He probably should stay out of geopolitics based on this stupid episode alone.

So Elon can pack up Starlink and go home?
Elon Musk Announces SpaceX Plans to Send 5 Unmanned Starships to Mars in 2 Years
The tech entrepreneur has long been leading the calls for humanity to expand its exploration of Earth’s neighboring planet.
Earlier this month, Musk had said that the first Starships to Mars would launch in two years.
He said the missions will launch at that time because it is “when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.”
On Sunday, Musk said that the timeline for the first human mission will depend upon the success of the unmanned flights.
If the five unmanned Starships land safely, missions with human crews will be launched in four years.
However, in case of challenges, crewed missions will be postponed by another two years, Musk said.
“If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years,” Musk posted on X.
I have to admit it's inspiring.
In April 2023, someone leaked Twitter's recommendation algorithm before the company was about to reveal it itself. In the lines of code, Ukraine was very quickly found, which was mentioned alongside such prohibited topics as violence and hate speech, fraud and toxic speech. The war in the algorithm was called the "Ukrainian crisis" and marked with the "Space Safety Label", which forces the social network to reduce certain content in the feed.
In June of the same year, we published another article in which it was said that the social network hides Ukrainians and their publications from users from other countries. First, at that time, you would not be able to find keywords related to war in the search. Secondly, the accounts that wrote about the war were marked with "sensitive content" and the platform began to automatically close their images under a blurred stub and hide the page itself from anyone who did not remove the corresponding mark in the settings. Volunteers, activists, military and bloggers were removed from the search. Even Dovzhenko-Center and the Ukrainian Art History page were among the pages that were shadow banned.
Musk, who has made a lot of pro-Russian statements in recent years, actually isolated Ukraine in a kind of info bubble, where Ukrainians' posts cannot be seen not only by foreigners, but also by Ukrainians themselves - even those who subscribe to the corresponding blocked pages.
The Journal also breathlessly reported that Musk gave $50 million in 2022 to a 501c named “Citizens for Sanity.” Sanity? Say no more! Where do I sign up? (It’s an anti-castration group.) There was lots more about various Musk donations, but at the end of the day, the Journal’s exposé said nothing we don’t already know. Musk is active in politics. Ho hum. But that’s where things got really funny. ...
What happened was Elon was a lifelong Democrat until California’s power-drunk, out-of-control, barely-literate state politicians chased him out of California. Full stop. Musk was painfully red-pilled by the pandemic.
That’s the real story. The headline should have been, “How Democrats Created The Most Influential Conservative Figure in U.S. Politics.” ...
Some folks still have legitimate concerns about Musk and his brain chip project. But you can’t deny that Elon Musk is doing more for our fellow Americans in the Western Carolinas than is the entire federal government: ...
Free satellite communications to all the affected areas. That must be expensive. But Musk is paying for his generosity and compassion in more ways than just with his money. ...
Musk didn’t need to put himself in the left’s unforgiving crosshairs. He has a lot to lose. But he did it anyway, and for that, Elon Musk deserves much credit.
BTW, why the great champion of American worker - The Elon Musk - is not bringing Tesla factories back from overseas, namely Chyna?
Just asking.

Aren't the Teslas built in China sold in China? Are any of the Teslas sold in America imported?
Still laughing my ass off that the "California Coastal Commission" is trying to stop Elon from launching.

More scary was Biden suing Elon for not hiring non-citizen Chinese Nationals on Starship.
You're almost 25% to victory if you get CA. Some local commission shouldn't stop space launches. At some point I do think the federal government needs to step in on CA.

Virginia was ridiculous until the Civil War.
BTW - got this new beauty coming next month in the new Quicksilver color.
