He's a military contractor.

Yes with Starlink which the military threatened they might nationalize if Musk sabotaged Ukraine access again.
I honestly don't think Musk's value as a military contractor is very high, and probably (hopefully) not enough to protect him from criminal liability.

Misinformation

Yes because snopes is a better source than CNN, WaPo, BBC, AP News, The Hill, Reuters and on and on.

Also he has admitted it himself:

Elon Musk says he withheld Starlink over Crimea to avoid escalation

So why don't you just butt off with your bullshit already? You are hereby reported.

Jesus christ dude. There's quote from the author himself, Walter Isaacson who is the person from whose book the whole claim originated from.

To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.

You believe him when the narrative suits you but you don't when it doesn't. Talk about cognitive dissonance lol

Enabling Starlink in Crimea would have been against the sanctions to Russia by the US. Literally illegal.

Anyway I'm done with you. Don't bother replying.
