Musk accuses Ukraine of ‘killing people’ with Starlink, then calls it ‘critical’
The contradiction between Musk's accusations and his own claims about Starlink's importance is as sharp as a drone strike.
The story
Elon Musk claims Ukraine violated Starlink's terms of service by using it for offensive drone strikes, leading to speed restrictions. Ukraine regained access, but the cause of the slowdown remains unclear.

Our reading
Elon Musk, ever the self-appointed arbiter of digital morality, claims Ukraine used Starlink to ‘kill people’—a charge that would be more convincing if the system weren’t still essential to their war effort. The same Starlink that’s supposedly being weaponized is also the only way they can communicate without Russian interference. It’s like accusing someone of using a fire extinguisher to start a fire. Musk’s logic is as coherent as a Wi-Fi signal in a war zone. Ukraine’s military, which has been relying on Starlink since the war began, suddenly found itself cut off without warning. The only thing more confusing than the restrictions is the fact that Musk still calls Starlink ‘critical to the defense of Ukraine.’ It’s a bit like saying, ‘I’m not a bad guy, I just occasionally tell people to burn in hell.’
