Musk Defies Order to Block X in Brazil

this was already Elon's plan all along. Get Starlink up and running and governments around the world will be unable to stop him from providing their citizens with Internet short of shooting down his satellites, which isn't really cost effective or a smart idea.

He threatened this to (I think) India a few years ago

Providing uncensored internet to thirdies is what makes him evil now. Is this this "mask off" thing lefties always talk about?

so I am meant to be rooting for the authoritarians going for political censorship over the rocket guy providing uncensorable connectivity?

So, we quickly went from "you can't fine Starlink, they have nothing to do with X" to " Starlink is not complying with court orders"? Seems like they just opened up the gates for Brazil to take down Starlink.

Yea no. Too many people use it (including Brazil own armed force lol)

Considering a lot of Starlink's business is government related, this seems like an extremely short sighted strategy on his part

No quite the opposite. Now it effects the ruling class too

Elon is like any bully: He doesn't think about how his actions will affect himself in the long term, only how his actions affect others in the Short Term

Oh look another redditor who got bullied in school and never got over it

And when Brazil seizes and shuts down 23 of his Starlink ground stations? What genius move will he come up with then? More kicking his feet like a toddler and screaming NO? Call the judge a doodoo head?

Freeze all government access to his network without warning I'd imagine. These people need him more than he needs them.

They'll just suspend his license to operate. Then tell banks and credit card operators to cease processing StarLink payments. Then take him to court, and win…

And then he goes "lol, lmfao even" and ignores it.

This is what happens when a single individual amasses so much power that they can defy governments and nobody can physically stop him.

People get uncensored internet? Good.

Cut a redditor and a authoritarian bleeds

You will never be a real wumao. You have no citizenship, you have no allegiance, you have no pay. You are a commie twisted by laziness and cute twinkry into a crude mockery of the state's perfection.

All the "validation" you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "friends" laugh at your r-slurred shitposting behind closed doors.

Chinese are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed them to sniff out fatties with incredible efficiency. Even Americans who are "thin" look uncanny and unnatural to a Chinese. Your weight is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a job in China, they'll turn tail and bolt the second they experience your deranged, schizophrenic ranting.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself you're winning, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a mutt is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably in America. This is your fate.

This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
