   Starlink must be nationalized. It’s no longer just a hypothetical possibility that leaving it in private control might damage U.S. national security. That is happening now. https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/111025127137415613

     @JamesGleick Seems more likely that he would be pushed out of his ownership role at SpaceX. Which I would applaud loudly. Currently he controls 79% of the shareholder vote, but only actually owns 42%, so it's a remote possibility at least.

     'Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via #Starlink interference, @elonmusk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities. As a result, civilians, children are being killed. This is the price of a cocktail of ignorance and big ego. However, the question still remains: why do some people so desperately want to defend war criminals and their desire to commit murder? And do they now realize that they are committing evil and encouraging evil?' --Mykhailo Podolyak
