Whaaat?! Wait a minute? Mark Cuban hates Trump! Did he get a phone call from the Musk Nazis saying “We have your dog, so you better stop saying bad things about Herr Trump, something, something, or we will just take all your property and wealth, too?”…..and well, you can imagine his response.
Since Republicans were too cowardly and corrupt to impeach the orange felon during his first term, he's committing the quid pro quo out in the open now. He needs to be removed from office.
Under such threats, it would be possible to confiscate any and all materials, equipment, and function of that network if it could be seen to be used as a means of disabling our enemies.
Elon musk is a clear and present danger
Musk applied for 885 Million dollars in December 2023. He was denied by Biden's FCC. Musk said he could no longer help Ukraine. Now he's threatening them?
Americans know what he is. The Biggest D**k.
Why can't another service send satellite's to Ukraine.
Tell Musk go ahead, shut us off a**hole.
Ukraine and our Allies can never trust the US again.
If we will destroy our country what do you think we will do to theirs?
Musk and Trump are threatening Ukraine with the removal of Starlink if Ukraine doesn't give them all of the mineral rights for free because Ukraine won't surrender to Russia.
Musk will if the US makes a stab in the back deal with Russia and Russia guarantees mining rights to musk he will. And I’m willing to bet there’s been a few back door deals already made by the US and Russia.
Russia would never do that with the US. Putin might tease Elon Musk with that offer, but Musk would have to be an even bigger idiot than be appears to be (if that is possible) to accept that.
Oligarchs is Putin's Russia have an alarmingly high rate of defenestration.
And we need to STOP THE PRIVATIZATION of the commons; this includes the airwaves whether through television, internet. Allowing one corporation or one person to be in control of so much IS DANGEROUS AND DESTROYS DEMOCRACY. F***ing Reagan started the drive to 'PRIVATIZE" the commons four+ decades
and used "Patriotic speeches, acting " to dupe people into buying his racist, homophobic BS to cover the greed of the people who backed him (the old time Birchers). Honestly we are at the end of the GREED PRIVATIZATION MARCH" the f***ing GOP were pushing'; and the neoliberals went along!😡
Trump always makes a fool of himself with ridiculous threats that just makes other countries alienate us. I think he's still on his trip about buying Canada and Denmark when they've repeatedly said they can't be bought. If Trump died soon it eliminates part of the prob. Putin owns Trump, not musk
Why would anyone trust Trump? If he gets the minerals, he will just turn around a screw Ukraine. He has done that his entire business and personal life ! 🤷♀️
It's only going to get better.....Nearly 12,000 satellites are planned to be deployed, with a possible later extension to 34,400.... something very wrong is happening....
It should be clear to most at this point, we are in the throes of a hostile takeover of our country & Democracy around the world, by a group that is dozens hundreds in numbers against hundreds of millions or more of us.
We must fight on every level to stop this in its tracks.
Do we even know that he wants Ukraine to give the US the mineral rights or is Trump planning on selling them to the highest bidder for personal profit?
Both Musk and Trump: Greedy, corrupt. Morally bankrupt little men who would sell all our souls for profit. They do not deserve a place in our society, let alone government.
When Trump didn't get an impeachment conviction for his Ukraine shakedown the first time, he learned he can do it again with no risk whatsoever. This is what happens when the GOP has no accountability for their own criminals.
I have an idea!
With independents finally seeing what a fraud theTrump cartel is, the only people remaining for him will be the rabid maga cult members.
I think they should all move to the Gaza Strip and live in trump’s real estate paradise!
Surely, starlink isn't the only access to the internet for Ukraine.
You know, some days I can't believe what has become of the USA. Once the top dog of the world and 32 days later,they're begging for space at the bottom.
"Ukrainian commanders are now contemplating a nightmare scenario, in which Musk’s SpaceX company switches off Ukrainian access (to Starlink) while continuing to offer it to the Russians – with the White House in effect helping Moscow to win the war."
I hate Trump and Elon!! They are so evil. Can you imagine a meeting with King Charles- a real King vs Putins Poodle? My heart goes out to Ukrainians and the rest of the world, including the masses that didn’t vote for this!
Trump will be invited for a (2nd) State Visit to the UK so poor Charles will have to meet him again. Last time, he kept Queen Elizabeth waiting, very rude of course, she was 92 at the time, standing for 12 mins in hot weather.
Maybe, just maybe, in that scenario some enterprising European country(s) could start shooting some starlink satellites down? I’m sure the technological ability is there. All hush-hush of course…
Hi, I'm from Europe. Banning Tesla would do too little and too late, because most Teslas are sold in US and China. EU market is smaller.
I don't understand how Trump states that China is a menace, yet he picked Elon who obviously has a very profitable business relation with China. What's going on?
Yes but we need a worldwide movement to stop these MAGA billionaires ruining people's lives. Governments can do it if the politicians put their minds to it.
1 of 3 petitions now in Canada. "We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk's dual citizenship status, and revoke his Canadian passport effective immediately." The other 2 are banning X & DT from the country.
And there are many people inside Russia who despise Putin too. He fears being killed by a mob and watched the public killing of Quadaffi repeatedly by all accounts.
No awareness or ability to understand human suffering. No values, no integrity. I am so sad for our country right now and horrified that these two men are using us for bullying and extorting our allies.
Ukraine needs to say “Turn off Starlink and we will ban your satellite from our airspace and blow them away”. End of story. Meet threats with threats. And maybe Europe needs to too.
Have you not seen “Gravity”? Start shooting satellites, the debris will endanger everything up there. I favor coming up with some kind of quick, local communication system for Ukraine. At the first chance, we figure a way to force starlink to retrieve each piece of junk its put up there.
Gravity was BS. Garbage descends & burns up or escapes orbit. There are micro meteorites flying around all the time and it’s the same hazard level. Near zero. Satellites and stations are at different heights. You could get hit but it’s unlikely.
Fuck that. Sounds like an untethered 'perfect phone call'.
Zelensky needs to stop picking up the phone. He's been a stellar leader in an untenable position and hopefully will not be forced into a trump shit show based decision just to stop the madness. #slavaUkraini #FDT 🇺🇦 🇺🇲

