People all over the world are becoming increasingly frustrated with the ongoing Ukraine war. Not only is it depleting resources, but it also poses a significant risk to global stability. Also, it’s calling into questions the underlying motives of world leaders. It’s really puzzling that the U.S. isn’t pushing for peace talks to end this conflict. Instead, Joe Biden is supplying a steady stream of money and weapons to Ukraine to fund his proxy war against the Russians, and possibly settling a blackmail debt to Zelensky in the process.
Most people don’t realize how close we are to all out nuclear war. One wrong move, could trigger a complete meltdown. And if you don’t think that’s happening behind the scenes, guess again. As a matter of fact, we just narrowly avoided one of those potential triggers, thanks to Elon Musk. He literally just saved us from World War III with this one bold move.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has said that he prevented a Ukrainian attack on a Russian Navy base last year by declining Kyiv’s request to activate internet access in the Black Sea near Moscow-annexed Crimea.
Satellite internet service Starlink, operated by Musk-owned company SpaceX, has been deployed in Ukraine since shortly after it was invaded by Russia in February 2022.
“There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor,” Musk posted Thursday on X, formerly named Twitter.
The city of Sevastopol is the base of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet on the Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Moscow in 2014.
“If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation,” Musk said.
Musk was posting in response to a published excerpt of an upcoming biography of the tech tycoon by Walter Isaacson.
In the excerpt published by The Washington Post on Thursday, Isaacson wrote that in September last year, “The Ukrainian military was attempting a sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet based at Sevastopol in Crimea by sending six small drone submarines packed with explosives, and it was using Starlink to guide them to the target.”
Musk had “spoken to the Russian ambassador to the United States… (who) had explicitly told him that a Ukrainian attack on Crimea would lead to a nuclear response,” Isaacson wrote.
Musk “secretly told his engineers to turn off coverage within 100 kilometers of the Crimean coast. As a result, when the Ukrainian drone subs got near the Russian fleet in Sevastopol, they lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly”, according to Isaacson.
While Musk is saving humanity from calamity, all the media is focused on is silly so-called “hate speech” on X and crying and moaning over Ukraine’s inability to start a nuclear war.
The corporate media is churning out negative articles about @elonmusk, who has been generously providing free Starlink internet to Ukraine at a cost exceeding $80 million since the war began.
Why? He doesn’t want his satellites used in long-range drone attacks on Russia, as he fears it could worsen the conflict and even trigger a nuclear war.
Musk has firmly rejected the idea of allowing Starlink to be used in a way that could escalate the conflict into World War III.
Here are some quotes from Musk since the war started:
“Starlink is the communication backbone of Ukraine, especially at the front lines, where almost all other Internet connectivity has been destroyed. But we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3.”
“SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine. Trying to retake Crimea will cause massive death, probably fail & risk nuclear war. This would be terrible for Ukraine & Earth.”
“SpaceX Starlink has become the connectivity backbone of Ukraine all the way up to the front lines. This is the damned if you do part. However, we are not allowing Starlink to be used for long-range drone strikes. This is the damned if you don’t part.”

It’s entirely reasonable not to want your satellite technology involved in triggering a catastrophic world war, especially with Russia, which would have dire consequences for humanity.
Despite Musk’s clear public statements that Starlink won’t be used for long-range drone attacks, some media outlets are now attempting to tarnish his reputation for not permitting Starlink to be used in such a manner.
In my view, these click-bait sensationalist headlines are disgusting, and I extend my appreciation to @elonmusk for his efforts in preventing a potential nuclear war.

Instead of hailing Elon Musk as a hero for his ability to save countless lives, the war-hungry media churns out hit pieces against him. This reveals just how twisted and evil our state-run media has become. They’re more focused on providing cover for the military-industrial complex than on averting global conflict and destruction. But what else do we expect? This is what we get from the uni-party establishment: rampant inflation, skyrocketing crime rates, unaffordable housing, wide open borders, and perpetual war. And if you’re not aligned with that agenda, rest assured the media will be quick to target you, all while claiming to defend “democracy.”
