      Not even the article you didn’t read implies SpaceX is selling these to Russia. This tech falls under US sanctions to Russia. Starlink is not enabled there. Hell, it’s not even enabled on Crimea as was demonstrated by the failed Ukrainian drone boat assault there.

    Well, Elon Musk is a traitor, bigot and fascist, so this makes sense. I would not be surprised if he is sharing sensitive Ukrainian data with the Russians as Ukrainians also use Starlink.

    Musk is an ass, but there’s way too many possible explanations and insufficient information to be throwing accusations around right now.

    The CIA should definitely be looking into this, though.

    Just giving Elon the benefit of a doubt. Perhaps the Russian’s might have taken over a region and the equipment was not taken during the evacuation. Who knows if this starlink device is even operational.
