I mean, I’m not a Musk fan in the least, but the article does say that the receivers are being sold through an intermediary in Dubai, perhaps unbeknownst to Musk and SpaceX.

Because of how starlink works, they have to aim satellites specifically at areas for data to flow. They have the ability to turn regions on and off (ie, satellites over China).

They know exactly where the transceivers are and based on movement patterns, probably which side they are on.

Unless he is feeding that position data to the Ukrainian military, he knows exactly who is using them and letting it happen. He didnt sell them the dishes, but he lets them be used.

Are you saying there is no authentication whatsoever to use it and anyone with the receiver in Ukraine can just use it?

How are you telling the absolute definite difference between who’s using which transceiver in that area and which ones should you turn on or off?

It’s very important that only “good” Corporations allow only “good” people to use their products.

The United States.

Of course, you could also argue that Musk is a traitor to all rational creatures everywhere, and that his existence is an act of blasphemy against all that is good and moral in the world, but that’s a separate issue.

He’s not an elected official and AFAIK doing business with Russia would be a sanctions violation which does not equate treason.

He’s just doing what the system allows for rich assholes to do.
