      He just doesn't want his satellites to be shot out of their orbits because that's exactly what many countries will do once Starlink gets used for large military operations.

        See my commnet about the Lusitania.

        Russia might be able to do space warfare, but shooting down Musk's toys would probably cost him more in the long run.

        That's true but that could have provoked a bigger escalation, probably a nuke war and at that time westerners were bloodlust for Russians

      Musk proposed the partition and negotiation plan in 2022 when Westerners were calling to nuke Russia 🤣. Atleast he was like hey i dont want to get nuked by Russia.