Please locate the entire Truman document & make it apply to our current Russian invasion.
Get Traitor Trump & all his cabinet out!
Trump is working for Putin. That is the only explanation for his actions. Oh, BTW, Trump also has a long history of secret collusion with Russia as documented by the GOP Senate Report on Trump and Russia. Now a KGB agents claims Trump was recruited. It all fits. It if walks like a duck.
So, let me get this straight. Elmo's company, Starlink, sold the hardware for satellite internet connectivity. Ukraine uses these satellites for its effective drone war against Russia. Because Ukraine is holding its own, Elmo wants to pull the plug unless they cough up resources. That's bullshit!
Getting $500 billion in rare earth elements for the US is good for the US. That is what the President should do. Focus on whatever is good for THIS country.
Musk pulled Starlink before to help the Russian fleet. Since then Ukraine hasn't relied on it militarily.
I'm thinking they expected this. Not that it's good.
Musk can control Ukraine’s SkyLink for their military, and the USA is threatening to cut off access to SkyLink, unless they give us rare earth minerals.
Musk already cut off their navigation once.
No doubt, he’ll do it again, and/or send location data to Putin.

🤦🏻♂️. We left Verizon for Comcast (I know they’ve all stripped down and jumped in to bed) You wonder when the CNs are going to figure out they’ve joined forces with prostitutes.
I was wondering why a Putin asset like Muskolini would grant internet connectivity through starlink to Ukraine military in the first place and push for it?
Did 2025Gang already know Biden would throw election at behest of the Pope? Hold on too late for Harris success.
Then yank it under OT blackmail
In my experience living in a deep red district, there would be no tears shed if he were dragged out of there. My personal opinion is that Trump further hurts his popularity by retaining him.
Trump campaigned, many times with Elon, on shutting the border, imposing tariffs, deporting illegals, and cutting government spending.
Which is why he won 312-226, and the popular vote, in spite of 90% negative media coverage.
It's why he won every swing state, and why every state went more red.
It’s interesting to me that when tariffs were going to be imposed he faced electorate backlash. With the DOGE cuts, he’s facing electorate backlash. How do you make sense of the backlash on issues he directly campaigned against on?
I don't disagree, but I think there's more to it than that. Trump's brain is mush. He needs someone to take the reins. It makes him look powerful and all he has to do is sign the executive orders put in front of him.
Elon bought the election through Vance. Trump is under a leash ever since and if he sours on Elon, he will be removed through Vance. Republicans fear Elon more than Trump now. Crazy what 200 million $ can achieve.
And let's be honest: Trump is purely a prop. He chooses not read or write. His handlers tell him what he should say and believe and do. He's always been this way. But! He's pushing 80. The WH will get more creative to keep him propped up.
Democracy is as vulnerable as the Citizens that comprise it allow it to be, it's easy to challenge because it's supposed to be. If its not responsive and reactive to challenges/needs it is not doing its job. What keeps it resilient and strong is the equal commitment to responsibilities as rights.
Is that based in reality or giving him an out? Let’s face it, Biden’s cognitive abilities have diminished too. I’m still willing to give him credit. Personally, I think Trump retains enough cognitive ability to be liable for criminal charges. Saying otherwise might give him a credible defense.
Remember the rhetoric when Elon first "gave" Ukraine his Starlink? "Elon is so good..." "what a great guy..." "he's selfless, he should get tax breaks..." Spare me these absent minded professors of human motive.
Welcome to the Gilded Age Dump pined for.
No DEI, heck no POC or women in any position of influence.
Their wetdream coming to a once formerly proud nation near you.
What's the legal process to impeach the unelected foreigner in the nebulous, unaccountable not-quite-agency who sabotages the government's ability to function and extorts allies?
