Hence why officially they told everyone they never and then shifted the assets to a sister company.
Funny thing is after the investigations, they might be just walk.

Anyone who doesn't withdraw their assets from crypto platforms deserve to lose it. After Celcius and now FTX, just how much warning do people need?

Apparently you don't need to be a bank or investment business to take risk.
Anyway, the money is gone. Losers are people who put money into FTX and winners enjoying their billions somewhere in paradise.

Bizarre that people would hand billions of assets to some random platform. Its almost like asking to be fked with.
I am not surprised if Binance goes down next. That's another shady company.

Leverage to the max and now they owe more than what they have.

Nobody forced Elon Musk to provide anything. He did so out of his own free will, that includes the free services.
Its Elon Musk who's demanding the US government foot the bill not the other way around.

How is NASA involved here? We are not talking about space exploration, its about Starlink satellites.

>The U.S. military has weighed in recently as well. Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the DoD press secretary, confirmed on Tuesday that the Pentagon hasn't paid SpaceX any money for Starlink services in Ukraine to date, Space News reported (opens in new tab).
Wrong the American government has not paid a single cent for it. And while Musk claims some countries paid, he never claimed UK was one of them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_satellite_services_in_Ukraine
>On February 26, 2022, while Russian columns were advancing to take Ukraine's capital Kyiv, Ukraine's Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov asked Elon Musk on Twitter to provide assistance to Ukraine in the form of Starlinks.[5][4] Musk/Starlink reacted instantly: Ukraine's Starlink service was immediately activated (as it was not in a list of accessible countries before), while Musk/Starlink sent the first shipment to Ukraine, which arrived on February 28.[6][7][8][9][10]
Nobody forced Elon Musk to do anything. He himself gave Ukraine the services for free. The US government was not involved in the negotiations.

Ukraine is broke AF even before the war. Their strongest supporter to date is the US government and Elon is asking them to foot the bill.
So yes, he's doing what you suggested.

>Why are we relying on the "good graces" of a billionaire man-child to provide help? Stop giving the clown attention and, more importantly, tax payer money.
Because he owns SpaceX, that's why.
America could forcefully nationalize SpaceX but I doubt that's going to happen unless Elon is a threat. So far he's not.

Just look at experts commenting during trading hours. First hour: Market slids because of X reasons because the market opened lower. Second hours: Market rally because of Y reasons when the market reverses and goes higher.
These "experts" just keep changing their tune to whatever is happening in the market with a straight face.

Reply to Farmers in China and Uganda move to high-yielding, cost-saving perennial rice by tonymmorley
>Everyone's going to the cities; young people are moving away. Planting rice is very labor intensive and costs a lot of money. By not having to plant twice a year, they save a lot of labor and time," says Erik Sacks, professor in the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois and co-author on the report.
Sucks that agriculture is such an important industry and nobody wants to work in it. Using technology to improve yield and profits is definitely the way to go. Hopefully it gets profitable enough that it draws people back in.
