  He also publicly endorsed Putin's plan for Ukraine and prevented the Ukrainian government from using SpaceX hardware near the front line. Edit also he only doesn't launch Russian and Chinese gear because he knows the Federal Government would seize SpaceX. They would come in hard and force him to divest all ownership.
