The Daily Beast is reporting that Elon Musk ordered engineers to switch off his Starlink satellites just as Ukraine was preparing to attack the Russian naval fleet with drones. He said he feared nuclear retaliation by Russia. It’s high time we ask the question: How much power and influence does it make sense to hand just one person?

@georgetakei you'd think that there should maybe be consequences for single handedly undermining foreign policy like that @georgetakei he did a similair thing to bitcoin. Whilst the two are not comparable. He causes some major geo political issues.

Elon managed to chase NPR from his platform. He’s slowly poisoning everything there, yet he remains toxically lacking in self-awareness of his actions.

@georgetakei Then there's the people who say "This is part of this plan - to chase away legit news!" I don't think it was part of his plan - just his excuse. @georgetakei

My mastadon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be “unsafe.”

@georgetakei it surrealistic, funny, absurd and sad at the same time. Hard to imagine what drives a billionaire to completely ruin his own 44bn investment ... @georgetakei Same in France.

Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone. So it’s going well, right?

@georgetakei yeah Elon, Start making Muskphones. That’ll drain cash faster than 3 Twitters. #Blackberry#Nokia#Motorola#Kyocera It’s good to see engagement and use growing here. It would be healthy to have a social platform free of the billionaire oligopoly and the corporate ad folks, don’t you think?

@georgetakei I don’t see why people say this platform is difficult. It’s as easy to use as twitter. It just needs more people, which it’s rapidly getting. @georgetakei let’s be fair, we’ve always been advertised to but I don’t think ads have ever been so invasive in our lives.

@georgetakei repeat after me: "There is no such thing as systemic bias or discrimination". (3 times, please)
Is an "existence disproof" a thing?
@georgetakei so who is it paying men to defend misogyny?
@georgetakei you can’t make this up, this is just too funny. If there ever was a point …
