    Downvoted because we don’t have to hear all the idiotic thoughts of this moron but:

    I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat

    Putin is a crazy fucker from the KGB. Strength in a fight is not about age, going to the gym, or all the things Elon believes. I have personally known skinny old guys walking with a cane who could kick his ass in a few seconds.

    Ukraine will inevitably lose

    Putin propaganda, I am not surprised. The rest of the text is the same shit.

      Putin has a black belt in Sambo, and also Judo I think. He might be getting old, but the thing about both of those martial arts is that strength isn’t necessarily that important (I mean, unless you’re going up against a worthy opponent obviously), but it’s all about leverage and using your opponent’s momentum against them.

      In other words, when you do it right, they kind of throw themselves… Putin would be tossing him around like a fucking ragdoll without breaking a sweat.

      I would love to see someone knock Elon down a few pegs… Physically, I mean. Like beat the shit out of him. At least.

    That fact that he made that comment would cause every other country to second guess themselves using this service. Starlink is now going to be a US service for the most part. My opinion anyway…who knows these days.

    Musk’s bodyguards have the opportunity to be heroes of the world right now. They would go down in history as great men.

      When the insane Emperor Caligula was killed by his Praetorian guards and they installed Claudius in his place, the first thing the new Emperor did was execute the guards involved in the assassination.

      Funny how Americans are all about time traveling to kill Hitler but when they have Hitler at home…

    Time to get Ukraine a different method of communication right the fuck away. This is a threat, not a boast.

    Elon will collapse on his knees if US subsidy on his businesses is switched off.

    Broadcasting his intention like this really puts a target on his back. He should be more careful… or not, I’ve stocked up on popcorn.

    We’ll need to surround every Tesla store with cops. It will be like crossing a picket line to buy one, and should be protested as such.

    I don’t think it will, but it will surely feel the effects.

    This is not strictly speaking full-blown betrayal of Ukraine, it just seems that problems remaining unresolved and becoming bigger due to this war being in focus - have become bigger than Ukrainian war from their (that group) point of view.

    The US is the only big power to condemn massacres of Alawites in Syria happening right now, some others have basically blamed the victims, so maybe not all they do is wrong. It’s just words, but at least the right words.

    If Ukraine accepts whatever peace deal they are trying to impose upon it, it’ll still have much more than it would had it surrendered in 2022. In some sense it’d be a win for them. Peace works for Ukraine - their economy is less resource-based than that of Russia, thus requiring competent people and comfortable social climate, not that of war.
