It's curious the way that
information can be used to influence audience opinion and understanding. While driving to campus today, I listened to a few different radio stations. WFMT-FM
98.7, WBBM-AM 720 as well as one my mother had introduced me to WCPT-AM 820.
WCPT’s commentator said something which caught my interest. So, with some
minimal research (Bing search engine query) I’m crafting this blog post. Elon
Musk, former chairman of Tesla, Inc., owner (and former CEO) of X Corp. (formerly
known as Twitter) and, more relevantly chairman, CEO and CTO
SpaceX. According to WCPT's host Musk ordered a portion of the Starlink
communications network disabled over Ukraine.
This was curious to me because of the timeliness of this reporting. The Ars Technica article which I'm primarily drawing from indicates a date of 9/9/2023 [updated thereupon] as well as 9/12/2023. Additionally, there's an entry indicating January 2023. Whatever the case may be the onus of the WCPT reporting had been that the shutdown of Starlink services had tactical ramifications for a Ukrainian naval exploit. It appears that similarly to PMC Wagner, Starlink is a mercenary operation when it comes to the Russia-Ukraine war.
