RE: https:// en.tg.anyfeed.cc/post/UaOnlii- 134420 To put this in context.

The sanction laws enacted in 2017-2026, make it pretty clear that Musk's aid to Russia in squelching Ukraine's military use of Starlink is illegal. 22 USC 9501, 9524 (sanctions any person who on behalf Russia "engages in significant activities undermining cybersecurity" against any government ).

When one person has as much wealth and power as Elon Musk, they can do a tremendous amount of harm. Plus if that person is compromised, whoever controls them can cause great harm.

Guess this is what musk meant when he said, Ukraine has gone too far, The man is vindictive He holds a grudge for years He doesn't care who dies
