Good, #Musk is one of America's greatest national security threats:

The Senate Armed Services Committee is probing national-security issues raised by Elon Musk’s decision not to extend the private Starlink satellite network to aid a Ukrainian attack on Russian warships near the Crimean coast.

Chairman Jack Reed said in a statement Thursday the reports on the use of Starlink exposed “serious national-security liability issues & the committee is engaged on this issue.”

@KimPerales Hope they are also looking at the national security threat that is represented by thousands of satellites under his control in low earth orbit. If he were to accidentally or intentionally kick off a Kessler Syndrome catastrophe he could destroy all spacecraft including the ISS in low earth orbit and close off space to humanity for decades. This is too much power and responsibility for anyone, let alone a lunatic like Elon Musk.
