🍿 Musk is blaming Trump for the Starlink throttling. Axios reports the White House says it’s nothing to do with them.

Musk says any limits on Ukraine's Starlink access down to US, not his firm

Elon Musk has suggested that the US government may be behind restrictions on the speed at which some of Ukraine's weapons can travel and stay connected to SpaceX's Starlink internet network.

Behind the scenes: Zelensky's top advisers spoke with their White House counterparts
Wednesday and asked whether there'd been a decision to shut down Starlink services and what could be done to fix the situation, two sources said.
• Ukrainian officials made similar calls to the CIA and the Pentagon.
• White House officials told the Ukrainians they don't have control over Spacex, the sources said.
• One of the sources said the Trump administration is going to reach out to SpaceX to figure out what happened.
• The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Do you think anyone, even his most fervent supporters, actually believe him about this anymore? It's been two weeks for 10 years of the GOP and Trump introducing healthcare reforms. Lucy called and she said, "Chuck just come outside. I've got the ball and you love landing on your ass."

Every time Meta breaks a law, the company gets fined $10 million. To normal people, that sounds like a lot. It's not. It's like fining a normal person less than $1. Civil and criminal penalties should be assessed as a percentage of net worth. This is how to even the playing field.

When a rich person worth $250 million donates $25,000 to a cause, we often think, "Wow, that's great and newsworthy!" Except it's the same as a regular person worth $100K donating $10. When we don't report figures this way, it severely warps our understanding of both benevolence and accountability.

It's amazing to watch actual Republicans over the last 10+ years of Trump/MAGA. Tom Emmer has gone from a guy I probably wouldn't vote for to a whack-a-doodle who definitely shouldn't be near a political office. The GOP has devolved into the worst version of themselves. We watched it in real time.
