Probably not sued, no. The government doesn't need to sue a business to reprimand it for breaking the law.

Musk got himself involved in the war and got in the way of his country's ally, he should be in jail and his company should have been seized.

It's pretty clear you don't even have a basic understanding of how the law works. And you've moved back to "got in the way", as if he actively blocked something specifically to prevent Ukraine's attack.

The service never worked there and he wasn't allowed to turn it on. That's all there is to it, regardless of how angrily you tap on your keyboard.

If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.

Yes, he actively blocked something specifically to prevent Ukraine's attack.

The request he referred to was turning it on. The US had already told him not to operate in that area. He didn't block it to prevent the attack, it was already blocked because the US told him he had to.
