, posting on X in response on September 7:"The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did not deactivate anything."has published a correction that fits Musk's explanation."After publication of this adaptation," it read,"the author learned that his book mischaracterized the attempted attack by Ukrainian drones on the Russian fleet in Crimea.
"Musk had already disabled coverage within 100 km of the Crimean coast before the attack began, and when the Ukrainians discovered this, they asked him to activate the coverage, and he refused. This version reflects that change."on September 9, writing"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.", claims that the"Ukrainian military was attempting a sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet based at Sevastopol in Crimea by sending six small drone submarines packed with explosives, and it was using Starlink to guide them to the target.
