he should have worked with Biden before shutting off anything.

There's no actual proof that anything was turned off for that attack; there's a claim that it was but there's also a claim that the service was never ON around Sevastopol to begin with.

We saw this same kind of twisted press coverage when Starlink started disabling its service over the ground in contested areas of Ukraine; supposedly it was being done to damage Ukraine's war effort but the truth is that US Federal Law constrains the sale of products and services considered "dual use" and Starlink has to play under those rules.

The US is currently damn grumpy with China for sending "dual use" technology to Russia despite the sanctions so it's not just something that Musk / Starlink pulled out of their ass in order to shift blame.

Musk is an asshole but I do get tired of the twisted media coverage surrounding Starlink.
