They should recognize that after what happened with the drones in the Black Sea. Lochloosa Sep 2023 #2

Seems to be a disconnect with government contracts and E-Loons reality. sarcasmo Sep 2023 #3

in an Area of the Black Sea last year, when Ukrainian forces—which have relied heavily on the company’s Starlink satellite communications—were on the verge of striking Russian naval vessels off the coast of Crimea with submersible drones. Musk unilaterally opted to sever the submarines’ satellite connection, throwing a wrench in the entire assault.

He's a US citizen and in my opinion, that's called "giving aid and comfort to an enemy", or, getting dangerously close to one definition of treason.

It would be outright treason if we were at war with Russia, but since Ukraine is the one at war with Russia while we only actively support Ukraine's war effort, technically Musk is only treason-adjacent.
