During a critical Ukrainian counteroffensive to retake territory from Russia in September 2022, Elon Musk reportedly ordered the shutdown of Starlink satellite internet service in parts of Ukraine, particularly the Kherson region. This move left Ukrainian troops without vital communications, disabling their drones and disrupting artillery coordination at a pivotal moment in the conflict. The decision was allegedly driven by Musk's fears of escalating the war, possibly to a nuclear level. The blackout reportedly caused confusion and hindered Ukraine's military operations, raising questions about the influence of private tech companies in international conflicts. SpaceX has denied some aspects of the reports, but multiple sources confirm Musk's direct involvement in the decision.
