He makes some good points.

My neighbors and I do.

But that’s a different question than whether Starlink’s contract _allows_ you
to share it. The contract does not.
So I think saying that it’s a good thing because it’s good when you don’t
follow the rules is… well, perhaps a little too much of a stretch for a general
argument.

And if Musk weren’t cutting Starlink connectivity for Ukrainian defensive uses,
those refugee centers wouldn’t have so many people in them. And, more to the
point, Ukrainian graveyards wouldn’t have so many people in them.
As always, the Musk-vs.-Tesla and Musk-vs.-SpaceX conflicts are tricky to sort
out, and may not yield any more broadly-applicable principles.
