Musk cut internet to Ukraine’s military as it was attacking Russian fleet
New details of the previously reported incident underscore how dependent the U.S. government has become on a company that once had to fight in court to become part of the Washington establishment.
If you're hitting a paywall, here's a CNN link to the same story: https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/politics/elon-musk-biography-walter-isaacson-ukraine-starlink/index.html

What a shit article. Is it a job requirement that anyone at WaPo writing about Musk turns everything into fawning praise? Almost none of the article is about the incident itself, the majority of it is just rehashing all the things Musk's companies have done while crediting him for it (lol) and completely burying that the book alleges he shut down the internet during the drone attack after being in contact with senior Russian officials.
It’s pretty much an advert for his biography lol. It’s going to have a bunch of clickbaity stories which look as though they may be critical of Musk, but it turn out that he’s the good guy, after all.
Thankfully a biography won’t be necessary. The dipshit lived his entire life on social media and revealed to everyone just how much of an idiot he is. He really liked when people revered him like some kind of super human but now that’s all done. He can’t ever get it back so he’s resorting to courting Nazis and trolls. They’re the only ones left still tongue punching his rectum and he’s addicted to the feeling. Too bad. He’s only going to get more old, more fat, more pathetic. His money can buy him so much but he can’t buy public sentiment and the internet is merciless. It will never bend the knee to any one person. Even the richest man is powerless.

Who threatened a nuclear strike in response. If that’s true, it does paint a different picture of the situation, does it not?
I’m no Musk dick rider (if fact, I can’t stand him), but that’s a tough spot to be in.

Not really, because what that means is Russia now just has to say "nuclear war" any time they want to kill Starlink in Ukraine. If he had real concerns he was more than capable of getting in touch with the correct people. Instead he decided that he, not the Ukrainian military, gets to make calls on drone usage.
He wants to cry crocodile tears about how he never imagined Starlink would be used for war when he made it accessible to Ukraine after the Russian invasion... well, they're in the middle of a war. If he truly is that stupid he has absolutely no business making decisions any more complicated than "caf or decaf?"
Oh.
Yea turns out he’s just a piece of shit.
Russia threatening a nuclear strike is about as credible as a 3 yr old threatening to hold their breath. Come on you cowardly bitches, nuke us already. I fukkin dare you. Nut up, or shut up.
