It's not real war profiteering if you don't sell to both sides, dummy.

Not even the article you didn't read implies SpaceX is selling these to Russia. This tech falls under US sanctions to Russia. Starlink is not enabled there. Hell, it's not even enabled on Crimea as was demonstrated by the failed Ukrainian drone boat assault there.
