Topic: How could this be true, do you think is possible for Elon Musk to walk away? (Read 226 times)

Outages of the Starlink communications system have led to a "catastrophic" loss of communication between Ukrainian troops as they battled Russian forces, the Financial Times (FT) reported on Friday.

The news triggered concerns that Elon Musk may have done something to the service in response to Ukrainian denunciations of his peace plan, but the SpaceX magnate called the newspaper's article "bad reporting."

Musk gave Ukraine thousands of Starlink terminals back in March, helping Kiev's military to "operate drones, receive vital intelligence updates and communicate with each other in areas where there are no other secure networks," as the FT described it.

In recent weeks, as Ukrainian forces moved into territory previously controlled by Russian forces, the systems stopped working on multiple occasions. One senior Ukrainian official told the FT this led to a "catastrophic" loss of communication, including during "pitched battles." Failures were "widespread" and "prompted panicked calls from soldiers to helplines," said another official.

Roman Sinitsin, who runs a nonprofit that directs Starlinks to the Ukrainian military, said the problem may have been due to Musk's SpaceX having a block on the signal in Russian-held areas.

"It is absolutely clear to me that this is being done by representatives of Starlink to prevent the usage of their technology by Russian occupation forces," Sinitsin told the FT, urging SpaceX to coordinate more closely with the Ukrainian military.

I'm not sure there could have been a better misdirection technique.  He cheated on his wife, got a coworker pregnant, dumped the top on Tesla shareholders, dumped his company's BTC after saying he wouldn't, and we're all talking about Twitter.  This is why Elon is a genius.

Twitter hired some mega legal corporation to make sure they get their billion dollar settlement, Elon Musk has also employed a large law firm to fight his battle.

My prediction is a bunch of lawyers making a lot of money, and both parties losing in the end. Twitter would love nothing more than to get Elon Musk to pay 54 bucks a share for a worthless social media platform that has a market value of half that. This won't happen. Musk would like to back out of the deal without paying the billion dollar breakup fee. This probably won't happen.

He's using the bot accounts as an excuse for his arrogance in overpaying for a company that he was out of his mind to purchase. Call it a buyer's remorse, if you will. I don't doubt twitter is riddled with bot accounts, I just don't believe this is the reason he's backing out of the deal, oppose to the fact he's paying 15-20 billion over the market rate for a social media platform.

Even if the worst scenario happens then there maybe some penalty which could be in millions only so yes he can pay and walk away but this will probably put a barrier towards the growth of Twitter. The game of Elon is getting out of the the box so he is trying to prove he is more influencial and powerful in this world.

Very possible. Elon will probably tell the jury that twitter tried to scam him, their active user numbers were all lies, it was all bots etc. That’s a smart way to do this. And he is probably right about that anyway. Twitter is a shithole and it is not that hard to prove it. He’ll cause the maximum damage to twitter. They were already in trouble even before Elon and this is going to ruin twitter even more.

The thing that I want to contribute into this is that elon is a big man and also a rich man. I believe that for him to go into Twitter handle all Twitter platform he knows actually what you wanted and Elon musk that average or someone being scammed him so if Elon starts to say that Twitter scam gym him or her it will look somehow because it will be unbelievable to people sure actually i did not to get your composition right
