Isaacson on Musk and Ukraine: ‘Why am I in this war?’

“I talked to him during this whole thing and it was late one night, he said, ‘Why am I in this war?’ He said, ‘I created Starlink so people could chill and watch Netflix movies and play video games. I did not mean to create something that might cause a nuclear war.’ … What he did, which I think is the right outcome, is he decided to sell and give total control of a certain amount of Starlink equipment, Starlink services to the U.S. military, so that he no longer controls the geofencing, he no longer controls the terms of use … I think that was his way of saying, ‘I’ve got to get out of this.’” - Walter Isaacson
