The article is a complete joke and not based on fact. Typical of the piece of shit "journalism" Salon.com pretends to publish.

I do wonder about the pentagon contract though. The author writes like he knows the terms of the contract, but it doesn't seem to be public.

But yeah, some bad and clearly biased writing.

As I understand it, Starlink was not “turned off” in the area, it was never even turned on to begin with.

The entitlement of people believing a private company should be forced to actively participate in a fucking war is insane. Ukraine should count its lucky stars Starlink existed at all and SpaceX went out of their way to activate it in Ukraine, no doubt attracting the attention of Russian state hackers.

At this point people would probably criticize Musk for denying Ukraine the use of a Falcon 9 as an ICBM…
