He's still giving Ukraine Starlink for free. He'd be an utterly horrible Russian asset

Paid for (at least partially) by the U.S. government [1]. You can't easily say "no" to your own government even if you are a foreign asset.

GP didn't say which foreign asset.

The Saudis are major shareholders in Twitter, although personally I doubt they're telling Musk what to do so much as being content to let him run it into the ground; it's a win for them whether Twitter under Musk succeeds or fails.

I don't actually even remotely believe that he is a foreign government asset, but I don't think that's a good argument: giving Starlink to Ukraine is exactly one of the things that a Russian asset would do.

All Ukrainians I know are paying for Starlinks and the fee have been recently increased.
