Elon Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his companyā€™s Starlink satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/07/politics/elon-musk-biography-walter-isaacson-ukraine-starlink/index.html
Hadnā€™t heard this account in such detail before. If there was a company putting itself into a position to be fully nationalized by the US government this century, Starlink is it. I can already feel the collective fury of US military/policy folks at Musk over the realization that this kind of thing is happening
It's crazy that private US citizens (mostly from SV) have had so much geopolitical power and influence in armed conflicts in the last decade. Elon with Starlink and š¯•¸ (prev. Dorsey), Zuck with Facebook.
And russia received samples of drones that lost control and ended up on the coast ((((
now Muxk publicly admitted to sabotaging an allied's military operation and somehow he is still walking free. smh
