The Twitter , Tesla and Space X boss is under fire for denying the Ukraine access to his satellite links to the Ukraine military….
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has come under fire from Ukraine after it emerged he thwarted a major attack on the Russian navy.
According to excerpts published by CNN, a soon-to-be-released biography of the SpaceX CEO claims that Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his Starlink satellite network over Russian-occupied Crimea last year in order to prevent a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s naval fleet.
Musk was worried that the planned attack on the Kremlin’s Black Sea fleet, which occurred early in the war, could escalate tensions and potentially lead to nuclear conflict, according to the extract from historian Walter Isaacson’s upcoming book.
The claim was immediately met with criticism from Kyiv.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, blasted the tech billionaire on X, formerly Twitter, which Musk owns.
“Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake,” Podolyak wrote.
“By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via #Starlink interference, @elonmusk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities,” he added.
Russia is known to have used its naval ships in the Black Sea to strike deep into Ukrainian territory and impose an effective blockade of the Ukrainian Black Sea coast, which is crucial to global grain shipments…..

President Biden’s ad on his help to the Ukraine…..
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is highlighting the most high-stakes journey of his presidency — a surprise visit to Ukraine in February — to make the case for what it calls the “quiet strength of a true leader” while drawing a major foreign policy contrast with the GOP.
The new, 60-second advertisement will air in battleground states this weekend during the prime-time broadcast of “60 Minutes” while Biden is due to attend the G-20 Summit here, a gathering of leaders of the world’s largest economies that won’t include two geopolitical rivals, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping.
Biden has based his foreign policy on the idea that the 21st Century will be defined by the contest between democracies like the United States and autocracies line Russia and China. Biden has said his ability to maintain support of U.S. allies for Ukraine is one of his most difficult but significant accomplishments, and now his campaign is aiming to elevate that ahead of the 2024 race.

Elon Musk is supporting sworn enemy of the US Vladimir Putin, who put bounties on the heads of American servicemen.
