Background:

- Musk later responded to reports that he allegedly secretly ordered Starlink communications near the coast of Crimea to be disrupted to thwart Ukraine's attack on the Russian navy in Sevastopol. The billionaire said that he did not turn off the Starlink satellite communication for drones, but refused to turn it on there at the request of Ukraine.
