Aus einem Elon-Tweet kann man schließen, daß er jetzt behauptet, Starlink war vor der Krim nie aktiv und man habe ihn zwar gebeten, es zu aktivieren, das habe er aber aus Sicherheitsbedenken abgelehnt. Aha. Aha.
Die NYT dazu: "On Thursday, CNN reported that an excerpt from Walter Isaacson’s upcoming biography, “Elon Musk” said the billionaire had ordered the deactivation of Starlink satellite service near the coast of Crimea last September to thwart the Ukrainian attack. The excerpt said that Mr. Musk had conversations with a Russian official that led him to worry that an attack on Crimea could spiral into a nuclear conflict.
Later on Thursday, Mr. Musk responded on his social media platform to say that he hadn’t disabled the service but had rather refused to comply with an emergency request from Ukrainian officials to enable Starlink connections to Sevastopol on the occupied Crimean peninsula. That was in effect an acknowledgment that he had made the decision to prevent a Ukrainian attack."
