Semite and now being depicted as a traitor to his country, the United States… is not because necessarily they're angry about what he did in Ukraine, although they are, but more so because it's punishment for his refusal to censor on demand.” The media continues its relentless attacks on Elon Musk because he poses an existential threat to what they hold most dear –– their ability to silence any opposition.
@SystemUpdate_ - System Update
Musk’s only “crime” was not following Ukraine’s orders –– a country he doesn’t even count among his three citizenships. .@GGreenwald “The pretense here is that you have no right to resist the Ukrainian military’s demands. If you’re a citizen of the West you are duty-bound to give them everything they demand, and if you don’t, that’s considered sabotage."

Using the reasoning applied to Elon Musk, the vast majority of Americans are also “traitors,” since most people didn’t take President Zelensky’s invitation to go to Ukraine and join the fight against Russia. https://t.co/QBr5bmIHJc

.@GGreenwald “What is actually going on here is an attempt to legally ban any dissent, take away Elon Musk's right to be a military contractor, haul him before a congressional committee, require Twitter to ban what they're calling pro-Russia propaganda, which is really nothing other than people questioning or opposing their war policy of their government –– which is absolutely the right of every American citizen or the citizen of any country to do.”

Why Elon Musk is agitating against refugees, wants to undermine financial and military support for Ukraine, and thus tries to influence US & German domestic politics? An explanatory model for this dangerous development: 🧵 1 /18
@mfphhh - Pedro
What happened. Musk is actively interfering in the U.S. budget debate, supporting call by some right-wing Republicans to force a shutdown of the U.S. government if it continues to support Ukraine. This comes amid a series of remarks Musk has made against supporting Ukraine. 2/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
As an argument against supporting Ukraine, Musk cites an alleged "invasion" of refugees against which the U.S. must first defend itself before supporting other countries. He thus deliberately triggers a far-right agenda. 3/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
Musk posted a 15-minute video from a Texas border crossing claiming that the U.S. is being overrun by dangerous immigrants (mentioning alleged murderers entering the U.S.) due to the Biden administration's alleged "open door policy." But do these claims match the facts? 4/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
In fact, Biden sought to reduce incentives for illegal border crossings by cracking down more on illegal border crossings and making orderly, legal entry easier to a small degree. Here's the background: 5/18 https://www.cfr.org/article/bidens-new-southern-border-plan-might-just-work
@mfphhh - Pedro
It didn't stop there. Musk also jumped on the European refugee debate by circulating a far-right Italian tweet claiming the German government was funding rescue ships in the Mediterranean and promoting far-right German party AfD, that is backed by Kremlin. 6/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
In response to German Foreign Ministry's brief comment that these rescue ships are saving lives -as required by international law- Musk continued to ramble on about an "invasion" which was not wanted by the German people and therefore German gov should be voted out of office 7/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
Where does this focus Musk has on immigration and purposeful interference in U.S. and German domestic politics come from? And how is this related to his call to end financial and military support for Ukraine? 8/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
We know from the Discord leaks published in April that Russia plans to conduct massive disinformation campaigns this fall against Ukraine's main supporting countries: USA and Germany. To destabilize their governments. One main propaganda narrative: "threat of refugees". 9/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
Behind this is a Russian strategy, which US and British strategists like @KeirGiles call "Polycrisis". First to destabilize Africa via food shortages and Wagner Group supported coups, and then to destabilize Europe with a refugee crisis. 10/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles An artificially amplified cascade of crises in the West, at the end of which far-right, authoritarian governments will come to power, who abolish democracy and human rights. And thus function as more suitable "partners" for Russia's and China's regimes. 11/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles But why is Musk actively participating in this Russian propaganda campaign? Speculation: a Western elite of super-rich like Musk have grown tired of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. Things they call “bureaucracy" that restrict their freedom and power too much. 12/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles What it means for us: People like Musk don't give a damn about workers' rights, occupational safety and environmental standards. As this investigation worth seeing shows, abysmal safety standards prevail at the sealed-off Tesla plant in Grünheide/GER 13/18 https://www.rtl.de/cms/stern-investigativ-bei-rtl-recherche-in-tesla-werk-auffaellig-viele-unfaelle-in-gruenheide-5061137.html
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles Any other company in Germany would get into serious trouble with occupational safety authorities and trade unions if serious accidents happened there so often. But the investigation shows that in Musk's case, German authorities and politicians are reluctant to take action. 14/18 https://t.co/sWiURt2cRb
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles So it mean for us: We are in danger of losing long-fought civil rights if brutal billionaires and Russian influence bring easily bribable and controllable but unscrupulous populist parties to power, like in Germany the AfD or a future Wagenknecht party to power. 15/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles And we now also see how the war in Ukraine directly affects us in the US and Europe. The same principles are at stake: A brutal “law of the jungle” shall be established in Ukraine and here, which undermines international law, human rights and democracy. 16/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles The development is very dangerous. How long do we want to stand by and watch? If the U.S. does not succeed in containing players like Musk (in the past, there were effective breakups of too powerful corporations in the U.S.), we in Europe must at least draw a red line. 17/18
@mfphhh - Pedro
@KeirGiles It is unacceptable that the owner of a platform like Twitter -which is also important for European debates- uses misinformation and agitation to make "election recommendations" for European countries. We need enforcement of European law. Or alternative European platforms 18/18

