Starlink is expensive and problematic.

(Click link)

It costs at least $249 for the kit and then hundreds of dollars per month. 

Clue: This is a sovereign power communication system. I doubt the FCC even has a permit on it because its primary purpose is to be an adjunct technology to Space X. I doubt this is classified and secure.

Starlinks competes with any major telecommunications business. High end customers are probably paying the price. 

In conservation work I would have considered a service like this, but, Verizon was state of the art at the time and I always had coverage no matter where I went. My peer group loved Verizon and probably is still using it.

The thing about Starlink is that it is at the whims of Musk. If a subscriber says something insulting about the service or Musk, they can have their membership revoked. So, good luck with Elon’s temper tantrums because at the point where you need communication a bear can be staring at you.

Starlinks is also known to be interfering with scientific space investigations. Tell me this is “good practice.” Musk wants to explore the cosmos but he sticks a sovereign satellite system into orbit that interferes with such scientific data. I have a difficult time reconciling that. It makes no sense. It is outside the rhelm of good practices. Yet, all Musk has to do is load another rocket and send it skyward. 

??????

Where is the cooperation and coordination with the scientific community? I don’t believe Musk’s stories. He is completely out of step with his peers and has his own anarchy. 








There is a loyalty problem.

Trump and Musk call this peace. It is not. It is surrender. Musk is having conversations with heads of communist countries. He is not talking about business. Pulling the plug on Taiwan is not businesses.

Taiwan had to go to the Uk to enforce its national security. This is a huge international incident because Taiwan can’t trust Musk.

THIS IS NOT OKAY!

The Farm Bill is coming up this year.

Everyone who is anyone better get their ducks in a row otherwise we won’t have a productive agricultural culture. 

DOGE and Trump know nothing about feeding a nation of more than 330 million people. They know how to complain to be popular but they don’t know squat about agriculture. 

They are also climate deniers at a time when we need farmers engaged in programs that assist them in productive methodologies.

National Security Risk

At the very least, Elon Musk is a subversive. But, so is Trump but which is a threat?

Trump, right? He’s president-elect. 

Wrong. Even after Trump is inaugurated, he less of a threat than Musk.

Elon Musk can buy his own country if he wanted it. Whether he is a benevolent tyrant with the people can be measured by his handling of “X,” also known to many as Twitter. There are massive numbers of people and businesses using Twitter. How have they been treated? Musk claims total control of the website and its policies. He said that himself in live interviews.

Let’s say the Free World ostracized him, cancelled passports, and citizenship and the only place he could go was back to South Africa. How much of a threat is he now? 

Elon Musk has all the characteristics and capacity of a sovereign country. Don’t think for one minute he doesn’t know that. He not only knows that he bought a president because he can’t run on his own. That damn constitution gets in the way.

But, he is capable of spawning his own bank, his own economy, and his own national defense as well as space exploration. His rockets can be loaded with nukes or dirty bombs.

Nope, Jeff Bezos is not the same. Bezos has never attempted to undermine the greatest democracy in the world. Subversives often have that agenda. Jeff Bezos asked Captain Kirk to take a ride to promote his space tourism. It doesn’t get more American than that. Besides that Bezos is not interested in overtaking NASA’s agenda. He has his own and it is based in business practices. 

Elon would like to take over NASA and immediately engage in permanent residences in space stations. Sort of like t he enough of Battlestar Galactica. Such a venture would be a human tragedy and everyone would get sick and die. We are not remotely there yet. Trump isn’t bright enough to understand that though. He would just be seeing dollar signs.

So, is Elon Musk a financial equivalent of a terrorist? I think he is far more dangerous to the USA national security than any terrorist contemplating jihad.

Can Elon Musk be classified as a terrorist?

He is acting just like Russia and seeking to undermine stable and sovereign governments.

He is interfering in elections no different than Russia. Same extreme right wing choices repeatedly along with Bannon. All their choices are to remove democracy and replace it with dictatorship as realized in Venezuela. 

There are definitely parallels repeatedly. Musk’s personal worth and annual income is more than many small nations. 

They are dangers to freedom and democracy no different than the communists in countries where they make their millions and billions.

These people mask their agenda because they are individuals. They are performing our enemies agenda in the open. 

The difference between truth and criminal is called subversion and extortion. What millions will Trump demand next?
