    Starlink was specifically agreed for civilian use only. It’s the Ukraine who tries to breach that agreement, SpaceX simply doesn’t want to be accused of exporting weapons

      Yeah, if a much larger country was invading, shelling apartment buildings, mining the fuck out of farmland and murdering thousands of people, I’d probably breach a ToS.

      Also, that sounds a bit absurd considering he just got the US DoD to pay for Ukraine’s starlink service.

        Also that larger country is firing missiles from ships in the Black Sea, and many of those missiles do kill civilians.

        Also using those ships to disrupt grain shipments which is causing issues with the food supply world wide.

          Ah, but Elron saved us ALL from nuclear war. A typical grandiose and pretentious statement for him, I suppose.
