Oh yeah that internet access that they pulled when Ukraine were engaged with Russia in combat and reliant on.

It still has been and continues to be invaluable for their war effort. You can go ask any Ukrainian.

Yeah only when daddy Elon says they can use it tho

[โ€“] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If Elon letting them use starlink is not a good thing then why is it a bad thing when he doesn't let them use it? Could you lay out your argument with a little more detail because I don't quite follow.

[โ€“] Kushia@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because the original person said that Elon is a good guy because he gave them that internet access. Except he yoinks it when their lives depend on it during a live military action to suit their opposition (Russia). That's not a very good guy thing to do.

I never claimed he's a good guy. That's not what OP was asking
