STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSWASHINGTON - Elon Musk said he refused a Ukrainian request to activate his Starlink satellite network in Crimea's port city of Sevastopol last year to aid an attack on Russia's fleet there, saying he feared complicity in a"major" act of war.
"The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor," Musk wrote."If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation." According to CNN, Walter Isaacson's new biography"Elon Musk," to be released by Simon & Schuster on Tuesday, says that when Ukrainian explosive-laden submarine drones last year approached the Russian fleet, they"lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly."
In August, a Russian warship was seriously damaged in a Ukrainian naval drone attack on Russia's Black Sea navy base at Novorossiysk, the first time the Ukrainian navy has projected its power so far from the country's shores.
