After verbally attacking the Polish foreign minister over the weekend, calling him a ”small man” and threatening to shut-off Starlink services in Ukraine, Elon aimed his ire at Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly today calling him a "traitor" after Kelly made a few posts about his visit to Ukraine over the weekend, in which he supported Ukraine and its people and castigated Putin.
x Any country, corp, org, or individual that uses Starlink is subject to the whims, wishes, demands and insults of The Owner. Do so at your peril. — Ron Filipkowski (@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social) 2025-03-09T17:18:22.527Z
Earlier today, the X platform was under a cyberattack attack by some hackers or organization but Elon took little time to point the finger at Ukraine.
He indicated that the IP addresses of the attack came from Ukraine. Anyone who knows anything about DDoS attacks will tell you that no one launches a DDoS attack using their own computers; it is always done using compromised computers all over the world. Also, source IP addresses are easy to be spoof. Elon probably knows that but he does not deal in reality, he deals in propaganda that is amplified by the right-wing noise machine and his followers on X.
Brian Krassenstein tried to inject some reality into the conversation -
Brian Krassenstein also reported on his online conversation with the Dark Storm hacking group, who openly claim to be the source of the attack.
There is no doubt that Elon and trump consider Ukraine to be an enemy of the U.S. and anyone who supports Ukraine as enemy as well.
It’s beyond ludicrous to think that Ukraine, which is under siege by Russia and which is seeking international support, would have the resources, the motivation and the gumption to attack Elon Musk’s social media platform.
This looks crazy yet it is all part of the strategy the republican party and the White House have employed for years — spread lies, disinformation, CTs; the pliant media will amplify it and poison the minds of the electorate.
Let's make sure voters see these scurrilous attacks against the polish prime minister and Sen. Mark Kelly; I suspect many non-hardcore-MAGA republican voters will disagree with Elon on these issues. Let’s influence public opinion using the truth, even if we have to shout it from the roof-tops.
