 CNN: Musk turned off Starlink near Crimea to disrupt Ukraine's strike against Russian fleet

Basic logic test: if Elmo chooses to help fascists rather than a country with a democratically elected government, then Elmo is a ________.  (my answer was “fascist” but I’m thinking there are multiple correct answers)  https://kyivindependent.com/cnn-musk-turned-off-starlink-near-crimea-to-prevent-ukraines-strike-against-russian-fleet/

I just picture Elon forming his own John Lennon cover band & singing:

“All we are saying/Is give Putin a chance …”

Note that Elon's “Don't use my peaceful invention for violence" posture is not even-handed, because it only deprives ONE side of precision navigation. Russia has GLONASS to help target their missiles & drones.

It's a bit like walking into a DV incident, plucking a baseball bat from the hands of the battered victim & going “Stop, stop, that's not what that's for!”
