There's enough tinfoil-hattery among the claims that I'm gonna wait a while for the current Starlink story to resemble truth. I highly doubt this is going to be the one time for sure that a bunch of people got a highly controversial story exactly right.
Meanwhile it's a fact that Musk was at one time a hero for making Starlink quickly available to Ukraine, and that Starlink wouldn't exist without him (and there is not much evidence a bunch of other potential providers were lined up to deploy similar highly novel capabilities). So many people revile him for one particular political choice, and/or seem to think that all his immense net worth was unfairly obtained and is squirreled away somewhere doing nothing instead of embedded in productive uses highly valuable to the human community, and bitch and complain when he isn't doing exactly what they think he should be doing with his privately controlled enterprises. If only all those people with big ideas for spending money had big ideas for making it, so they could do their own work instead of seeking well-paid jobs agitating for spending someone else's.
