hugopal it shows his ego, that he thinks he should have any say in this matter in the first place.

    Homegrove there are no rules in someone replying to someone else’s twitter post. You could reply to it if you want. It’s just that most of the many posts which might be made in such a scenario are ignored.

    Also, ā€œhaving a sayā€ implies actually being involved in or having an influence on something - making a troll post on twitter doesn’t necessarily have mean you have actually have any influence on anything. Again, you could make some silly comment on twitter aimed at Musk or anyone else, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you actually have any influence on whatever it is you’re talking about.

    Finally, if you don’t think he should ā€œhave any sayā€ in this conflict, then would you rather he withdrew the Starlink internet access he’s given to Ukrainians?!

      They don’t work. Has been repeatedly pointed out by soldiers on the ground.

        Lol, they do work. Deutsche Welle even describes them below as having been ā€œcrucialā€ for Ukrainian forces and Politico call them ā€œa lifeline in the fight against Russiaā€.

        As per the FT article there have indeed been some reports by soldiers of there being a few outages - but these have generally been in inimited instances when they’d advanced eastwards in to previously Russian-controlled fronts where network access had been limited to prevent Russian interference, and there hadn’t yet been the time to switch them over to reflect the changed situation on the ground.

        It’s pathetic how much your ideological dislike clouds your judgement.

          If Starlink doesn’t work they can always try Plusnet.

            Not at all. Loving Joe currently!

              zackster I’m not sure Joe Biden is really capable of talking with anyone:

              Unbroken1 Musk at the coal face, kitchen sink in hand. I suppose Ed taught him everything he knows!

              zackster @Elon we all know you aren’t buying twitter, mate.

              Oh look, Elon has bought twitter.

              He’s massively overpaid, but still curious to see what he does with it.

              He is going to have massive layoffs for sure
