  > Indeed, Musk has publicly cited concerns that Ukrainian efforts to reclaim the peninsula could prompt a nuclear response from Russia, a fear that, according to Isaacson, was heightened by conversations he had with senior Russian officials. Musk's suggestion that he hadn't expected to be at the center of a military conflict also seems to be missing some self reflection: > "How am I in this war?" Musk asked Isaacson during an interview, according to an excerpt from the book reported on by CNN. "Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes." Yeah right: 1. You're a top-down guy at the helm of starlink. 2. You support one party by sponsoring them with devices that present a major military advantage. 3. You're surprised the devices aren't used to look at cute cat pictures. Off course you'll get some angry calls when you interfere. Once you'll have control over information flows, you'll inevitably need to moderate those flows.
