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 He's not in the position to determine if Russia is going to launch nukes or not
@toallpointswest Moreover, this fearmongering like "Russia will launch nukes if we will [something here, e. g. not install Trump as next US president] !!!!11" is one of key tools of Kremlin narrative today, meanwhile Russian "president" is crazy enough to launch nukes just for lulz or "to let the p:nd0s s#ck" (term used by Russian propaganda).
What often is overlooked is terrible state of Russian nuclear arsenal, to point of being unusable.
@koteisaev @toallpointswest Also what is often overlooked is the technology to make a nuke is 80+ years old.
