    That’s just twisting of reality.

    I hate Musk, but Starlink has been immensely important to Ukraine, I remember Michael Kofman saying that if there’s one wonder weapon in this war, it’s the Starlink.

    What Musk did was refusing to help more. Shitty move, but it’s absurd to call it “helping Russia”. You also aren’t helping Russia because you don’t send all your discretionary income to Ukrainian army.

        Musk provided terminals and connections initially for free, a contract with US for compensation was awarded only later.

        The policy to provide coverage only in Ukraine controlled area was there all along, so that was clearly part of that contract.

        Again, I very much dislike Musk, but then I also dislike when hate obscures facts.
