That was definitely a very strong warning! Is Elon Musk becoming a military officer involved in an ongoing war?
What other Russian targets were available and comparable?
Musk reminded everyone that Starlink is a civilian product/service!
"Last week, the SpaceX founder capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network, people familiar with the matter said, rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless. Musk and President Trump discussed the decision in a call soon after the slowdown became public, two of the people said. Both Musk and Trump have expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries in recent weeks, which the president blames for high energy prices. SpaceX didn’t respond to a request for comment. Musk tweeted hours after the slowdown became public that any limits are decided by the U.S. military and the president."
"... Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had complained of apparent problems with the satellite technology, which Ukraine uses to coordinate its operations. The product is often confused with Starshield, which is military-grade product. Musk, for his part, indicated that Starshield is under the control of the Pentagon and that he could not have interfered with its operations.
He also indicated that Starlink is a civilian product and is not permissible for offensive military action. ..." (Source)
