The use of Starlink infrastructure and the X platform by the U.S. and Israeli military, as well as Musk’s alleged cooperation with the U.S. government, is enough justification to add his assets to a military target bank, the state-run Fars News Agency reported Thursday.
An unnamed source cited by Fars claimed the U.S. military used Musk-linked companies to carry out war crimes, including attacks on water infrastructure in southern Iran this week.
Iran doing the world a favour.
Just in time for the SpaceX IPO. Let’s see if they can scare away some money.
Why do I constantly find myself rooting for Iran?
There my atheist ass would be on the chopping block so fast.
The enemy of our enemy isn’t our friend, but at least they’re our enemy’s enemy.
its ok to root for the people beating your abusers, even if they are abusers themselves
I see it as an Ostfront situation. Two horrid powers ruinously stuck in mutual refusal to back down.
Ultimately what it is is that it’s really sad all around that it has to come to this in the first place…
The amount of secular people in Iran is pretty high. If you look up a video of people walking through Iran they really do not take the rules that strictly.
Musk has been pretty proactive in politicizing the millitaries he gives access to starlink. Seems like a pretty rational target.
Add Elon Musk himself and any other billionaires as targets too please.
Why stop at his companies? What do they have in common?
One person constantly on the go is a far harder target than corporations with fixed structures, and it’s not like the machine would suddenly crumple just because he were to drop… Let them do what they’re doing.
Do it, then explain.
Just fucking do it.
They can’t get to him, but they _can_make him worry.
In these modern times of drones, why wouldn’t they be able to get to him? An agent in the US, a sub converted to drone platform near the US coast, collaboration with Cuba, just a merchant passing by with a special shipping container, etc. There are so many options.
I think Iran is playing it smart not attacking the US mainland tbh. They do a targeted operation on US soil then all of a sudden Bibi will uncover a terror plot and we need boots on the ground. They’re winning the PR game, straining US alliances and seem to be managing playing defense well.
Yeah they are playing it smart. Best thing you can do when your enemy is playing it insanely dumb. And when your enemy commits horrible war crimes because you (possibly accidentally) take down a military helicopter conducting illegal ops in your territory with a drone, you can imagine what they will do when you attack their mainland.
But to get to Musk, you could also use some hackers. How funny it would be if spacex would be locked out of their starlink control, making all those satellites slowly re-enter and burn up. The only profitable part of his company. Or maybe lock him into his tesla and set it on fire by overheating the batteries. Just another Tesla coffin case.
It just occured to me that he probably doesn’t drive a Tesla.
You sure seem to have thought about this a lot.
I used to work in intelligence and am working together with journalists on Russia’s shadow fleet, asymmetric warfare in general and the massive gray area it creates, and the evolution of drone warfare. I’m just well aware of current capabilities. Just look at the drone strike on the Russian strategic bombers deep inside Russia, from a modified shipping container from Ukraine.
They can’t do it. Iran can’t do shit. It’s a poor, isolated country that’s ruled by an evil tyrannical regime filled to the brim with brain deeds theocrats. Trump’s stupidity and Netanyahu’s greed are the only things that are keeping them in power at this point. They have no legitimacy with the people at all.
Usually with regimes like this, they’re all bark and no bite. If they had the ability to carry out such powerful blows then they would’ve done them, but they won’t because they can’t. They’re trying to play psychological warfare while praying that they can manipulate Trump’s dumbass into giving them a favorable deal before the international community turns on them for closing the strait.
What… what are the progeny doing?
Iran, the fucked up theocratic regime is the lesser evil I’m cheering for.
Demented Don took a pariah regime and made it the underdog.
You underestimate them. Their capacity for evil is truly limitless. They’re one of the extremely few regimes out there that can give North Korea, Turkmenistan, and the Taliban a run for their own money when it comes to oppressing their own people.
You underestimate the billionaires. I hate both and if one is fucking up the other that’s something I’m ok with.
Nope as much as I hate Elon his lesser evil than Iran if we’re to compare evils. Though were comparing a country vs one guy so there’s that.

Hey, something good might come this pointless war.
Good
fine by me
I guess evil dictatorships can still do accidental good things.
Godspeed, Iran.
It’s definitely not accidental
