New details on how Musk thwarted Ukraine's submarine drone attack near Crimea.

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.

    Russians could plink his low orbit satellites out of the sky if they decided they were a threat.

    Technically - yes. Realistically - doubt it. Might constitute an attack on USA, and amusingly Kremlin is just sane enough to try and avoid that (unlike certain others)

      Oh yeah, shooting down Starlink satellites would be the worst case response. More likely Musk was worried about his companies being targeted by sanctions or bans if Starlink got sorted into the "military industrial complex" category
