Do they just want to get in some lucrative military deal since it's being used for that, or are they actually being anti-Ukraine?

- jhgb 4y agoThey're already working on a military offshoot for the US government. But these limitations on Starlink are not anti-Ukraine; they're just anti-federal-prison because Starlink is a consumer product and not a weapons part allowed for export.
- john_the_writer 4y agoHe noted that musk is one of the biggest donators to the Ukraine so calling him anti-Ukraine doesn't seem fair. He is anti-stark-industry. He doesn't want to make weapons or things that kill people. It's not unreasonable to think someone could want to help a cause but at the same time, not want to actively take part in building war machines. Sometimes people have lines they're just not willing to cross.

- mlindner 4y agoThey don't want an ostensibly civilian system being reclassified as a military system and thus be subject to export restriction under things like ITAR which restricts export of any military hardware. That would prevent them from say selling to many countries.
