“Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.”
Billionaire Elon Musk has been seen as very helpful to Ukrainians when he quickly launched Starlink internet services after the country lost access to the web. The orbital internet technology is far more challenging for Russia to cut off than localized ISPs.
Many Americans are taking some of their money out of banks and “woke” retirement accounts and moving to physical precious metals. Contact Ira and he’ll show you how easy it is to move cash, investments, or retirement into PHYSICAL precious metals without the gimmicks or runaround.
But it wasn’t just Russia wanting to deny Ukrainians an uncensored internet. World leaders called on Starlink to block Russia news broadcasts from reaching Ukrainians as well.
“Starlink has been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources. We will not do so unless at gunpoint. Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.”

The calls by world leaders and citizens for Musk to block Russian news broadcasts were generally based on the notion that during the conflict, Russian news sources should be considered propaganda. Musk responded to these claims as well:
“All news sources are partially propaganda, some more than others”

According to Fox Business, he also said that he would be changing focus regarding Starlink going forward:
Earlier, he tweeted that SpaceX had prioritized “cyber defense & overcoming signal jamming,” having said a day earlier that in some parts of Ukraine Starlink was the only non-Russian communications system working and it was likely to be targeted.
SpaceX reprioritized to cyber defense & overcoming signal jamming.
Will cause slight delays in Starship & Starlink V2.
