“Starlink is a private company. They have a contract, they have contractual terms upon how that technology can be used. The important point is we cannot direct a private company as to the decisions they make or not make. What I can tell you with certainty is the President of the United States, nor anyone in our system, ever requested that any changes to that system be made. And that's what we've said repeatedly. I don't know what the story reflects, but that is the case.” @SecRubio @marcorubio @StateDept ht @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @Starlink

THE GENIUS OF THE MOVIE Her argument is: "I've been portrayed as this monster, that's not me." And then other people say: "No, you are a monster." And then you know, one other argument is that… the media's a bit of a monster… “because they made me look like a monster, which is not true. The media tells these untruths.” And then another defense is… “maybe she wasn't the monster. Maybe Sunny was the monster, or Billy's the monster.” And then another is: "No, she's the ultimate monster because of all that." And the way the movie works is [@nathanfielder] shows that it's all true. Everybody's guilty… Billy — definitely manipulative — comes across like a complete asshole… he's the [biggest loser] in the film. @ShaanVP @myfirstmilpod ht @ElizabethHolmes @lanceopp @A24

WHY THEY DID THE DOCUMENTARY WITH NATHAN FIELDER “You will see what it is. For context, I also have not yet seen it, so I can’t pretend to know more than I do… The context is that Elizabeth is facing an 11-year sentence. She has been prevented from speaking publicly in any way, shape, or form. And this [film] would come out after that period in which she’s now allowed to talk. There’s been a lot of media produced on her. There’s been a lot of people who have told her story, and that narrative is pretty ossified. So the whole idea was: here she is, see her, and make up your own mind… It’s not to re-litigate the case.” #BillyEvans @ElizabethHolmes with @friedberg @theallinpod
