Worse, Musk could see his companies or parts thereof expropriated and nationalized by the US govt. Washington won't put up with any crap from Elon, thinking either you're with us or against us, there is no squishy middle.The optics of cutting Ukraine out of Starlink would work against the feelings of his consumer base in Tesla buyers and perhaps even NASA, given how the current administration has (gladly!) been pretty strong in supporting Ukraine.

Elon Musk's company should be 'nationalized' for Ukraine, Atlantic writer argues

It's rare, such as in WW1 when the US government nationalized all US railways and telephone systems. As for Elon, causing frustration to US government policy is only inviting trouble.I'm not sure the American political environment would support that, but for obvious reasons won't go any further.

I do agree tat whether intentional or accidental, this outage will hurt his brand a bit.

No, that's just my mind. But Ford would have been nationalized, like Elon might be if he keeps screwing around.Forgive what may be an ignorant question, but did that actually happen?

Ol' Henry, like Lindbergh and many other industrialists admired naziism for its social efficiency and discipline.No, that's just my mind. But Ford would have been nationalized, like Elon might be if he keeps screwing around.
These NATO refurb tanks must now be some of the best ever that rolled out of Russian factories. Too bad the reverse speed is still rubbish.
They never got to tour a concentration camp, where all the undesirables had been sent.Ol' Henry, like Lindbergh and many other industrialists admired naziism for its social efficiency and discipline.
Agreed. But watch it Elon.We've wandered afield a little, and let's get it away from that political discussion, no?
I hope it goes without saying that I think he's a twatwaffle of the first order, a toxic combination of narcissism, expert syndrome, and being insanely rich. I hope the Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again and his takeover of Twitter kills that cesspool.
