❌📡Musk ordered the shutdown of the Starlink satellite service, after which Ukraine regained territory in Russia - Reuters
The publication, citing three people close to the command, reports that in September 2022, Elon Musk ordered a senior engineer at SpaceX's California office to reduce Starlink coverage in areas such as Kherson, a strategic region that Ukraine was then trying to regain. This move also affected other areas captured by Russia, including some areas of the Donetsk region further east. This order, thwarted a counteroffensive and undermined Kyiv's confidence in Starlink, writes Reuters.
At the same time, this information describes the word of Musk himself, who in March will reveal that: "we would never do this."
