Soft paywall, more of a minor speedbump.

This is hard to dismiss as a mere “hit piece”. The main point is some people expressing concern that one erratic person, sometimes seemingly pro-Russian, has so much control over important infrastructure. The main example is Ukraine, but Taiwan is mentioned too. Despite measured negativity, it is also mentioned how Starlink has helped Ukraine, with a positive comment from Ukraine’s digital minister.

It also has some nice animations and pictures (though the Starlink interconnect diagram looks hopelessly wrong).

Honestly, what? You’re just making stuff up. If he was in favor of Russia he’d have never given access to Starlink in the first place. That was a huge strategic advantage for Ukraine.

SpaceX spent 100 million on supporting Ukraine. I don’t think any other company has funded Ukraine’s defense efforts with that amount of money

There’s no evidence he did any such thing. He’s like Trump - he just lies and hopes no one fact checks. He refuses to provide evidence and we’ve had reporting that the US government is actually the one paying
