    > “How am I in this war?” Musk asked rhetorically in an interview with Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

    That's rich, coming from the guy who offered Starlink to the DoD to support their communication efforts in Ukraine.
