According to the article, Musk had an acute fear that Russia would respond to the drone attack with nuclear strikes.
Question…. If you were in Musks shoes, would you do the same knowing that one nuclear strike begets another and another and another……

Who is it up to then …..considering that in the article Musk only intended peaceful uses for Starlink.
