A real journalist would ask whey they depend on a foreign born billionaire to fight their wars for them.

Is the US going to try to seize the assets of a private company for 'the war effort'? Because that's the only way you can use Starlink to effectively do a drone version of Pearl Harbour on the Russians without Elon's permission.

But you even TRY to do that and it'd kill all donor support for the Democrats and even media support to. Whining about it and doing disparaging remarks is one thing. Seizing assists from billionaires tends to get you backlash quick.

I don't know about that. I think we're getting to a point where even "moderate" dems will at least vocally support "eating the rich," especially for the right cause.

Seizing ass[e]ts from billionaires tends to get you backlash quick.

Russian oligarchs say hello.

The Russian oligarchs had power, but NOWHERE near the power and wealth of your Elon's, Bezos or Gate's.

Couple that with how dependent the US is on space x for rockets and now's not a good time to fuck with them...

As proven by the fact that no one who brings them up can name more than one of them if that, or even knew they were a thing until a news article told them so.

Elon said they're being paid to build a seperate version of starlink for the military. Keeping in mind this thing happened like a year ago, I think it's highly likely the US government did not want him to extend the range at the time. Apparently everyone changed their mind later but that was later.

Seeing Tapper behave like this is small potatoes, it's a given knowing his history, even though he's being more brazen than ever.

What are the opinions of the top brass at the US military regarding Musk? :⁠^⁠)

The US military really wants Starship to be fully operational.

he told them they weren't allowed to use it for [thing], and they tried to use it for [thing] anyway.

what do they like to say? "you agreed to the terms of service, you don't get to complain!"

Yep. Early Life every time.

Tapper was born in New York City and was raised in Queen Village, Philadelphia.[8], the son of Theodore S. "Ted" and Helen Anne (née Palmatier) Tapper. His mother, who is originally from Canada,[9] retired as a psychiatric nurse at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center.[10] His father, from Chicago, graduated from Dartmouth College and Harvard Medical School[11] and went on to serve as the president of South Philadelphia Pediatrics and associate clinical professor of pediatrics at Jefferson Medical College.[12][10][13] His parents are Jewish; his mother, who was raised Presbyterian, converted to Judaism.[14] He was named[15] for Jacob Scher. When Tapper was a kid, he spent summers attending the Jewish summer camp Camp Ramah in the Poconos.[16]

Its telling, that they know people literally build attacks based on those early life sections, yet they still refuse to remove that information. Its that important to them that people know they are of this certain group they will shoot their own foot rather than let people assume they are one of the plebs.

And its not like Wikipedia has any issue removing details and relevant info like that elsewhere for less heavy reasons, so they can't pretend this is where they make a stand on impartial and factual.

I'm going to assume before watching this that Blinkin's reply wasn't "Elon isn't Ukrainian, you thrice-damned retard."
