Quote from Walter Isaacson, the author of the book this claim originated from:
To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.
That he disabled Starlink to thwart a Ukrainian offensive already showed as much.

Starlink was totally fine with being used for defensive purposes. Is recovering Russia occupied Crimea not a defensive act?
Also that war was already raging on.
Also I wasn’t quoting any book. I was online when this shit happened. Preventing a drone strike against a Russian naval fleet in the black sea.
Your claim was that he disabled it. He did not disable it. It was not enabled in the first place. Enabling it would be against US sanctions to Russia.
