He forgot to mention the rest of his stipulation after combat "actions by allies of the US and those supported by the US". It's likely that Starlink has been sharing data with Ruzzia on how Ukrainian drones are being used.

At the Trump rally, Elon said that the Second Amendment protects the First Amendment.
Given his platform's bias, that could be an argument for popping a cap in him. After all, he supports a candidate who threatens jail-time for reporters.

Everyone knows the first amendment is only for those who are being silenced by cancel culture and wokeness.
Sheesh.

Sheesh.
And then, as Elon suggests, the Second can readdress the issue. If he wants a fight, he can get one.

Elon Musk had his scam fest which was simply a rehashing of the 2019 autonomy event.
He promised ALL OF THIS back in April 2019 already:
“Car usage per week…”, “10x safer…”. “Elevator operators…”.
And here comes the classic “NEXT YEAR” line.
Same old vaporware promises and demo stunts at Tesla events.
After over 10 years of Full Self-Driving development, Tesla is limited to a 20-30 acre geofenced 5mph ride on a preprogrammed, premapped and heavily rehearsed route with no traffic and no pedestrians.
1950s Disneyland guests would be unimpressed.
Optimus was a similarly disappointing snoozefest, with Musk’s promises of it being “the biggest product ever, of any kind” at odds with the dull reality of animatronic robots surrounded by nervous-looking Tesla engineers.

Is she jumping, or is it gravity?

Tesla will continue to fail. Elon knows he will be toast when Trump loses.
Over-promise and under-deliver has been Elon's play. Sad.
Quote:Tesla’s value drops $60bn after investors fail to hail self-driving ‘Cybercab’
Tesla shares fell nearly 9% on Friday, wiping about $60bn (£45bn) from the company’s value, after the long-awaited unveiling of its so-called robotaxi failed to excite investors.
Shares in the electric carmaker tumbled to $217 at market close following an event in Hollywood, where the chief executive, Elon Musk, revealed a much-hyped driverless vehicle. The stock price is down roughly 12% year-to-date.
Musk said the company would start building the fully autonomous “Cybercab” by 2026 at a price of less than $30,000, and showed off a van he claimed was capable of transporting 20 people around town autonomously – which he said would reshape cities by turning car parks into parks.
However, analysts said the event was short on detail and also expressed disappointment over a lack of specifics about other Tesla projects. Musk has a history of making grand projections about upcoming products and failing to follow through in the timeframe he has set, or at all.

In case you didn't know
Quote:Tesla's Robots Were Just Remotely Controlled Dummies, Analyst Confirms
An army of extremely "I, Robot"-like Optimus humanoid robots could be seen pouring drinks and conversing with eventgoers.
But despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk making a big deal out of artificial intelligence at the event, the robots were teleoperated by humans, a smoke-and-mirrors tech demo that had investors shaking their heads, and raising plenty of questions over Tesla's ability to bring the tech to the masses.
In a note, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote that the bots "relied on tele-ops (human intervention)." Sources also told Bloomberg that the Optimus robots were reportedly using AI to walk, but relied on assistance from a nearby human to chat.
During the event, Musk promised that Optimus "can be a teacher, babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do."