BREAKING: Ryan Routh wrote a book called “Ukraine’s Unwinnable War.” His wife is the editor. Here is the description on Amazon: “Roosters’ crow and here I sit at 5am; I shot a white rooster yesterday and they normally run off screaming, but this one was paralyzed and could no longer walk and was dragging itself along with its wings. . A short time later one of the Afghan soldier escapees sends me a video of a Taliban man who has stabbed a civilian and grabs him by the hair and proceeds to cut his neck sawing the knife back and forth with great effort to remove his head while the man’s arm is flailing back and forth in a weak attempt to defend himself. I did not have the stomach to even watch and fumbled as I tried to make it stop. My Afghan soldiers longing to escape being murdered send me countless videos and photos of the barbaric cruelty that I cannot even fathom. What value do we each put on the lives of life around us, and what atrocities can we justify? The Canadian sniper is hunkered down at his post and his two Ukrainian spotters insist on cigarette outside so the smoke does not bother the Canadian, against his advisement, and the brilliant glow of cigarettes finds the crosshairs of the Russian tanks cannon and body parts fly. Russians bum cigarettes from two Ukrainian civilians whose town they now own and shot them in the back as they walk away. How do we justify killing in any form? . I would think that the more civilized and progressive we get the more respect for life we would have. I would probably fall in the category of barbaric killer as I laugh about her and kill chickens in the same day. When is it acceptable to kill another human-being? I think that the vast majority of advanced civilized society would land on the side that killing a human is generally unacceptable. If we all are opposed to the unjust random killings of civilians how can we go about our daily lives and not act when thousands of our innocent neighbors or getting murdered by a terrorist like Putin, and how can we sit idle as genocide occurs in Afghanistan and Myanmar and other places around the globe. As the Taliban is committing genocide and killing the majority of the Afghan population; we have 5900 Afghan soldiers ready to deploy to Ukraine and we have 10,000 of the Syrian free army(less 67 killed in the earthquake last week) that Ukraine and the US refuses to allow and coordinate them to go and fight in Ukraine. After spending five months in Ukraine I began to realize that it was impossible for Ukraine to win this war and that the world should not have grand thoughts that it is possible. I presume that I must be clear, that while on the current path Ukraine will not win, it is imperative for the world that they do win, and that is why this book is so important, for us all to recognize that losing is not an option and what we must do to win. I obviously did not write this to make any money, as that is totally unimportant; the extremely important issue is that we openly discuss daily the major issues that face Ukraine and what we each must try to do to fix them. This is a conflict of global importance and the outcome will affect us each and every one for the rest of the world. It is tragic that we are too immature as leaders to be modest and humble and bend over backwards to forge relationships. If we are the world’s leader we must be able to set the example of how of unselfishness and kindness and caring and be able to sit in the dirt floor with the most common struggling souls among us and share their pain and try to make their lives better. There would be little need for any world news or any news outside of our own community if we all intend to do nothing. What is the point of even covering the story? They take the picture of the mother and child decapitate on the kitchen floor with the kids head on the kitchen table because it is not normal or acceptable and if we are not moved to act we must be heartless shells of humans.”

It’s official: Elon Musk says US politicians are receiving “kickbacks” from Ukraine funding Matt Gaetz said the exact same thing. The Ukraine War is “to launder money through” Congress reps are literally, STEALING YOUR MONEY disguised as ‘war funding’ Matt Gaetz “I think that the reason we are as involved in Ukraine as we are is because Afghanistan wound down. If we still had Afghanistan to launder money through, there probably wouldn't be the need for this type of excessive involvement in Ukraine. But I think we can look at Afghanistan and we can look at what's going on here and say, what a lot of these defense contractors are pushing toward is how to have an extended kind of low yield war. Like if there's a way to stretch this thing out, turn it into a 20, 30 year kind of thing where there's a whole lot of money moving around and unaccountable pots and a lot of weapons getting bought and then all man the stockpiles well we got to spend more money to reload those” American Wars are looking for Longterm Unaccountable Money Laundering US Politicians take their kickbacks from their lobbyist and through scams like FTX to keep the taxpayer money laundering going
