Elon Musk "secretly" disrupted a Ukrainian sneak attack on a Russian naval fleet by turning off Starlink's satellite network near the Crimean coast last year.

What an utter piece of shit.

      Wait, so are you saying we should be advocating for billionaires to use their wealth and infrastructure to privately support war efforts?

      Isn’t the whole point of Starlink to help civilians in war torn countries have internet access? Why should the Russian or Ukrainian states be allowed to use it to further their war efforts?

          How so, by providing defensive abilities only from the get go? Sorry your pet “latest thing” Ukraine didn’t get to use American infrastructure to kill and do your bidding.
