It should have been "obvious what they were going to do" the moment their country was invaded and they fought back instead of rolling over.
Elon Musk is now interfering in the defense against an ongoing genocide. He offered them this infrastructural support, he was going to get paid for it, he has shot himself in the foot on that side of the equation, and he is using that "mistake" to justify interfering in policy and planning for a sovereign government trying to defend its people.
There's no acceptable way to spin this. As my high school accounting teacher used to say, "You either knew or should have known." He knows what he's doing, or he's dangerously incompetent. Either way, he should be cut off from any opportunity to fuck with Ukraine.
