A WIRED investigation reveals that billion-dollar scam compounds in Myanmar—where tens of thousands are enslaved—are using Starlink, the satellite internet service from Elon Musk’s SpaceX, to stay online and keep their operations running.

Well MAGA is wishing it could bring back slavery so are we surprised? Musk grew up white in Apartheid and has never looked back at it as a human rights catastrophe. He cuts off Taiwan but enables slavery. No surprise to anyone who has watched him over at least 5 years.
Well well well. Starlink, the network of criminals and slavers. Kind of makes you think. Elon Musk’s shitty little internet business being used to do big, big, big crimes. Bet there are some state attorneys general who might like a word with Mr. Shithead Musk.
Canada, the UK and the EU need to ban Tesla and Starlink, and cancel any and all SpaceX contracts. Musk's wealth is entirely predicated on lines of credit based on the valuation of those companies.
Kill those companies valuations, and you kill Musk's wealth and influence.
Not to mention Leon will turn starlink off on Russia’s request, so it’s no use during war. Ask Ukraine. Why have it at all? To give Putin unfettered access to all web traffic?
Yup, relying on Starlink for anything military these days is utterly foolish, he has shown repeatedly that he WILL leverage his control of it if he doesn't like what you're doing.
Even the CEO of health insurance companies. Making millions while making other people suffer. I could not do that job. You gotta be super/ultra evil to be super/ultra rich.
most wealth arrives the old fashioned way: by theft or inheriting theft. if it were easy to earn money, then there would be less income discrepancy, and phoney superiors would lose their maniacal control.

WIRED is knocking it out of the park with their reporting.
**It's strange to me that I have to point out this is satire... but here we are**
But these compounds stay online?
Somethings fucky
Kill those companies valuations, and you kill Musk's wealth and influence.
There, thousands of people who are enslaved in these buildings, this is horrific, ironic that his cuts are stopping support for them
Of course it is. eLoon benefited from a place that pretty much did the same things.
