The Spin

Narrative A

Starlink's internet satellites have widely been described as a "game changer" for Ukraine, and Elon Musk has already donated upwards of $80M of its services to the country for free. Placing him on the kill list was a poor move.

Narrative B

Despite Musk's attempts to look like a hero, his companies are heavily subsidized, and SpaceX's Starlink satellites are already funded mainly by government entities. In a cheap move, the billionaire is clearly trying to pass what's left of the bill to someone else while still taking credit.
