Elon Musk is once again under fire along with his satellite company, Starlink. X users react to his increasingly questionable endeavors and political interferences.
Elon Musk and his satellite company Starlink are under raging fire following a release of a biography of the billionaire by Walter Isaacson which in one part alleges that Mr Musk switched off Ukraine’s access to Starlink because he feared the ambush of Russia’s naval fleet in Crimea could potentially provoke a nuclear response from Russia. Starlink terminals connect to SpaceX satellites in orbit and have been crucial for establishing internet connectivity and communication in Ukraine as the conflict has disrupted the country’s infrastructure. Responding to the claims in the book, Musk posted on X that SpaceX “did not deactivate anything” because it had not been activated in those regions in the first place. Though Ukrainian officials claim Starlink is well present in those said regions.
Musk further defended himself: “There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor,” “If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.” Mr Musk repeated his point to Mr Isaacson, asking: “How am I in this war? Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”
Additionally, he expressed his personal viewpoint, calling for a ceasefire and emphasising that the loss of lives by Ukrainians and Russians over the territorial disputes was not worth it. He provoked widespread anger last year by proposing a supposed plan suggesting an international recognition of Crimea as a part of Russia and allowing residents in regions annexed by Russia to vote on which country, they preferred to be a part of.
A top aide to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy strongly criticized Musk following the revelation. “By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military fleet via Starlink interference, Elon Musk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities,” Mykhailo Podolyak wrote Thursday on social media after CNN reported on some of the details from Isaacson’s book. “As a result, civilians, children are being killed. This is the price of a cocktail of ignorance and big ego,” he added on X (Twitter)
Thwarted Ukrainian Attack On Russia
BREAKING: Elon Musk has come under furious fire from Ukraine after it emerged, he thwarted a major attack on the Russian navy. According to reports, Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his Starlink satellite network over Russian-occupied Crimea last year in order to prevent what would have been a devastating Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s naval fleet.
Sided With Russia For His Own Political & Financial Reasons = Anti-human
No Elmo, ordering SpaceX engineers to turn off Starlink satellites for Ukraine because you sided with Russia for your own political and financial reasons is anti-human. Screw Musk. Stay woke.
Questions Starlink’s Future
presume the two questions to ask now are: 1. How did Musk know in advance of the attack he claims to have thwarted? 2. Why should anyone ever use Starlink in the future?
Can You Guarantee Musk Wouldn’t Sabotage US Defence?
The US government also uses Starlink facilities for national security purposes, under a slightly different contract regime. But how confident can Americans be that Elon Musk wouldn’t sabotage or betray US defense operations for his own ego or political purposes?
Complaining About Losing Money?
imagine complaining about starlink losing money knowing full well that just days ago you used it to stroke your own ego by putting the lives of ukrainian soldiers at risk and prolonging the war for an entire country!
Threat To National Security
Musk should be investigated as a serious threat to national security and Starlink should be nationalized.
Normal People Would Go To Prison For This!
A billionaire is undermining the national security policy of the United States. Normal people would go to prison for this.
Do you think there should be highly serious repercussions for Elon Musk and his company Starlink for interfering in global politics and war fare?
