A new biography of billionaire Elon Musk sheds light on how much control the tech mogul had over the war in Ukraine.
The book, written by biographer Walter Isaacson, says Mr. Musk secretly told his engineers last year to deactivate a Starlink network on the Crimean coast before a Ukrainian sneak attack against Russian forces in the area.
Mr. Isaacson wrote that Mr. Musk was afraid of a “mini-Pearl Harbor” that could have resulted from the Ukranian attack. The SpaceX CEO felt that if the attack were successful, Russian forces would have countered with nuclear weapons. If Mr. Isaacson’s book, titled “Elon Musk,” is true, the episode illustrates the power the tech mogul has over communications in the war in Eastern Europe. Mr. Musk initially was enthusiastic about providing Ukraine with copious amounts of Starlink satellites after the Russian military disrupted the country’s communications systems shortly after its invasion in February 2022. After the Ukrainian military began utilizing the satellites, Mr. Musk changed his tune.
