Musk shut off Starlink to prevent Ukraine attack on Russian ships, report says

Walter Isaacson's new Elon Musk biography reportedly says Musk ordered SpaceX engineers to temporarily disable Starlink near Crimea to disrupt a Ukrainian submarine drone attack on the Russian fleet, a claim CNN reported from an excerpt. Isaacson later said the claim was incorrect in its details: Musk refused to enable coverage near Crimea but did not turn off service that had been expected to work there. According to the article, Musk feared Russia would respond with nuclear weapons, and Ukrainian official Mykhailo Fedorov had asked Musk to restore connectivity for the drones.
