Starlink in use on ‘all front lines,’ Ukraine spy chief says, but wasn’t active ‘for time’ over Crimea.
I don't know if it was a Russian propaganda hit or just the Internet's general hate boner for Elon Musk, but that story about Musk personally thwarting a drone attack really got legs.
It's being pushed hard by someone, a few weeks ago there were vague "unnamed sources in the government" stories about them being "concerned" with how much power Elon has over Starlink, this morning Issiacson had to walk back his description of "drones washing up on shore" after it was clarified that there never was coverage in Crimea, Ukraine asked for it and Elon said "no, that's a conflict area" which is consistent with where they have enabled Starlink up to that point.
Yeah, poor little misunderstood Musk. I really feel sorry for him…
Assuming all of this is true, it's quite amusing how you're still being downvoted simply because some people don't like hearing it. Elon really manages to get under people's skin on social media.
