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.

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.

Musk already explained why. The people of Ukraine still have Starlink iternet.
n
Musk has said Starlink was not for warring or for use in escalating a war.

Perhaps Europe could provide internet for warring.

Recall reading that Musk did not want his tech involved in killing people.

“Why would Elon Musk do that? “

My guess is assassination threats. The Kremlin had previously threatened him.
