Elon Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his company’s Starlink satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet, according to an excerpt adapted from Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the eccentric billionaire titled “Elon Musk.”
As Ukrainian submarine drones strapped with explosives approached the Russian fleet, they “lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly,” Isaacson writes.
So Elon Musk has personally interfered with the Ukrainian war effort. Definitely concerning, especially since the USA mistakenly provided so many Starlink terminals to Ukraine.
Ideally, we get the Ukrainians off of Starlink and onto a platform that is truly trustworthy. But it seems like we have some discussions with regards to the newfound pro-Russian asshole billionaire.
If I give you a garden hose to help you put out a fire at your house and then later turn off the tap cause I’m worried I might get some water in my basement, my neighbor isn’t the one who’s the asshole…
You’d be one, but still, sorry for the pun, on your territory in your right. I mean, people here are calling him a traitor.
