Enjoy this vignette.
Hands down the most bad ass thing I’ve ever seen, or can honestly fathom, a fighter pilot doing. Fly by wire wouldn’t let this guy do what he did.
It’s amazing:
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Welcome to feel that way. He has done a whole lot of good before this war and will do a whole lot of good after it. I suspect the parties who have rushed to judgment and taken a short term view will later regret having done so. If I were as badly misinformed and deceived by bad actors in the media I would probably feel the same way but I have watched a wholesale disinfo /psyops campaign against Musk, Tesla, & SpaceX unfold for the last two years. There are trillions at stake that are in opposition to him & his businesses and they control the prevailing media narratives.
Disruption at the scale he is doing naturally creates a lot of enemies.
For Christ sakes, that looks like Kevin’s plan to protect his house in Home Alone.
That used to be a good program. I knew a southwest airlines pilot who actually got into dogfights in vietnam. Dude's retired now but great stories. I asked him if his 737 were that maneuverable and we both chuckled. Ironically, my current neighbor is also a retired USAF pilot who flew the 2 largest birds in the Airforce inventory, the C-5 and the C-17. He got a new car and his plate is C5C17. Another chuckle to be had.
You are right about his accomplishments but I honestly wonder if his autism isn't making him a bit mentally undone.
I could get a job as an illustrator in Belarus
I imagine if anything he looks at things less emotionally, and more calculated.
Judging from the home towns listed in some of the articles is still looks like the remote areas are paying the heaviest price.

That's not necessarily a good thing. Empathy is what separates humans from other creatures to a large extent. I don't want him to be an automaton.
Maybe they’ll send you a little card with a name and picture and tell you where it was used!
I really am curious to see how well it does.
Right back at ya' Russia.
Probably too much of a coincidence considering where it hit. (Maybe they are just trolling with the caption.)

Did your local politician contribute or aid Flint, Michigan in any way shape or form after it was found out that city & state officials had overseen giving human beings tainted water for years?
I live in Iowa, not Michigan and honestly both parties have a stink rot. I just contribute my own money to causes. I don't count on those people. They are frauds.
Can anyone explain this feigned outrage? Musk/SX didnt need to do anything - the fact theyre covering any of the bill is outstanding. All allies should be praising him/his teams for developing and delivering that tech - what wouldve happened w/o that quick onlining?
Musk suggested Ukraine should give up part of its country to end the war. Then, if you believe some of the info. his Starlink stopped working on the Eastern and Southern Fronts where Ukraine is pushing the Russians out. Then there was another rumor that a conversation with Putin started all of this. Which he denies. And finally today he is trying to get the US to assume more of the cost of the system.
I wonder if Putin threatened him.
Hopefully someday DNA tests can help these stolen children find their true parents (if still alive) or relatives. A lot of horror in this Russian war of aggression, but this so terribly sad.
But Musk is buying Twitter and must be destroyed
When you seem them on the front line-shoot to wound. They aren't totally evil

The silver lining is that Putin must be expecting to lose the Crimea.
Thanks for the synopsis - so a whole lot of rumors and zero legitimate justification. Seems par for the course
Which part of that makes it Musks responsibility to fund access to the tech?
What if instead he sold it to Russia?
Also, did it not come out that the reason it was down on the south and east front because the lines in the front were changing so fast and they needed to update the lines? Which they did relatively quickly?
He had one bad take for how to end the war, but the guy/SpaceX should be regarded heros for their contribution to the ukranian effort thus far.
My favorite thing is that his company can make a booster come back and land-amazing technology.
(He would have been in big trouble giving Starlink to Russia, IIRC technology transfers to Russia have been banned since 2014.)
"STRENGTH of the Ukrainian Army"
"the Russians FLED AND LEFT A LOT OF THINGS"

I bet some of this is not neo-Nazis but Ukraine using Russia's hatred for the Nazis to troll them.
Probably another feint but then one never knows.
