Yeah, cause he keeps disabling Starlink internet access when Ukrainian drones are about to attack strategic points well behind the front, such as the bridge between Crimea and Russia.

Self-fulfilling prophecy there.

Source on him/SpaceX disabling Starlink proactively? AFAIK Starlink was never enabled for Crimea (as confirmed by Issacsson, which whether good or bad is not the same as "keeps disabling Starlink internet access".

The url contents say exactly what I wrote, that Musk didn't agree to requests to enable Starlink in additional areas (and did not disable anything that was activated before). The first link title is clickbait and the text says something very different.

From the article:

> Elon Musk on Thursday acknowledged turning off internet access from his Starlink satellites during a Ukrainian raid last year on a Russian naval fleet, saying he did so to prevent SpaceX from being “complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.”

The primary source exists. There's still no Crimea service
