Musk: "we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli governments before turning on even a single terminal"
Elon Musk on X ^ | Oct.28.23

Posted on 10/29/2023 6:33:44 AM PDT by Freeleesy

Elon Musk @elonmusk: We are not so naive.

Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza.

If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons.

Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli governments before turning on even a single terminal.

Elon, Israel already told you how they feel about it. I don’t think Musk can guarantee it won’t be used for nefarious reasons.

I don’t think Musk owes Israel a thing.

With the support and dictatorial control that Hamas has over Gaza, do you even think for a minute that any ‘humanitarian’ contact number is remotely independent of Hamas? Elon should just stick to building useless cars.

It should be easy to pinpoint those who use the service. If a baddie uses the service he should be easy to find and take out.

I don’t think that’s the question. I think the question is whether he wants to empower rapists, torturers, and murders of innocent men, women & children.

Then Musk should stay out of it. I don’t like the idea of funding any of this war crap. I see all the US intervention, particularly with Syria, a neoconjob that gives an opportunity and excuse to finish the job they have been wanting to do in Syria for years. They are already piping the famous Two State solution like the rest of the world.

They just play games with the Israel support. Never let a crisis go to waste.

That sounds very clear. I am surprised that no one is currently using Starlink in Palestine, but good to hear that it will be checked before. I do not see what else could be asked or expected of Musk.

Musk has taken step 1 - he's NOT going to empower rapists, torturers an murders of the innocent. That's a safe place to start.

Seems like a good way to eavesdrop on Hamas, actually.

He already stated his intentions, you just don’t believe him.

Israel threatening Musk/Starlink will earn zero benefits.

I don’t want the US to have anything to do with this situation at all.(militarily)
The idea that Israel needs aid is laughable.
The West will get cornholed again by taking in “refugees”.

The resources we are putting in the region are clearly not for Gaza.
Patriots, THAAD, and 2 carrier groups are not for Gaza.

I want us out of Syria and Iraq. We should never have been in either.
Iran is stronger from our war in Iraq.

That is certainly no surprise at all.

Maybe Joey will call all those fleets out of the area?

How exactly does this post intersect “we don’t owe Israel a thing”?

I pretty much agree with you except the refugee thing is because the current regime want those refugees here and we let them do this to us.
