Remember how Elon switched off Starlink when he learned that Ukies were going to hit Red fleet with drones controlled via that service because he feared that it would cause THERMONUKELAR WW30000!

Now after many imaginary red lines shattered and "Nazis" are freely making lampshades out of Kursk population, burning them in crematoriums and running them over with German tanks and American AFVs while Pukin only making feeble noises about "provocation something something", the time has come to admit that Musk was a stupid cunt when he made that wrong and war-prolonging call. He probably should stay out of geopolitics based on this stupid episode alone.

So Elon can pack up Starlink and go home?

Elon is one of the main human beings on the planet that has kept Ukraine from being overrun by providing them this level of communication so they can coordinate and manage their defenses. I can cut Elon alot of slack about not wanting to push too hard early on to not escalate things.

Elon still sounds (and acts) alot more supportive of Ukraine than people like JD Vance.

No, he's contract-bound at this time, so he needs to keep providing the services he was hired for. But he needs to stay out of geopolitics because it's been proven to be way about his paygrade.

PS. And, btw, these drones wrecking Novorossiysk Red Fleet base last night do not rely on Starlink anymore.
