Ukraine FURIOUS as Elon Musk CUT Their Internet to Stop Drone Strike on Russian Navy
Elon Musk Considered Pulling Plug on Ukraines’ Starlink Access After Great Conversation With Pal Putin
Putins' Pansy Musk Said He Could See Entire War Unfolding Through a Map of Starlink Activity - He Feared Being Perceived as a Warmonger in Russia.

TWEETY Musk Had a New Hairdo For The Interview

Colin Kahl, a US undersecretary of defence for policy until last month, was charged with brokering a deal to prevent Musk from turning the system off altogether.
“If you turn this off, it doesn’t end the war,” Mr Kahl recalled telling the SpaceX chief in an interview with The New Yorker.
“My inference was that he was getting nervous that Starlink’s involvement was increasingly seen in Russia as enabling the Ukrainian war effort, and was looking for a way to placate Russian concerns,” the former US official added.
Last year, Musk was accused of publishing a Kremlin-friendly peace proposal, suggesting Ukraine should mirror sovereignty referendums organised by Russia in regions it occupied.
The outages were felt hardest in the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk regions. The four Ukrainian oblasts, parts of which were occupied by Russian forces, were all claimed as part of Russia after referendums staged by Kremlin proxies.
Musk told Pentagon officials during negotiations over Starlink that he had held 'personal' talks with Russian president Vladimir Putin
