    He’s letting Russia use starlink? Care to elaborate? That would be a direct violation of sanctions the US has put over Russia.

      Russia proper is geofenced and cannot use Starlink at all

      Russian citizens and individual members of militias/armed forces are buying terminals (via smugglers) and using them within Ukraine

      Short of blocking the Russia side of the front line as it changes daily, they can play whack-a-mole with terminals used by Russian/aligned forces

        You said “musk is letting Russia use starlink”

        That’s a very specific claim but nothing in the article you linked indicates that this has anything to do with “Musk letting them do so” nor does it say that he denies the claims of them using it either. It only says that they don’t sell them to Russia and to our current knowledge this is true. Starlink doesn’t work in Russia or the occupied territories. It does work near the front lines though because Ukrainians are using them aswell.

            Maybe you should just read the article you linked and stop making up stuff. You can hate Musk as much as you like but that doesn’t justify spreading lies.
