In his book titled “Elon Musk,” released Tuesday, Isaacson details Musk’s policy of geofencing Starlink’s satellite network over Crimea last year.
"Let us have a certain number of Starlink services and then later a more military version where we get to control it," Isaacson said on"Squawk Box," describing a discussion between Musk and the U.S. government.Crimea, a peninsula that Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014, is home to Russia's Black Sea fleet. In the days following the Ukraine invasion in February 2022, those ships fired missiles on Ukrainian coastal cities while setting up a naval blockade.
"By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military fleet via Starlink interference, Elon Musk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities," Mykhailo Podolyak wrote Thursday on social media after"As a result, civilians, children are being killed. This is the price of a cocktail of ignorance and big ego," he added on X, which was formerly known as Twitter.
"Both sides should agree to a truce. Every day that passes, more Ukrainian and Russian youth die to gain and lose small pieces of land, with borders barely changing. This is not worth their lives," he added.Ukraine received Starlink terminals in the early days of the invasion.
