Stick to repeating the dumb shit you hear from MSNBC and stop making up shit all on your own.

Here is the official link showing all areas of the world that have Starlink service:

https://www.starlink.com/map

Notice the giant gray area near the top of Europe/Asia denoting there is no service there? That's Russia. Even Putin's buddy in Belarus has no Starlink service.

If anything, NOT providing service to Crimea would fit with their overall current business plan of NOT providing service in Russia, since, again like it or not, Crimea has been a part of Russia for the past 8 years.

Seran wrap, why aren’t you angry with Inmarsat or Viasat?
These companies provide plenty of coverage for DoD. Or is it because Elon Musk has ran afoul of your politicking game?

Tesla stocks go down. Elon says something absurd, stocks go back up.

That's his entire schtick.

There's probably a little more to it than that.

The US Government invented the internet.

The guy is the greatest innovator of his generation. You look at the shit he has gotten done, even one of his companies would be an accomplishment: SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal, The Boring Co. Pretty amazing really.

Maybe he just has full on melt downs when his stocks go down and his meltdowns remind people he exists

He's been credited as the greatest innovator, but that's not entirely true. The company which created what would become PayPal was created by a company that Musky's own startup merged into.

As for his other business ventures, he's certainly one of the greatest investors and hirers of qualified engineers and scientists that have pushed technologies and the auto industry forward. But labeling yourself as chief engineer and stamping your name on your employees work doesn't make him the greatest engineer.

He's also one of the mostly eccentric and socio-toxic billionaires in our generation.

I think the company Neuralink has the greatest innovation potential out of all his business's. It's also one of the best long term investments available.

Look at you trying to diminish the dude because he doesn't have a D behind his name.
