VP JD Vance MIC Drops European bureaucrats and fake news attacking Elon Musk, then Begging for him to unleash Starlink for Ukraine
"I do find it a little IRONIC that the European countries who have NOTHING like the technology that Elon has developed in Starlink..."
"These countries have almost universally decided to wage regulatory and licensing WAR against SpaceX. And now they're all running to SpaceX saying, 'please do what we need you to do?!'"
"European countries depend on American technology, American businesses, and the American military, while at the same time European political leaders love to bash the United States allies that they depend upon so much!"
"Elon Musk runs a private corporation. And I think it's completely understandable that he doesn't want to get in the middle of what is a war between two state actors without the United States government effectively directing him on what to do."
Elon Musk is their favorite guy to bash...then they turn around and act entitled to his technology.
Same countries that want to fine and regulate him into oblivion!
This comes right after WSJ claimed that Musk ordered a Starlink slowdown that caught Ukraine off guard. Because of course they'd claim that!
The EU fined X under its Digital Services Act and has spent years going after Elon. Now Europe needs his satellites.
They can't have it both ways. Vance nailed it.
