This is extremely suspicious sequence of events:
- Ukrainian counteroffensives in both north and south start to overrun under-equipped and outmaneuvered Russian military
- Elon Musk posts leading polls and idiotic statements to his new Twitter toy, stating that Ukraine taking back THEIR OWN TERRITORY of Crimea could cause Putin to nuke them (and thereby threaten this entitled man-child’s empire if world descends into chaos)
- Starlink stops working for the past 2 weeks in only southern Ukraine

Some of the outages led to a “catastrophic” loss of communication in recent weeks, said one senior Ukrainian government official with direct knowledge of the issue. Many were reported as soldiers breached the frontline into Russian-controlled territory and some during pitched battles, the official said, speaking under the condition of anonymity.
They were acute in the south around the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, but also occurred along the frontline in eastern Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk, the official said.
All four regions are the focus of an intense Ukrainian counteroffensive and were claimed last month by President Vladimir Putin as part of Russia after referendums staged by Kremlin proxies.

This is pretty definitive and more likely explanation.
I still think Musk is a entitled narcissistic prick only looking out for himself but he’s probably not sabotaging. I suppose he could have Starlink techs not work so hard to help if they get too close to Crimea.
