“How am I in this war?” Musk asked Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

Almost certain he took DoD money for testing starlink with fighter jets shortly after he turned starlink on... so he's being a little disingenuous....

Edit: search Global Lightning program...
