Russian forces appear to be using SpaceX’s Starlink communications service inside Ukraine, suggesting that a company celebrated for helping the defenders is now also aiding the invaders. This requires the immediate attention of the American Government against Elon Musk.

I posted this a couple of days ago, when Starlink posted their response.
The response did not address the question. And it felt super specific in trying to thread some needle.
We (DoD) are paying Starlink for the Ukrainian service. I'd hope this would be investigated and audited under that contract. I feel we have made a terrible mistake placing so many contracts with companies he controls and that needs to stop. He's not a stable and trustworthy partner.

definitely not. but we don't vet a lot of our partners thoroughly (or at all) beyond the expedience they provide

I remember reports of elon shutting off starlink over Ukraine, creating comm blackouts that benefitted the soviets. I think it's been clear all along which dog elon has in this fight
the response is weird
I would not believe anything from him
