This guy is really speed running his own irrelevancy. Where is Cybertruck Elon? Don't you have better things to do than mess with geopolitical issues than are l

  Putin apologists would say that he's "messing with geopolitical issues" by allowing the Ukrainian military to use Starlink (for free?) in eastern Ukraine at all. So Elon is far from becoming irrelevant, and that's the problem. There should be more services that compete with Starlink, so that sovereign Ukraine can't have its domestic policies vetoed by one guy who doesn't even live there. Failing that, the US should put a universal service obligation on Starlink, requiring Elon to only use the geofence boundaries that the US government approves.

    That would be a dark day for the US if the government compelled individuals and firms to support war efforts. Even more so if the US is not at war.

      This might be the case if the US government hadn't already paid starlink for the service

  As soon as the robo-taxis weren't delivered as promised, it is clear that he doesn't care about anyone but himself. He knows that whatever he sells (even if it doesn't work), his fans will buy it anyway. He also knows that notoriety and playing the sidelines armchair general act will get the media eyeballs in attacking him again and will get him in the spot light as the provisional villain of the month, bringing him more fans. A cycle that only benefits Elon.
