    Tell that to the Ukranian soldiers who had their Starlink access cut off during a critical moment in the war with Russia or to the people injured/killed by Tesla’s half-baked autopilot that Elon refuses to admit is not safe for public use, both of which are decisions spearheaded by Elon, directly.

      It was not cut off. Starlink was not enabled on the coast of Crimea in the first place. They asked Elon to enable it to which he said no.

        They had previously had access, and then were denied further access by geofencing critical regions. That’s effectively the same as having services cut off.

          Starlink was never enabled in Crimea because that would be against the sanctions placed by the US. You’re spreading misinformation.
