You yourself conflate foreign powers and foreign governments in this very comment. Musk is obviously not a government, but he’s definitely foreign and it’s hard to find a definition of the word “power” that “able to shut down comms for military in a way that completely scuttles a mission that’s in progress” doesn’t fit.
Yeah, well, when did we start using that term? Was it before billionaires? Because if you act like billionaires are normal individuals and ignore the fact that they can function as if they can force governance on others, then you’re just begging for the corpo-state instead of an elected government.

Touche.
Uh, the definition of a foreign power is a foreign government.
That is what the term means.

Alternatively, if your governments plans hinge on one man making a decision: maybe you change your fucking plans.
