One exists and is wildly useful. The other is self indulgent bullshit to distract from the fact that Tesla is a terrible company that would be bankrupt without the circus act.

The other is to distract from the fact that Musk turned off Starlink for Ukraine.

Not turned off, but restricted it to slow travel speeds to make Ukraine’s interceptor drones almost useless.

The Polish government pays starlink for Ukraine's use of their network, Elon isn't giving it away for free, smooth brain.

He didn't say they were giving it away for free, smooth brain.

He said that without his network they would have lost already.

No such thing that works as well as Starlink available yet. Eutelsat isn't comparable.

Musk didn't make this decision. Starshield did, which is operated by the US Military.

They also didn't turn it off, they throttled it and limited its use. It's still on.

No, it was his idea. Nationalize Starlink.

Allegedly, yes. I read the Telegraph article. Its claim that Musk proposed the restrictions to Trump relies entirely on four unnamed sources. No documents, recordings, named witnesses, or official confirmation are provided to substantiate that allegation. In other words, the Telegraph is saying "trust me bro"

We know Starshield service was restricted. We also know Starshield is controlled by the US government, with usage restrictions falling under military and presidential authority, not Starlink, and not Musk.
