Elon Musk "secretly" disrupted a Ukrainian sneak attack on a Russian naval fleet by turning off Starlink's satellite network near the Crimean coast last year.

What an utter piece of shit.

      War-related crime maybe, but I don’t think this is against any Geneva Conventions

      “How am I in this war?” Musk asked Isaacson. “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.”

          Did he though? Last I checked the USG paid for most of those, so how does Elon have the authority to dictate what the use case is, on the fly?
