What we Democrats are concerned about -- or at least I AM, and even our commander-in-chief should be, too, imo -- is how Elon will use satellite downloads of data -- and AI as part of that -- to run this country's government and military decisions that IMPACT national security and endanger Americans' freedoms in order to enrich the oligarchs) (including Putin's network) that have PWN3D the White House.

If you don't see an oligarchic coup going on here, and the Internet comms privatization that will happen, is 95% unhelpful. So I don't know what to say other than that.
