I just wrote a post about NBC News doing a piece on pedestrians now having to face Elon Musk's Cybertruck. It seems that getting hit with one could be lethal, experts say. But why do a piece now, featuring the Cybertruck, which is in the same weight class as other trucks? They put its weight in the headline to make it sound like a killing machine. It was obviously a thinly veiled hit piece on Musk.
The Biden Justice Department sued SpaceX last summer for "discriminating against refugees and asylees" when hiring. And now the feds are going after Starlink. The New York Post reports:
Republican critics raged after the Federal Communications Commission rejected nearly $900 million in subsidies for Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service – a move they decried as a vindictive play by the Biden administration.
Musk’s SpaceX had appealed an earlier move by the FCC in 2022 to deny the firm access to some $886 million in subsidies as part of a government program to boost rural internet service.
The five-member FCC, led by Democrat-appointed chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, affirmed that decision on Tuesday, finding that Starlink had “failed to demonstrate that it could deliver the promised service.”
The Biden administration didn't seem to have a problem when Musk offered free Starlink internet access to Ukraine.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has dissented from the decision:
President Biden stood at a White House podium & stated that Elon Musk “is worth being looked at.”

When asked "How?", President Biden responded “There’s a lot of ways.”
There certainly are. The DOJ, FAA, FTC, NLRB, SDNY, & FWS have all taken action.
The FCC now joins them.
Musk sure is taking a lot of heat for someone who's always voted Democrat. But he's going to vote Republican in 2024 — that alone is reason enough for the Biden administration to try to take him down.
Musk's mom is furious:
I am the mother of @elonmusk His goal is to make this world a better place. @POTUS wants to stop him. Have you any idea how furious I am? People in other countries are proud of Elon and do not understand the US President’s motive. Please tell me how I should answer them. https://t.co/lPGcMvW5kz

You'd think liberals, who want everyone driving electric cars by 2030 would cut some slack to the owner of the company building electric cars.
It is a travesty.

Elon could remain silent and compliant to gain money or power. Since he does not desire those things, and instead desires maximum happiness for humanity, he is a genuine force for good! Be proud the gov’t powers in the USA are against him. He is on the right side of history! 🔥

They see Elon as a threat to their agenda. So they'll try anything to stop him from allowing free speech and other fundamental freedoms that are given to all free people. Elon is in their way, and they're furious that he's not playing along with their agenda.

The United States government hates anyone that they cannot fully control, it has always been this way.

It really seems that way. The federal government had a good thing going with Twitter, having regular meetings to discuss which stories would be suppressed. "Misinformation" about Hunter Biden's laptop and the COVID vaccine had to be shut down.
Tell them it's a political witch hunt and the United States government shouldn't be trusted. Because that is what this is.

US politicians love to weaponize government resources at the expense of the taxpayer in order to fulfill whatever obligations they have to their donors.

People in other countries usually understand corruption. Just tell em that

Musk painted a target on his back by walking away from the Left. Now they actually cheer when one of his spacecraft explodes.
