Elon #Musk, the world’s richest man and a linchpin of #US space efforts, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir #Putin since late 2022.
At one point, Putin asked the billionaire to avoid activating his #Starlink satellite internet service over #Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, said two people briefed on the request.

Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise: Starlink being subjected to a lunatic's whims will perhaps finally make people and governments realise how dangerous it is to be so reliant on it, and hopefully it will spur them to seriously develop a non-private equivalent to it! (Taïwan being indeed a good candidate for that, with all its know-how regarding electronics...)
