Elon Musk's Involvement in Ukraine War Sparks Controversy and Clarification
TL;DR
Author Walter Isaacson attempted to clarify an excerpt from his upcoming book, "Elon Musk," after facing backlash. The excerpt claimed that Musk ordered engineers to shut off Starlink's satellite network over Crimea to disrupt a Ukrainian military initiative. Isaacson later clarified that Musk did not enable coverage for the Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian fleet, fearing it would escalate into a major war. A top aide to Ukraine's President criticized Musk for allowing the Russian fleet to fire missiles at Ukrainian cities. Isaacson's book will be released on Tuesday.
