Exactly. People are mad that SpaceX didn't go out of its way to help Ukraine, and they're largely making up stuff about them somehow supporting Russia, when SpaceX just wants to provide civilian service
If SpaceX gets involved in US military interests, that's going to significantly impact their ability to provide their service outside the US.
You just know that once the direct to cell service is live, Russians are going to kill Ukrainian civilians, take their cell phones, and use starlink to send a message, and it'll be yet more proof that SpaceX does Russia's bidding!
Yup, SpaceX is always coming up with ways to get their service into Russian hands...
I figured it out...
It's trickle down war supplies.
SpaceX can't support Russia directly, so they give all sorts of support to Ukraine. Then, they know Russia will get a small portion of it somehow and that's how Russia will win the war.
All SpaceX has to do is keep giving more and more hardware to Ukraine and eventually Russia will be able to turn the tide and defeat them!
