"The president of SpaceX revealed the company has taken active steps to prevent Ukrainian forces from using the critical Starlink satellite technology with Ukrainian drones that are a key component of their fight against Russia."

“There are things that we can do to limit their ability to do that,” Gwynne Shotwell told reporters on Wednesday, referencing reports on Starlink and drone use. “There are things that we can do, and have done.”

Ukraine's use of Starlink hasn't been an issue, until Musk recently started echoing Kremlin propaganda. It goes to show how these billionaires when they become unhinged, their extreme politicial positions start affecting millions of people.

This comes as Russia is currently preparing to relaunch a major offensive with the aim to grab as much territory as possible:

Scooter Braun indirectly funding genocide in Yemen. Elon Musk making it harder for Ukraine to fight Russia. Is it really this hard for people in power to not participate in people dying?

If the US government subsidizes any of his businesses, in any capacity… it needs to stop immediately. I don’t want my tax dollars going to this piece of ****.

Yes as long as they're not government contractors and receive our money in subsidies. Shame seems we cant ask for a refund when they start acting against our country's interests

I think these guys lost their marbles far before they got to power. It's my belief that anyone that rich by choice already must be violently unhinged mentally. Musk, Trump, Gates...

I mean, think about it. To amass that much wealth...it's unthinkable.

how much blood do they already have on their hands?

Well yes, but creating satellite internet isn't that easy, especially when you don't have a government as rich as the U.S government giving you billions in subsidies.
