There’s no question in my mind that Musk was the person who donated a few million worth of cryptocurrency a while back.

I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't the X launch guest on it

What did Biden actually say and what was this in response to? There's so many reasons why the feds could be looking at him.

It was in response to the Saudis investing in Twitter, and it was in November 2022

https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/11/10/biden-says-musks-overseas-links-worthy-of-being-looked-at

quote:

Biden made the remarks on Wednesday when asked if he believed Musk was a threat to national security and whether his purchase of Twitter with the help of a member of Saudi Arabia’s royal family should be probed by US authorities.

Musk, the world’s richest man, completed his $44bn purchase of Twitter last month with the help of funding from foreign sources, including Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, a longtime investor in the social media network, and an investment firm owned by Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund.

“I think that Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at,” Biden said during a news conference at the White House.

“Whether he is doing anything inappropriate, I’m not suggesting that. I’m suggesting they’re worth being looked at. And that’s all I’ll say.”

Asked how the Tesla CEO and founder’s foreign ties could be investigated, Biden said: “There’s a lot of ways.”

edit: That was the original quote, but the FCC thing was recent, and ho boy lmao

https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-goes-after-biden-administration-after-900-million-spacex-loss

quote:

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Dec. 12 reaffirmed its 2022 decision to reject SpaceX's application for nearly $900 million in broadband subsidies.

Following SpaceX's challenge of the initial decision, the FCC said in a statement that Elon Musk's space company failed to "meet basic program requirements" in its bid to receive funding through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund program.
They're not getting their subsidies the house of cards is built on so they're angry

Elon is going to rebrand x/twitter as “the real source of info” because “we’re not beholden to big ad dollars from wokerations) (corpowoketions?) and just start hammering out the bullshit during an election year, book it.

The FCC is saying what anyone that has a basic understanding of how Starlink works could have told you from the beginning, Starlink does not scale, it will not scale, it exists in a circular scam where SpaceX needs Starlink to survive and Starlink needs SpaceX to survive because if they don't then Starship will never launch the Starlink satellites that will actually for real make Starlink scale.

They absolutely would, because Elon locked the doors to keep the workers from leaving riffraff out. It's okay though, you can just unlock the doors in the event a fire breaks out :sun:

America's biggest welfare queen upset that he's not getting another $900 million.

My guess, since Starlink satellites have to be replaced often the government realized SpaceX was going to use that leverage to create a permanent subsidy. Laying fiber to rural areas is expensive, but it's mostly an one time cost.