We need to realize it isn't giving the rare earth minerals to the "United States" either. It's giving them to a handful of for profit companies, including Tesla.
That’s one of the reasons he keeps harping on about Canada becoming the 51st state. He wants the rare earth minerals for electric cars as well as the water for California and other parched areas.
Such a good point. It’s the same way the US backed coups and wars in Latin America to benefit a handful of corporations and then is shocked that those nations have struggled economically. 😡🤬
How fecking corrupt does your President and his monkey (or more likely the other way around) need to be before something gets done about it? The US political system is utterly shite!
don't call them 'negotiators'. They're NOT. They're large dollar thieves, operating in plain view. That doesn't change or diminish the crime they're committing. Big buck extortionists.
I have no clue how in my lifetime, we'd ever reach a point where we have a 34 time convicted felon president and an unelected pro-apartheid asshole admitting he broke immigration-work laws himself and now stealing all of our personal information, but my guess is Fox "News" spreading lies for decades
Added in the "uneducated" he so much loves eating it all up.... Sadly I work with people who are actually very smart, yet blindly believe every last lie Fox "News" spouts at them and eat it up like candy
Brainwashing techniques. Once you start to generate fear and anger and resentment you can pretty much make someone believe anything. This is cult behavior and the media is being too diplomatic to call it out.
They're sounding more like the Mafia every day. Only thing missing are the murders/bodies...so far. They will soon stop at nothing. Putin probably already has plans in mind to eliminate Zelinskyy...he's had lots of practice with that.
He's got to be removed from the government. And Tesla's board of directors needs to execute its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders and get Elon Musk out of Tesla by terminating him as CEO, with prejudice, immediately.
It is unconscionable. Now that we have established an accord on that fact, what do you see as resulting in the widespread acceptance of this noise & nonsense and how are you countering it? (not a challenge, very much a “I would like to know your efforts” so I can emulate them)
will you give up TMobile and Apple if that happens...
both are getting involved with Starlink.
I've been a Apple user for decades. but this would end it if there's no way to turn Starlink OFF. As for TMobile, there are carriers Not Affiliated with them to choose from. (Consumer Cellular TMo.)
47 will be the first US President impeached 3-times. His obsession with Ukraine continues to be his personal Albatross and his downfall. The Heritage Foundation will run from 47 to protect their billionaire benefactors when the electorate pushes back. It starts now, PUSH BACK & RESIST.
The EU needs to step in and have one of their SATCOM companies replace Starlink in Ukraine. They should make it part of the 20 Billion deal package they are working on for Ukraine.
This is the starlink the government helped pay for.
Maybe we need to take possession of starlink.
This is absolutely bullshit.
The government in America does not blackmail our allies and friends.
I agree. It's unfortunate because Starlink is the one Elon product that really has some great practical uses. I wish someone else had developed this product because it is clearly of great use for the likes of Ukraine.
Ontario pig Premier, Doug Ford is still in the works of making a deal with the Nazi. Sadly, he's going to win again. Not one other party leader has even broached the subject! Idiots, all of them!

Trump is temporary.
And if he keeps going the way he is, he will be going to jail for some other reason a lot sooner than (4) years.
Musk won't shut off Ukraine. He likes money too much.
Oligarchs is Putin's Russia have an alarmingly high rate of defenestration.

is all the internet controlled by starlink satellites? Or are there other satellites near by with the UK that Ukraine could use?

Is there no recourse for internet access?
