I expect that Elon Musk will disconnect all of Ukraine from Starlink sometime this week. They were given a forerunner and then the service appeared to be restored. The damning and the recriminations and the mellow harshing were allowed to run their course and the course ran over some very stony ground of hatred, disdain and stupidity. That was a mistake.
Everyone remember how the democrats used deplatforming as a tool to punish guide their enemies to correct thought? As I recall, democrats are damned near universal in declaring their sovereign right to deplatform: speakers, students, weapon makers and sellers, republicans, people they don't like and everyone remembers how Twitter deplatformed a sitting President for thought crimes and things they heartily hate.
I think Elon Musk is going to turn off Starlink and deplatform Ukraine and he won't turn it back on. Why would he?
I'm pretty sure that 96% of Americans and 99% of Europeans don't understand just how easy it is for the professional and technical class to simply make things not work. Or maybe enough of the anti-democratic forces do understand and that's why they destroyed nuclear power energy and gas for domestic energy supply sources. Power itself can hold a government hostage or at least break one. At any rate, all Musk has to do is make things not work for awhile. It will be interesting, the conniptions we go through to nationalize industries and enslave their work force.
