It was recently revealed that Elon Musk prevented Ukraine from engaging in a drone attack against the Russian Fleet in the black sea. Musk was able to exercise this power due to his involvement in Ukrainian communications through his satellite internet company, Starlink. Ukraine and Ukrainian military forces have relied heavily on Starlink for communication ever since Russia shut off internet access to the country at the beginning of the war. Since Musk has control over communications, he has the ability to stop Ukraine from committing any act of war if he so chooses. This brings into question the ethics of Musk being involved in the war and whether or not a single man should have such power. Musk currently has the ability to shut down Ukraine's entire internet infrastructure if he so chooses, which would be catastrophic. Ukrainian officials have had many problems with Starlink and Musk over the last couple of years, with Musk exerting increasing levels of power over Ukraine.
