How Musk turned his back on Ukraine, despite the fact that at the beginning of the war he was determined to help her defend herself. The Atlantic Ocean. Incredibly interesting material showing the attitude of Musk's employees to the fact that their equipment is used for murder. At the beginning of the war, Musk donated thousands of Starlink terminals to hospitals, power plants, government agencies and humanitarian organizations, helping to maintain communications. Soon, the Ukrainian armed forces began using Starlink to control drones and maintain front-line communications. Starlink provided an important advantage: Russian soldiers had no access to the system, and its signal was harder to jam. This allowed Ukrainian drones to cross the battlefield and drop bombs on Russian soldiers. Footage of the attacks was circulated online in 2022 and caused panic at SpaceX's Texas headquarters. "More and more people started to feel uncomfortable," said a former SpaceX engineer who worked on Starlink. Several employees left the company in protest. Musk also had concerns. In September 2022, he refused a request by Ukrainian officials to operate Starlink in the Black Sea for a surprise attack on Russian warships near Crimea. At the end of 2022, Star Shield was launched, a service for military customers that costs significantly more than Starlink. In the case of Ukraine, a significant portion of the costs were paid by the US government. However, the Ukrainian military largely continued to use conventional Starlink terminals. They cost about $30 a month to maintain, while a Star Shield can cost up to $25,000. The rest are standard Starlink terminals, including thousands of devices purchased for Ukraine by the Polish and German governments. The mask is deceiving. He moved terminals to "hospitals and schools", so to speak, and they were used for attacks. And here is the attitude of ordinary Americans to the war - they quit their jobs in order not to participate in it.
