Sign this Resistbot petition demanding that elected leaders do something about US reliance on space and telecom infrastructure controlled by Elon Musk.
Make him sell off SpaceX and Starlink, he can plug the Twitter hole with the proceeds.
We all dodge a massive national security risk, and he gets to keep his weird incel fiefdom.

@mcnees I can think of at least two other launch companies where the US government forced divestment because the owners were suspected (not proven, just suspected) of foreign influence.
Musk losing his security clearance would right away remove him from the ability to be a corporate officer at SpaceX. Any forced divestment would be after that.
@simonbp @mcnees this is on a much smaller scale and a different country, but in my old home town a chap was director of a very popular record shop selling and releasing rave music. He got heavily into drugs and the "gangster" lifestyle, and was even shot and injured by a rival (his minder was killed).
Even though he was a victim rather than a criminal, the bank who financed the company had him removed from the board as "unfit" and a business risk and it was sold from straight under him..
No they wouldn’t. It’s not a legal threat. If someone keeps it up or if they look into it casually - there’s a lot of this type of crap out there to investigate - and the person really is a threat, then they’ll step up the timetable to investigate and prioritize the person.
What makes this even worse is if you Google 'DogeDesigner' it seems like the account is likely a sockpuppet for Musk. If so, he initiated the entire exchange.
That’s hardly anything new for some of these industrialist type assholes.
Exactly. Get rid of this lowlife…
Trump is a piece of shit, that is why this is happening.
Unlike Biden and Harris.
Sounds suspiciously like, “Dammit people! We’ve got you the guns, the crooked police, the courts, the rage, regular practice in schools… what else do we need to do get you to murder our political rivals?!?”
