Link to tweet
For nonTwitter types Musk wrote
Starlink has been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources. We will not do so unless at gunpoint.
Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.
Also Musk has said that all government speech is propaganda. So be prepared for Russian bots
and videos of Russian rapists running nonstop.
Maybe he will allow Texas vigilantes to get access to personal information concerning reproductive health. He supports Abbott so who knows what he will do.

misinformation will cause?
Would be karmic if he puts himself in a position where someone could sue him for billions.

Just dogmatic, self-righteous... and very easy to tease.
