Mario Nawfal Writes:

Elon Musk covertly instructed his engineers to deactivate Starlink's satellite communications network during a MAJOR Ukrainian offensive.

This action was taken to intentionally thwart a surprise attack by Ukraine against the Russian naval fleet.

The Ukrainian submarine drones, armed with explosives, mysteriously lost connectivity as they advanced towards the Russian warships.

Now we know that Musk intentionally deactivated Starlink.

Ukrainian officials pleaded for the reactivation of the satellites, however Musk was concerned the attack could trigger a nuclear response from Russia.

This fear was not baseless, as Musk had open discussions with high-ranking Russian officials not long before the attack.

I’ve posted heavily about the dangerous rhetoric from Russia relating to a possible Nuclear attack on Ukraine, with Crimea being considered a Red Line.

No matter which side of the war you’re on, we all want to avoid a nuclear conflict, and @elonmusk’s actions may have prevented just that.

But Elon responds:

The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did not deactivate anything.

Nawfal:

The source was CNN referencing Walter Isaacson's biography.

Thank you for clarifying the facts, and glad to see Starlink was not activated in such a contentious territory.

Elon:

There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol.

The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.

If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.
