Why would Elon Musk do that? I didn’t read that in the article. Funny. Nothing comes up on Google searches either. The Truth is out tgere, you should hunt it down.
Why would Musk do what?
Ukes were using Starlink to direct their drones to drop chemical weapons.
A step too far for Mr. Musk.
My guess is it would make it harder to sell any military version of Starlink if he’s giving it away to the Ukrainians. Didn’t he ask them to pay a while back and they refused?
Elon said he intended the gift of Starlink services to the Ukraine to be civilian use, not to be used by the military.
Because they wanted it for free. Insulted him and demanded MORE for free. Then when he dared float his idea for a peace plan to stop the fighting, the Uke Ambassador told him to “Go F*ck yourself”. Then they put him on the Uke assassination list.
Then they started using his system as a weapons targeting system.
Bottom line, they are rude entitled unreasonable A-holes so he had to cut them off.
Give peace a chance.
But Joe Biden says Putin must return Ukraine to its Soviet Union borders.
Musk already explained why. The people of Ukraine still have Starlink iternet.

Musk has said Starlink was not for warring or for use in escalating a war.
Perhaps Europe could provide internet for warring.

“Such matters are also challenging considering that SpaceX has not only received significant subsidies from the U.S. government, but that the U.S. Agency for International Development reportedly also paid the company to send over 1,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine.”
Recall reading that Musk did not want his tech involved in killing people.
Russia has said publicly - if your Starlink is used a military tool against us, we will treat it as such.
Musk has a lot of money invested in it, and he’s trying to sell it to places like India, etc...
He needs to walk a fine line and not appear to be a total stooge of the US military industrial complex.
Russia has said publicly - if your Starlink is used a military tool against us, we will treat it as such.
Musk has come out and said he wants no part of the war part.

For once, I actually agree with Musk on something.
Give peace a chance.
But Joe Biden says Putin must return Ukraine to its Soviet Union borders.
So while plying the high moral ground, Musk has sided, inadvertently, with the Russians. Putin must be pleased.
Elon said he intended the gift of Starlink services to the Ukraine to be civilian use, not to be used by the military.

There is no practical difference now between the APU military and the civilian uses.
'Cause only Uke Nazis are so foul they can piss off Musk.
