The use of Starlink infrastructure and the X platform by the U.S. and Israeli military, as well as Musk’s alleged cooperation with the U.S. government, is enough justification to add his assets to a military target bank, the state-run Fars News Agency reported Thursday.

An unnamed source cited by Fars claimed the U.S. military used Musk-linked companies to carry out war crimes, including attacks on water infrastructure in southern Iran this week.

      The amount of secular people in Iran is pretty high. If you look up a video of people walking through Iran they really do not take the rules that strictly.

      You underestimate them. Their capacity for evil is truly limitless. They’re one of the extremely few regimes out there that can give North Korea, Turkmenistan, and the Taliban a run for their own money when it comes to oppressing their own people.

      One person constantly on the go is a far harder target than corporations with fixed structures, and it’s not like the machine would suddenly crumple just because he were to drop… Let them do what they’re doing.

      It just means you’re a normal human being. These billionaires have all the comfort and security in the world, and they still can’t live a fulfilling life. They must have more power, own more stuff, tell everyone else what they think, and impose their will.
