In my latest column for UnHerd I look at the recent media firestorm surrounding Elon Musk — this time concerning the role of his Starlink satellite system in Ukraine. According to his detractors, Musk thwarted a Ukrainian attempt to use SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet system — which has been providing communications services to Ukraine since the start of the war — to launch a major sneak attack in September 2022 on the Russian fleet based in Crimea. Is this true? But more importantly, how did a private entrepreneur end up playing such a big role in the Ukraine war? Is Musk really as innocent as he claims? Or do his ties to the US military-industrial and national security complex reveal a darker side? Click here to have all your questions answered.
