the book alleges he shut down the internet during the drone attack after being in contact with senior Russian officials

Who threatened a nuclear strike in response. If that’s true, it does paint a different picture of the situation, does it not?

I’m no Musk dick rider (if fact, I can’t stand him), but that’s a tough spot to be in.

Not really, because what that means is Russia now just has to say "nuclear war" any time they want to kill Starlink in Ukraine. If he had real concerns he was more than capable of getting in touch with the correct people. Instead he decided that he, not the Ukrainian military, gets to make calls on drone usage.

He wants to cry crocodile tears about how he never imagined Starlink would be used for war when he made it accessible to Ukraine after the Russian invasion... well, they're in the middle of a war. If he truly is that stupid he has absolutely no business making decisions any more complicated than "caf or decaf?"

Russia threatening a nuclear strike is about as credible as a 3 yr old threatening to hold their breath. Come on you cowardly bitches, nuke us already. I fukkin dare you. Nut up, or shut up.
