          Elon Musk is the ghost of a 19th century robber baron and the ghost of a 14-year-old redditor (who died c. 2016) both trying to possess the same body. From that dialectic comes… strange results.

        I am 100% convinced that the Starlink stuff was just a stunt to secure funding. Around the same that story was happening, Richard Branson has secured a contract for his private aerospace company to build and operate an aerial start spaceport in Luxemburg. “In the interests of NATO”.

            Musk taking “based” stances on Ukraine is just in pattern with Republicans being “based” by now officially running their campaigns on pulling aid to Ukraine. It’s fascists and the ruling class adopting anti-imperialist rhetoric in order to alienate progressives from anti-imperialist ideas. Because liberals are too fucking dumb to think deeper about the issue and will just think “Republicans support this so it must be evil.”

            It’s literally the extreme right superficially co-opting leftism, like they do over and over again.
