The use of Starlink infrastructure and the X platform by the U.S. and Israeli military, as well as Musk’s alleged cooperation with the U.S. government, is enough justification to add his assets to a military target bank, the state-run Fars News Agency reported Thursday.

An unnamed source cited by Fars claimed the U.S. military used Musk-linked companies to carry out war crimes, including attacks on water infrastructure in southern Iran this week.

      Nope as much as I hate Elon his lesser evil than Iran if we’re to compare evils. Though were comparing a country vs one guy so there’s that.

      You underestimate them. Their capacity for evil is truly limitless. They’re one of the extremely few regimes out there that can give North Korea, Turkmenistan, and the Taliban a run for their own money when it comes to oppressing their own people.

      It just means you’re a normal human being. These billionaires have all the comfort and security in the world, and they still can’t live a fulfilling life. They must have more power, own more stuff, tell everyone else what they think, and impose their will.

        Evident by the dork himself hiring someone so that he could pose as “the best Path of Exile 2 player” only to be ridiculed during his stream. Its just never enough. Can’t just be the richest man, they have to be the most everything. Even then it isn’t enough I’m sure.

    Would be funny, but Iran is all bark and no bite. They might unironically get the crown for being the dumbest, most incompetent regime in the world, and that’s saying something because there’s a lot of regimes working very hard to get that glory for themselves. In reality, Iran can’t and won’t do shit. Closing the strait is their only real strategy of deterrence, and even that’s a double edged sword because if Trump gets replaced by anybody who’s even mildly competent, they can and will very easily rally the world into blaming Iran for the oil prices and has countries apply pressure on the IRGC that way. So Iran really only has two years to bring to a close or the regime is actually toast.

    Musk has been pretty proactive in politicizing the millitaries he gives access to starlink. Seems like a pretty rational target.
