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.

This sounds like treason to me. This needs to be investigated, we can’t have a private citizen fucking the Ukrainians like this.

EDIT: Musk admits to it: https://sh.itjust.works/post/4649482

    Dude is literally getting DoD and NASA contracts and getting a Top Secret clearance + Pentagon money, and suddenly finds himself in an antiwar stance after just a few minutes of personally talking with Putin.

    I thank the Ukrainians for taking this one for the team. At least we learned that Musk is not to be trusted in a wartime environment. Sucks for the Ukrainians who need a reliable internet provider though, but I’m sure the Pentagon is thinking of a solution to this problem now.
