ELON PREVENTS NUCLEAR WAR? Elon Musk covertly instructed his engineers to deactivate Starlink's satellite communications network during a MAJOR Ukrainian offensive. This action was taken to intentionally thwart a surprise attack by Ukraine against the Russian naval fleet. The Ukrainian submarine drones, armed with explosives, mysteriously lost connectivity as they advanced towards the Russian warships. Now we know that Musk intentionally deactivated Starlink. Ukrainian officials pleaded for the reactivation of the satellites, however Musk was concerned the attack could trigger a nuclear response from Russia. This fear was not baseless, as Musk had open discussions with high-ranking Russian officials not long before the attack. I’ve posted heavily about the dangerous rhetoric from Russia relating to a possible Nuclear attack on Ukraine, with Crimea being considered a Red Line. No matter which side of the war you’re on, we all want to avoid a nuclear conflict, and @elonmusk’s actions may have prevented just that. Do you think Elon did the right thing?
@MarioNawfal The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did not deactivate anything.
@MarioNawfal Both sides should agree to a truce. Every day that passes, more Ukrainian and Russian youth die to gain and lose small pieces of land, with borders barely changing. This is not worth their lives.
▪️Elon, as a Starlink customer I find SpaceX's alleged technical sabotage of Ukraine's homeland defense beyond disgusting. ▪️Your naive policy is a recipe for proliferation of nuclear weapons: non-nuclear countries will only feel safe from the likes of Russia if they gain nuclear weapons themselves ... ▪️Your policy gives any rouge nuclear power like Russia the de-facto right to invade non-nuclear countries, and your only requirement on them is to ... eventually enter a truce so they can recuperate? ▪️That makes no sense: Russia routinely violated “peace” agreements at its convenience: there was a “peace” with Ukraine before the 2014 invasion as well, solidified by several international treaties Russia signed and then ignored when it thought itself strong enough to attack. ▪️The right policy is to restore Ukraine's borders to what Russia itself agreed to for over a decade they were, and to demilitarize Russia's conventional weaponry they use to attack other countries.
@truth_tesla @elonmusk @MarioNawfal You have some convincing arguments (as does Elon) but your jumping off point is out of whack. Elon has confirmed he didn’t sabotage anything.
@truth_tesla @elonmusk @MarioNawfal Being a pacifist by definition means you don't support either side in any way.
@truth_tesla @elonmusk @MarioNawfal Any action to DE-escalate a potential nuclear war is heroic.
