Since you can't put a Starlink receiver on a drone (check it's size) will not fit, I think someone is telling porkers. Also Starlink is not made to work well if it is moving at the same time.
He noted that musk is one of the biggest donators to the Ukraine so calling him anti-Ukraine doesn't seem fair.
He is anti-stark-industry. He doesn't want to make weapons or things that kill people. It's not unreasonable to think someone could want to help a cause but at the same time, not want to actively take part in building war machines.
Sometimes people have lines they're just not willing to cross.
They're already working on a military offshoot for the US government. But these limitations on Starlink are not anti-Ukraine; they're just anti-federal-prison because Starlink is a consumer product and not a weapons part allowed for export.
They don't want an ostensibly civilian system being reclassified as a military system and thus be subject to export restriction under things like ITAR which restricts export of any military hardware. That would prevent them from say selling to many countries.
