> “How am I in this war?” Musk asks Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

Really hope the book includes followup questions from Isaacson on Musk's complaint here. Is Musk claiming that he didn't realize his offer of free Starlink to the Ukranian government would involve military usage?

Love to give disingenuous billionaire playboys control of key infrastructure domains and let them tinker with military policy, privatization of space is great.

It certainly didn't involve this particular usage at the start

1. Time to nationalize Starlink

2. Authors should be sued by interested parties for withholding information, even if the case gets thrown out but just to annoy them for using salacious facts for book sales.
