“Be quiet small man”… smallest dick energy I’ve seen today.
Musk is gonna be copping a lot of that in response to his tweets now.
Isn’t it becoming quite widely known now that he’s gotten a bad penile implant?
his brain is as broken as his willy
Dick so small he probably drives a Cybertruck.
When the war was turning in Ukraine’s favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.
Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.
They’re presumably talking about the Kursk Oblast.Edit: probably not, see responses.IIRC that was long after that. The initial shutoff of Starlink happened around the explosions targeting the Crimean bridge and them introducing their naval drones.
Exactly, he basically messed up the offensive to retake Crimea.
Elon & Trump are Russia’s greatest weapons.
Which is why Starlink needs to be confiscated and managed by NATO. Somebody has to operate it, and it should be an entity who is on the side of Freedom amd Democracy.
It’s not that easy to confiscate sattelites
Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.
I don’t think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.
When it comes to stuff like this, the USA is like a tax heaven: outside of international jurisdiction and never signed any cooperation agreement with foreign powers. The USA is the best place to run shady business right now
Oh no I’m hearing from people that wa a technical glitch.
Musk and Starlink aren’t major difference makers in this war. It’s a years-long slog where the main takeaway is “cheap and reliable in volume is more than a match for the newest and fanciest.” It hasn’t been on the verge of turning in Ukraine’s favor since the end of Russia’s initial push towards Kyiv.
I have a buddy who’s been eating/sleeping/breathing this war and, hands down, cheap and reliable FPV drones have changed how warfare is done. It’s the main reason why trench warfare came back, and one of the things that fucked Russia up in the mid-term. Apparently they have a long-standing strategy that involves armor and something something something that my buddy explained and I don’t remember, but because there’s always drones watching every inch of the front at all times, Ukraine was able to bust that strat by being able to dial in artillery fast and early. At least, that’s how I’m remembering what was explained.
It’s not rly the ability of drones to observe that makes them so strong, but the ability to attack. Russia’s air defense is unable to stop a drone swarm, especially because its something the world hasn’t yet seen. And if two drones armed with explosives take down a bigass helicopter, that’s a massive win.
A few weeks ago, Ukraine decimated an oil refinery on russian territory with a swarm of drones of which only 40% were taken down by the russian air defense.
I think it might be more fair to say that it isn’t just the ability to observe. Drones have absolutely transformed the modern battlefield.
Certainly true. But observing is something we could do for a long time with satellites.
cheap and reliable in volume
cheap and reliable FPV drones have changed how warfare is done
We’re in agreement here. I’m not saying new technology is useless, I’m saying there aren’t any wonder weapons (or wonder communication systems) that would have given Ukraine a decisive advantage.
Long-term, it’s still a matter of which side can outproduce the other when it comes to the cheap and reliable equipment we’re talking about. At this point that’s clearly Russia.
Is that why you guys are welding cages on your tanks?
“Everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian” was ran into the ground five years ago, get new material.
But yes, a steel cage offering significant protection against much more modern technology is a great example of what I’m talking about.
Close. There was a geobarrier that he refused to remove. Because attacks against Russia are aggression.

I got permanently banned from Reddit for saying this. 17 hours and it’s still up uh
Edit: whoops 17 upvotes, not 17 hours ☺️
I got IP banned on Reddit for saying that someone who pushed a woman on a bike over and made her fall, should be pushed instead. Big violence on my part lmfao
.world gave up moderating Saint Luigi. I don’t know what .uk’s stance was
We’ll probably have to figure that one out but we largely let the Mods set the tone in communities and, as this is a friendly, helpful community, I wouldn’t bet on that post remaining.
Fuck it feels good to say that doesn’t it?
Absolutely
Calling someone else a small man really shows what kind of man he is
It’s quite an interesting insight into what kind of thing Musk himself feels is a great insult (hence he is susceptible to it) as well as how much Musk thinks his opinion counts for people such as the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, all of which dovetails with the idea that the guy suffers from both Megalomania and Narcisistic Personality Disorder.
