Wild that Elon Musk may have prevented a nuclear strike. Not really sure what to make of this since I don’t trust anything he says.

This stuff is being written about like he’s wretched for doing it but as far as I know Starlink’s TOS specifically says it can’t be used for weapons (Checked, " Starlink is not designed or intended for use with or in offensive or defensive weaponry.") so this is just melon enforcing contract terms (lol) in order to prevent starlink from being targeted by Russia. Pretty sure the Russians could plink his low orbit satellites out of the sky if they decided they were a threat.
Losing an offensive because I violated the TOS of the software I was using for command and control.
It seems pretty clear that Russia has already found ways to jam their satellite terminals (no need to even shoot down their satellites) so it’s just a face saving move than to say Starlink has been rendered completely useless for military purpose.
