ELON MUSK HAS FOUND HIMSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR – AS HIS STARLINK SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN USED IN THE WAR TO HELP UKRAINE WITH VITAL COMMUNICATIONS. BUT A REPORTED SLIGHT “INTERFERENCE” IN THOSE COMMUNICATION LINES – THAT SOME SEE AS AN EFFORT TO AVOID THE POTENTIAL FOR NUCLEAR WAR  –

HAS REPORTEDLY CREATED FRICTION BETWEEN UKRAINE AND THE SPACE-X CEO.

ACCORDING TO EXCERPTS OBTAINED BY CNN FROM A BIOGRAPHY NOT YET PUBLISHED ON MUSK –

STARLINK SATELLITES WERE TURNED OFF OVER RUSSIAN-CONTROLLED CRIMEA LAST YEAR IN ORDER TO PREVENT A UKRAINIAN DRONE ATTACK ON RUSSIA’S NAVY.

NO ACCESS TO STARLINK SATELLITES MEANT UKRAINIAN SUBMARINE DRONES PACKED WITH EXPLOSIVES LOST CONNECTION AS THEY CLOSED IN ON RUSSIA’S NAVY.

ELON MUSK TOOK TO “X” IN AN EFFORT TO CLEAR UP THE REPORT.

MUSK SAID THE SATELLITES WERE NEVER ON IN THIS REGION TO BEGIN WITH.

HE WAS ASKED TO TURN THEM ON TO HELP FACILITATE AN ATTACK ON RUSSIAN SHIPS–

BUT CHOSE NOT TO.

QUOTE –

“THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY REQUEST FROM GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES TO ACTIVATE STARLINK ALL THE WAY TO SEVASTOPOL. 

THE OBVIOUS INTENT BEING TO SINK MOST OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET AT ANCHOR.

IF I HAD AGREED TO THEIR REQUEST, THEN SPACE X WOULD BE EXPLICITLY COMPLICIT IN A MAJOR ACT OF WAR AND CONFLICT ESCALATION.”

IN RESPONSE – A TOP ADVISOR TO UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT Volodymyr Zelenskyy SAID QUOTE 

“SOMETIMES A MISTAKE IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A MISTAKE. BY NOT ALLOWING UKRAINIAN DRONES TO DESTROY PART OF THE RUSSIAN MILITARY FLEET VIA STARLINK INTERFERENCE, ELON MUSK ALLOWED THIS FLEET TO FIRE MISSILES AT UKRAINIAN CITIES.”

WHILE UKRAINE MAY VIEW THE DECISION NOT TO ASSIST UKRAINE AS A MISTAKE – OTHERS HAIL MUSK AS A HERO – BELIEVING THE TECH BILLIONAIRE’S RESISTANCE OF INVOLVEMENT COULD HAVE SHIELDED THE WORLD FROM NUCLEAR WAR BY PREVENTING PROVOCATION.

MUSK SAID STARLINK WAS NOT MEANT TO BE INVOLVED IN WARS AND BOTH SIDES SHOULD AGREE TO A TRUCE.
