  1. Having a foot in the door and influence is better than leaving a situation entirely, and not knowing what idiocy the remaining parties get up to. You act like America hasn't fought wars without starlink... It's a convenience, not a necessity. See Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc. Cutting off starlink won't bring peace. Stop being delusional.

  2. ​ @purebloodstevetungate5418 they're irritated that he succeeded. No one has ever succeeded at creating a privately run space company before. He did that, and a car company, and they're getting scared because essentially, he's already a trillionaire. Not right now, but, well, if you have half a brain at financial modeling, it's pretty obvious. He's got too much power now, and there scary to them. If any of his other companies also take off, he will be on the level of wealth of minor governments. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to purchase kingship of an area(or some other arrangement), and by being a legitimate leader of a country, he'd then also have further diplomatic powers and immunities. I've been way too lazy about buying space x(although it's obviously private and hard to do) but it's got broken value.
