    Can we deport this guy yet? He meddles in elections and he wasn’t even born here. Everyone accused Obama of being foreign but Musk literally is and is undermining our politics.

      I say we just nationalize his shit. This asshat has no business owning Twitter or SpaceX. He’s a literal threat to national security.

        Kinda glad 5g turned up so I could switch off my starlink.

        It’s still a net positive for the world relative to the cost of laying fibre to every rural property, but they can use 1-2kW a day which seems unnecessary high, and Elon is problematic.

      Nah, sending people into exile for their birthplace or taking part in politics is some middle ages shit. Only the bad guys actually want to go back to that. AFAIK he also has US citizenship (among others).

      Also, ideally, foreigners taking part in politics should just give you international talking points. If that threatens your country, some safeguards are off. In that case, those should be fixed, so it’s no longer a big deal.

      Thankfully that’s not how the US works. You don’t just get to deport citizens because you don’t like them. Exiling “undesirables” is what the bad guys do, not the good ones.
