Here's a translation of the Russian propaganda: "From the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, it turns out that the internet terminals of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the Nazi Azov Battalion and the Ukrainian Marines in Mariupol by military helicopters. According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink Equipment was carried out by the Pentagon. Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment. And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult - no matter how much you'll play the fool." May 9th (tomorrow) is the victory day for Russia (Soviet Union) and every year they celebrate victory with a parade. Considering the situation now, something might happen tomorrow. Keep an eye on the news.

I have a feeling that, if that were to happen, Tesla and SpaceX would continue to run very well indeed, if not better.

And who says that? Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency... (see a tweet earlier in Russian) O tempora o mores! https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1523462998081572864 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1523462998081572864 Here they quote another tweet by Rogozin (his feed is invite only), it seems he is permanently drunk - and that's an official of the Russian government, just for a moment. https://twitter.com/ilya_shepelin/status/1522814424360398850 https://twitter.com/ilya_shepelin/status/1522814424360398850

  Drunk enough to shoot down a Starlink satellite tomorrow on Russia's Victory Day?

    Ah, shit, with Russia’s luck, Putin will try to take out an Elon satellite, miss, and end up starting a Kessler Syndrome collapse of important satellites. Fun.
