     Ironically, not being on the war / Ukraine beat, Lopatto *also* rather muddles the USV / Starlink story. They're surface vessels, not subs, and they were reported washing up mysteriously in Crimea around Sept 21, 2022 with apparent Starlink antennas. How they ended up there was a mystery at the time https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/09/ukraines-new-weapon-to-strike-russian-navy-in-sevastopol/

     A thing a lot of mainstream reporters would benefit from recognizing: "The thing you learn after a while on the Musk beat is that his most self-aggrandizing statements usually bear the least resemblance to reality. Musk says a lot of stuff! Some of it is exaggeration, and some isn’t true at all" https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/1/23895069/walter-isaacson-biography-musk-review

     In other news, a certain twit retains his title as the man with the world's thinnest skin: "Elon can’t now publicly admit that he fired Rodericks for like a tweet calling him a fucking dipshit, so he’s now trying to retcon in some fucking nonsense that Rodericks was undermining election integrity"
