Musk shut down Starlink during the 2022 Ukrainian counteroffensive – Reuters.

The billionaire ordered the shutdown of the Starlink satellite connection in the Kherson region, disrupting the Ukrainian military operation. According to the publication, SpaceX's decision led to the power outage of hundreds of terminals, leaving soldiers without communication. Drones and artillery lost coordination, disrupting the encirclement of russian positions in Berislav.

Musk justifies this with fears of nuclear escalation by russia, but denies the shutdown and claims that Starlink is supporting Ukraine. SpaceX calls the Reuters report "inaccurate" but does not provide details. Sources in the Pentagon and Ukraine remain silent. The case underscores Musk's enormous influence on global security and raises concerns among regulators.
