In an excerpt from a new biography on Elon Musk, author Walter Isaacson alleges the SpaceX owner admitted to secretly ordering engineers at SpaceX's satellite-internet company Starlink to turn off the network, sabotaging a Ukrainian military operation. As reported by CNN, the Starlink service would have allowed Ukraine to run Russia's Black Sea Fleet out of Ukrainian turf via surprise ambush by drone submarines.
Isaacson is the former editor of Time magazine and a current history professor at Tulane University. His prior work includes highly acclaimed biographies of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein.
