He just doesn’t want his satellites to be shot out of their orbits because that’s exactly what many countries will do once Starlink gets used for large military operations.
It was along these lines that I was thinking. All Xitter’s nonsense made it surprising to see Musk acting rationally even to protect his own companies.
I think it’s more rational self interest, which he always shows. His rationality is completely centered around greed and egoism from what I have seen, so I would assume he does that because it would not be profitable for him if he did that
Musk proposed the partition and negotiation plan in 2022 when Westerners were calling to nuke Russia 🤣. Atleast he was like hey i dont want to get nuked by Russia.
The Lusitania was a British passenger ship that was carrying war supplies. The Germans felt they had a right to sink it, even though there were civilian passengers on board. It was one of the reasons that the US decided to enter the War on the British side.
If Putin decided to knock out the satellites, people would claim that it was an attack on American/NATO interests. The GOP donors who are okay with pro-Russia candidates now would change their minds pretty fast if they saw their investments being threatened.
Musk acting rational is a weird thing

And they would be justified in doing so. Can you imagine a weapon system that can coordinate a massive drone attack anywhere in the world?
That’s true but that could have provoked a bigger escalation, probably a nuke war and at that time westerners were bloodlust for Russians

Reminds me of the Lusitania.
