Brilliant. Make the enemy reliant on something and then simply turn it off when they are planning something big.
I wonder if they are still forced to rely on something, even today, that can simply be turned off at any moment or if Starlink is off for them entirely.
Well he already turned off Starlink over ukraine, since their military wouldnt stop using it to attack. I think the implication is once they got to Crimea they were able to access Starlink from Crimea's connection. Which is a tacit admission by Musk that Crimea does not belong to Ukraine
Even if we exclude the prior ownership of Crimea, it was won through conquest over the other country and that still matters even in a modern world where shifting borders creates international screeching.
I've had faith in Elon most of the time, kind of questioned his motives with some of the new changes to Twitter, but THIS is huge. If this doesn't prove where his allegiances lie then nothing else would unless to outright say it. Pretty sure he's with the White Hats.
Your daily reminder that Crimea is Russia. Let it go, nazis.
It's historically been part of Russia, it's part of it now, and it will continue to be. It's annexed. It's done. That ship has sailed, many years ago. Russia is never giving up that essential strategic land.
The people are over 90% Russians, they speak Russian, they use rubles, they follow Moscow and not Kiev, yes that's right, KIEV. They aren't Ukrainians, don't consider themselves Ukrainians, don't even particularly like Ukrainians.
Elon Musk secretly ordered SpaceX engineers to switch off the Starlink satellite communications network near the coast of occupied Crimea in order to thwart a Ukrainian surprise attack on Russia’s naval fleet, according to a report. [Read it at CNN]
Elon Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his company’s Starlink satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet...
I can't point to any evidence, but I have always felt in my gut that Elon loves his kids, and realizes that the world where it's headed if he does nothing is not going to be a very good world to grow up in, no matter what is ones economic status.
No matter how much money one has, if the state can take it away at will, how wealthy is anyone if their own money does not belong to them.
I ordered in early Jan. Says it's expanding in 2023 but nothing happening yet. How long did you wait? Do I have to wait for it to "suddenly" 😏 become available?
I pre-ordered in 2022, and had to wait a little over a year.
When it is available, SpaceX will only give your seven days to accept or decline. If you miss that window, you lose your place in line. Good luck to you on yours, Fren. BTW, I was sent the square model (Gen 2)
Actually I just got my notice yesterday after posting this to accept or decline. Just a coincidence I'm sure... How long did it take to ship after this?
BREAKING: ELON MUSK TURNED OF STARLINK TO STOP UKRAINIAN ATTACK ON RUSSIA
Elon Musk covertly instructed his team of engineers to deactivate his company's Starlink satellite communications network along the Crimean coastline during a Ukrainian offensive.
This covert action was taken to thwart a potential surprise Ukrainian assault on the Russian naval fleet, as revealed in Walter Isaacson's biography.
When Ukrainian submarine drones, armed with explosives, advanced toward the Russian fleet they mysteriously lost connectivity. Now we know Musk deactivated Starlink.
Musk's decision, despite Ukrainian officials pleading for the reactivation of the satellites, stemmed from his concern that a Ukrainian strike on Crimea might trigger a nuclear response from Russia.
This fear came about after Musk's open discussions with high-ranking Russian officials.
Thus, Musk wielded the power to determine the outcome of a critical battle, potentially averting nuclear war.
I still dunno about this Musk guy with the deepstate past
Hence!!!
Trump's miltary told him to do this.
That's who gave Elon billions of dollars.
Good points!
NSA probably has access to the starlink data and are relaying the comms to Russia. (Military is in control IMHO)
By their works, ye shall know them. Thank you, Purkess.
👍👌😎
This will be upsetting for the Unipartiers.

that's what they plan on doing to us with credit cards and EV's.
And CBDC, remote access energy meters, chips in everything
exactly! that's the four letters i was looking for. thank you.

Hey man.. I just wanted to apologize for being a jerk awhile back.
I realized that was a jerk move on my part.
I just use the excuse that I am a Recovering Asshole that falls off the wagon now and again.
lol!
👍😉😎
I wanted to clear the air on that one. If I was in your shows.
I would totally thought differently.
Huge if true!
Have you found the source of this info? Who is this guy?
EDIT: I think this is from last year.
I found this: https://www.thedailybeast.com/musk-secretly-used-starlink-to-foil-ukrainian-drone-attack-on-russian-ships-report

Last year…
good. good.
Wow, okay, maybe I've been wrong about Elon! I've moved him squarely into my "optimistic about" category.
Though what a timeline that a single [massively rich] person can stop an entire country's preemptive attack on another country.
I've never doubted Elon....

I would be doubting the worlds richest man
Never should have gave it to ukraine
I can't even get it in TX
Had to wait quite a while to get mine, but it is available in TX.
I ordered in early Jan. Says it's expanding in 2023 but nothing happening yet. How long did you wait? Do I have to wait for it to "suddenly" 😏 become available?
Order the RV model. It should get there much more quickly. You could stay on the home model wait list.

About a week…maybe less. They shipped via big box shipper and it was delivered pretty quickly.
He should turn it off Ukraine wide and never restart it
They were supposed to pay for it and didnt. End of story.

Qeq
Again?
Yeah I thought he shut it off a long time ago...
Should one man have this power?
