No their response was very reasonable to someone with strong opinions and beliefs on the manner but then throwing their hand up and being like uhh I dunno what I would do just what they are doing is wrong.
Because this was intended to reduce salaries. And many of those people who were laid off have been unemployed since and are likely desperate for a paycheck again.
You'll see these folks easily take a 50 to 100k cut on TC. (granted many are making 300k+ already)
Maybe I'm misunderstanding please correct me. Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014 no? The current crisis started much later than that no? (Even though technically many consider them connected for obvious reasons.)
Musk is beholden to various international laws when providing this coverage. Like it or not Russia considers crimea their territory and would not respond kindly to musk allowing it's use over their territory.
Like I love how everyone just expects this dude to just as a civilian piss off a nation who can shoot his satellites down or consider it an act of war on his own.
Yes. However Russia has claimed it years before this conflict and threatened retaliation if westerners interfere. It's why all of the supplies we give are only used in Ukraine. The attacks on Russian soil are not with Western supplies intentionally and this would be no different.
Right. The individual base stations always have had a service region. It's why I can't use starlink over international waters and the same thing happens from a fishing boat or anything. There's no purposeful deactivations. Just boundaries of service already established.
It's literally part of the service when you sign up.
You're right that technically he could provide coverage anywhere in the world. There's lots of reasons he doesn't. But that's always been part of the service.
18 UNcountries recognize it as Russian territory. Some of them large superpowers or economic hubs. Including one that's expected to launch starlink soon. (Though all generally shitty countries.)
But aside from that. The rules for supplying things to Ukraine were spelled out very clearly. It's why none of the Western supplies hsve been used in Russian territory attacks. Doing so Russia claimed it would retaliate.
The articles are claiming that he intentionally turned it off when it was originally on and that's not the case. It was never active there.
You do realize starlink has always had regional and location based activation for multitudes of reasons. Including laws of said countries.
Yes. It's deactivated over crimea. It always was.
Similar to how it stopped functioning if you tried to use it in international waters.
If you get starlink location of use is included in the setup. Which is why you can't just slap it onto a boat or something. (though they do now sell a starlink with that functionality)

THAT is the most lib response ever lol.
