The crazy thing is that the Air Force, Army, and just about every other branch of the military has contracted or is looking to contract with Space X to get Starlink. He doesn’t have a problem with providing the US with that capability because we’re not in direct conflict, but will deny it to ukraine when it’s in Russia’s favor.
After this I, I would totally re-look those agreements.
Correction. He doesn’t have a problem providing the US with service because the government pays a SHITLOAD for guaranteed access to that. Ukraine cannot afford such expenditures.

I think space X shouldn’t be involved with the war. It is not a military company. I don’t know, just my opinion.
shades of howard hughs level wacky, but no one ever thought he’d work with the russians.
And space-x represent a host of capabilities that certainly fall in the country’s direct security interest. nationalize spacex?
it would never ever be considered but musk is that fucking stupid.
also, he’s lost tens of billions via twitter, so he’s ripe for compromise.
tsk…