For any reasonably well adjusted person in a position of responsability such as being the Foreign Minister of a country the size of Poland (or, frankly, for anybody self-aware and self-confident), being called “small man” by somebody like Elon Musk is roughly the equivalent in importance to being barked at by a dog that cannot actually harm you.
For a person who is afraid of being assassinated, he’s pissing off a lot of people with the resources who could get him assassinated.
He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.
He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He’s a Nazi coward even when it’s just talking…
Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too…
Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin’ Russia over nepo-baby “gamer”, “engineer” Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol

Putin is 5’ 7", like 160 lbs, and 70 years old. Elon is 6’2", probably 200 lbs, and 52 years old.
I don’t think fitness and training can overcome 20 years, 50 lbs, and a full head of height.
Huh great point!
and a full head of height.
I thought you were gonna say “full head of transplanted hair,” but I was disappointed. I’ve seen tiny guys take on bigger dudes when they have more skill. The age thing is more what I might think of as an advantage for that doughy chud.
Musk is so fucked up he’s gonna make some noises, groan, then shit himself after the first attempt at a swing
70’s isn’t too shabby in this day and age for a well kept physique, it’s 80+ the rot cements itself.
As a 6’2" dude, 200 lbs is pretty skinny. I’d bet Musk is closer to 250 lbs of useless fascist.
Putin also practiced judo for most of his life. Musk won’t be standing for long during the match.
It’s Zuck and Elon not Elon and Putin.
The Tweet linked in the OP is Musk claiming that he challenged Putin to a fist fight.
Oh I missed that part. Thanks. I tend not to read his tweets because they make me angry.
I hate Zuck but in this match I’m thinking if it’s not mutually assured destruction, then I might root for Zuck. Elon is becoming a very big problem.
Zuck is actually fit, trains, and is 10 years younger, hence why Elon chickened out.
Or 400 pounds of semtex under the cage. 2 birds, one ring.
I would literally give away a kidney to see that live, through binoculars from about a half mile away.
I don’t respect Putin very much, but I am 1000 percent sure that a former KGB agent will whoop Musks ass. Apart from that, wtf is he trying to show with challenging Putin to physical combat. What does that have to do with Ukraine?
He’s just a moron.
At least Zuckerberg looks good now. Musk looks like shite
Eh, I’d say he looks less like a robot rather than good. But yeah.
The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human…sweat, bad breath, everything.
The irony of elon calling anyone else “small” is hilarious…
Elon is quite large actually, especially his torso.
Yup, nothing else of him is either big or medium sized. He has some complexes
Love it when the fucking around leads to finding out
Holy shit that jump is crazy. Carlos Slim related as well I assume.
That’s weird: Musk and Trump are doing exactly what one would if they were Russian assets, bent on destroying western alliances… You don’t have to believe all the evidence that they are… Just imagine that these 2 billionaires are compromised. What would they do at this exact moment in history…?
Don’t let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.
Why is starlink being used, do you know?
It’s faster, cheaper, and on the tech side more reliable (definitely not politically reliable though).
Starlink has enough uplink to be able to handle live video streams and a latency low enough to do this with simple tools.
I’m not sure if that still happens, but I’ve seen some pictures of Ukrainian command bunkers literally getting drone feeds using discord screen share.
“Would you like to upgrade to Nitro”
My guess is better coverage and latency with its sheer number of satellites.
They use low earth orbit, which require them to use more satellites, but lowered latency.
Technically, and this is purely semantics, coverage is the major downside to starlink. They are faster, though.
The coverage of satellites has an exponential factor of the distance of that satellite to earth. If you had the satellite further out then its signal could reach a wider area before being cut off by the curvature of the earth. However, as the distance increases, so does latency.
Now, I don’t know, but I would assume its the latency. Starlink has a (impressively) low ping of < 100ms, while existing alternatives usually have 600ms+. Now, that’s only relevant if they are using it for stuff like flying drones.
