#ElonMusk shouldn’t be calling the shots on how #Ukraine fights
by Eugene Robinson
“…an impulsive billionaire, unsure of whether he wants to be a superhero or a Bond villain, should not have been in a position to make that call. No private citizen should be making such unilateral decisions about our #NationalSecurity.”

9 of this year’s #attacks led to #power disruptions, the #DOE records indicate.
The U.S. is on pace to meet or exceed last year’s record of 164 major #cyber & #physical #attacks.
Additional analyses imply that the true number of incidents for both 2022 & 2023 is probably even higher. POLITICO’s analysis found several incidents that #utilities had reported to #homeland #security officials but did not show up in DOE data.

#DomesticExtremists keep trying to trigger mass #blackouts — and that’s not even the scariest part
#Extremist groups are among those targeting the #electricity network, exposing the reporting gaps between the #state & #federal agencies that oversee its #security.

TikTok is spending €1.2 billion to dodge bans in Europe.
European politicians are nervous about where TikTok’s data goes. The company is spending big on local data centers, but analysts say it’s not enough.
“TikTok poses several unacceptable risks for European users, including data access by Chinese authorities, censorship, and the tracking of journalists".

I'm certainly no surprised... and sadly given the phallopolitics of #nationalsecurity I'd have expected this from both sides - it plays well to the centrist 'safe-hands' narrative for Starmer but is, as you say, very much unwelcome for the #CND supporting tranche of the party's supporters.
Outrageous.
The U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars
The billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

This is not unthinkable. Back in October 2022, Bloomberg reported "Biden administration officials are discussing whether the US should subject some of #ElonMusk's ventures to #NationalSecurity reviews, including the deal for Twitter & #SpaceX's #Starlink #satellite network."

Jeet Heer: Elon Musk is a state within a state. He's wealthy enough to have his own foreign policy. That's a problem.

Why would our ex-military go off to work for foreign governments?
All across America, specialized and highly trained employees have to sign non-compete agreements even after they leave companies.
Why aren't our military specialists held to the same standards?
Instead they are recruited by China and spend their time training the Chinese on our military operations.

OMG. People are doing poems.
And on aircraft carriers, of all places!
The mind shudders to think of all the deplorable implications.
Or, excuse me for my poor spelling: "The mind shutters to think." People doing poems! my godamighty!
