ELON BEGINS RESTRCTING UKRAINE’S ACCESS TO STARLINK INTERNET BECAUSE ZELENSKY COULD START WORLD WAR III.

Elon Musk insists he’s restricting Ukraine’s access to Starlink because Zelensky could start World War III in new phase of disagreements going on as he accuses Ukraine of weaponizing communication.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk fears his satellite-based communications service could help launch World War III something he never intended to.
Elon Musk has a message for whoever might blame him for a third World War erupting over Ukraine saying diplomats are handling Russia very careless and that It’s not his fault if hell break lose. In fact, his decision to restrict Ukrainian access to his communications technology he’s disabling satellite broadband use for any potential strikes on Russian soil could help prevent the conflict from spiraling out of control. If you ask him, that is.

The serial entrepreneur has become a vital player in Ukraine’s defense thanks to his Starlink service, which has enabled communications for its soldiers all the way up to the front lines since last March. But Musk has complained about the cost of this pro bono technology, at one point tweeting that the cost to his company SpaceX would exceed $100 million by the end of the year. Briefly, he even floated the idea that U.S. taxpayers foot the bill, before dropping the idea.
On Sunday, Musk didn’t cite any objections over any financial hit from providing the coverage. Instead, he argued that restricting Kyiv’s communications will prevent the regional conflict from evolving into something worse.
His specific worry is that his satellite-based broadband provider could be used to mount long-range drone strikes in Russian territory that might herald a new, more horrific phase of the war. In early December, Kyiv hit two targets hundreds of miles from its border, a politically controversial issue that some argue could transform a war of liberation into an offensive one.
“We will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3,” he posted on Sunday.

Russia has also threatened to shoot down Musk’s Starlink satellites in low earth orbit using its S-550 missile systems that are currently unchallenged by any nation claiming Elon’s satelites are a legitimate military targets if he does not behave. Following this threat Musk has started restricting his internet to Ukraine as they recieve high NATO weapons to prevent them hitting Russian territory.

Russia says it has high altitude radio link via its GLONNAS equivalent to GPS with capability to track and take down all low earth orbit satellites for starlink.

The world’s richest person has become increasingly concerned about the prospects of a broader conflagration. Musk has echoed warnings of a global nuclear war from longtime associate David Sacks like himself and Peter Thiel, a member of Silicon Valley’s so-called PayPal mafia.

The CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter has taken an active interest in resolving the conflict, which is nearing its one-year anniversary.

In October, Musk confided that he had spent an entire night thinking about how to de-escalate tensions where professional diplomats had failed. He even floated a plan that would officially cede Crimea to Russia, which quickly proved unpopular.

Musk’s comment on Sunday came in response to a request from Scott Kelly, a former NASA astronaut and activist supporting Ukraine’s freedom fighters.
“Defense from a genocidal invasion is not an offensive capability. It’s survival,” wrote Kelly, whose twin brother recently defeated a candidate backed by Thiel in Arizona’s Senate race.
Musk dismissed Kelly’s remarks in a tweet, characterizing them as “media & other propaganda.” Two minutes later, the SpaceX CEO expressed his agreement that left-wing activists appeared to be agitating for World War III.
Starlink’s use in the war threatens to become a source of contention between SpaceX and the Ukrainian government. Earlier this month, Musk’s operations chief and number two at the company, Gwynne Shotwell, went so far as to upbraid Kyiv’s use of the satellite broadband service at a conference held in Washington, D.C.

“It was never intended to be weaponized,” she said, adding, “Ukrainians have leveraged it in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement.”