I think you’d notice half a second even just browsing the Web.
Yes, but a wep page loading slow isn’t critical. Controlling armed drones in a battle is.
Oligarchs used to act the part, and have the appearance of being “classy”.
Now Oligarchs are just a bunch of 4chan users.
Wtf is: “Be quiet, small man”
That’s not an elegant way of speaking.
These people are supposed to be “upper class”?
🤣
Nah, Elon thinks it’s elegant. As in “Ha ha, I spoke like a big boy. I heard that badass line on TV once, on one of those shows I’m not supposed to watch. Bet that guy is now red on face and is so distraught he won’t be able to eat broccoli on supper and his mom will yell at him. Owned.”
Really dude ?? 4Chaners are smarter than Elon, Elon is the definition of rock-bottom
They’re just as obnoxious as he is.
You have never seen the wholesomness of 4chaners have you ? It’s not something Elon would be, I can guarantee that
That’s how dumb shit argue on the Internet. Ad hominem.
“Be quiet, small man” sounds like a thing Dennis would scream at Mac in IASIP 😄 THE GOLDEN GOD! Dude is copying a comically psycho character from a show, thinking he’s being sooo cool 😎
It’s literally an expression of the outsized amount of power this dipshit wields due to his enormous stolen wealth.
He says that to a member of the Polish government to remind him that he is powerless and owned by the capitalist class.
“Be quiet small man” with an implied “I own you.”
disdainful sniff new money, daahling.
I can’t fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!
Look at it this way, if they did indeed arrest and frame an innocent man for convenience, maybe he will.
Twitters UI confuses me. Where do I start? What’s the next one? And where’s the end?
It starts in the middle. It’s smaller and indented because it’s then being quoted by the Polish minister on top. Then Elon, fuckwit that he is, responds at the bottom.
How is that coherent lol. What happens when 4 or 6 tweets are twoted?
It was never meant to be used like this, and Twitter just never changed it out of pure stubborn bullshit
The original idea is that you’d retweet something, say something like “check out this bullshit” and then read the re-tweet, but people regularly use it as a reply feature that boosts to their audience instead and so this UI insanity happens
Okay that makes sense. I never really got on the twitter train so I’m appreciate the run down.
This post was the final straw for me. I deleted all my accounts on non crucial US based services yesterday when I first saw it. I was already angry with what is going on but it was a shallow meme boycott consisting of only drinking kofola now instead of coca cola. It got serious yesterday. Unfortunately I still need to think about the strategy to quit Google since pretty much everything I do is connected to my Gmail.
My strategy is to use both Gmail and Proton and I’m slowly moving from one to another.
Make sure to leave bad review specifically about those services being bad and poor quality.
But if they are not, it’s sad. You should put bad reviews with other real reasons.
If you put random political reason unrelated to the app/service, they can remove it. So be extremely critical about their app and services only, have some high standards in what you expect from such services for the free usage data they “steal” from you.
Try Proton!
Nooo, fuck. What’s the best alternative now?
If America was a real country this guy would’ve immediately been removed from any and all companies he runs.
Does SpaceX not have a board?
SpaceX bggest customer by far is the US gvernment. Obviously that is run by Musk, so they will not fire him.
But why? Why did t NASA do this. Instead government funded it and a private citizen controls it and gets all the benefits.

America is a bastion of capitalism, now you figure out the rest, you are smart.
They’re all his pawns
Are we really allowing this American man belittle our institutions for his own profit?
No, we’re apparently letting a South African man, who is/was an illegal immigrant in the US, and who’s maternal side of the family fled from Canada because his grandfather was a Nazi and was trying to drum up support to make Canada a Techno-feudalistic oligarchy, do those things.
a drug-addicted South African man
FTFY
facepalm I KNEW* I was forgetting something!
Musk is doing so much ketamine it’s affecting your memory!
I am with you on this, I’ve been boycotting everything American for that matter, and Musk’s services in particular.
