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.

    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.
