(58,304 posts)in an Area of the Black Sea last year, when Ukrainian forceswhich have relied heavily on the companys Starlink satellite communicationswere on the verge of striking Russian naval vessels off the coast of Crimea with submersible drones. Musk unilaterally opted to sever the submarines satellite connection, throwing a wrench in the entire assault.
He's a US citizen and in my opinion, that's called "giving aid and comfort to an enemy", or, getting dangerously close to one definition of treason.
It would be outright treason if we were at war with Russia, but since Ukraine is the one at war with Russia while we only actively support Ukraine's war effort, technically Musk is only treason-adjacent.
