The problem becomes, what are Musks limits if pressed by Russia? Would he disclose data to Russia or limit Ukraine's usage of Starlink in order to cover his ass? Will he get people killed if he deems it to be in his best financial interests?
He gave them an internet connection. If Ukraine is beating Russia because of an internet connection then this world is screwed.

Musk is obviously taking whatever threat they made seriously.

Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile units shot down at least four Russian attack helicopters (presumably Ka-52) in southern Ukraine from 8:40 a.m. to 8:58 a.m. on Oct. 12, Ukraine’s Air Force reported.
Up to 6 copters, 4 Ka-52, were shot down somewhere on the south.
— Vitaly (@M0nstas) October 12, 2022
There are 3 possible axis Davydiv Brid, Borozenske and Dudchany.
The reason why that can happen - 🇷🇺 has no clue where the front line is.
Once the copter is shot pilots needs to be evacuated, that can also be shot https://t.co/vgtmcOgpF2
22 Ka 52's already lost in warfare in Ukraine; 2 more in accidents; and now "maybe" minimum 4 more?
— Håvard Lindheim (@havard_lindheim) October 12, 2022
Alligators, a species threatened by extinction.
And 28 x $15 mill = a loss of $420 mill, in Ka-52's alone ... https://t.co/IgZX46WOXA
Russia's "irrecoverable losses" in the war with Ukraine have just become known: according to an FSB source, that figure is 90K. This includes troops who were killed, went missing, died from wounds, or were disabled and cannot return to military service.https://t.co/paAUqNL5u8

Dear leader told you they are bombs, so they are bombs. You going to believe your own eyes that say the xray is missing an axle on the truck or do you believe what dear leader tells you comrade?aggiehawg said:
What am I looking at in the X-ray that indicates those are bombs?
Eliminatus said:
Not to mention that Russia only had a fleet of around 100 Ka52s to begin with. And that is on paper. Real world breakage and parts availability means only about 75 would have been operational, and that is for the best equipped and maintained nations. Which Russia assuredly is not. Losing 28 in half a year is devastating. I don't imagine these things popping off the assembly line either with the continued embargoes. And the loss of trained pilots may be even more acute.

How will the T-62s fare in the 2022 turret toss competition?Private PoopyPants said:
That's some deep inventory pull right there. These things were first designed in 1957, put into service in the early 1960s and Soviets ceased manufacturing in 1973.
They will put Chinese tires on them. I hear they work well in the mud.P.U.T.U said:
I do wonder what "upgrades" over 800 tanks will get other than getting a person in them for the first time in 60 years. There has been a decent amount of rain and it is about to be winter, not ideal timing for old tanks to be used.
