There must be some way of charging him. Not that it’d stick, but I gotta think there’s some law that was violated, right?
By the books he should have to register as a foreign agent, and should be penalized for not doing so before engaging in foreign agent activity.
There is. His actions are against the law and he can be charged. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act
Did he negotiate with Russia?
Except at the time the US Government's policy was for Starlink to NOT extend coverage outside of Ukraine's borders.
Musk followed US stated policy by disobeying Ukraine's request.
I'm not for the guy and think he's done waaay more wrong than good, but wasn't everyone against him even offering starlink on the first place? Now everyone is mad that they didn't use more starlink? Honestly just seems like a lose lose situation right now for him. Had he overstepped his bounds and used starlink as an aggressor, instead of defense like he has been doing (which is one thing the US said to Ukraine, defend your land not attack theirs) people would have dragged him through the mud for that instead.
I'm all for being critical when it's due, especially for a guy trying to role-playing Edison and his shitty tactics, but idk about this one.
Edit: Here's a link explaining it a lot more clearly about why the news is making this bigger than it was.
Edit edit: link broken lemmys hard lol
Precisely. For the one time the guy follows the rules... like there haven't been a thousand other things he's been doing that deserve criticism... this one is a really weird smear campaign to pick.
And a full year after the fact, at that. Where were all these people in 2022 when all this happened?
