re. So why is Musk expected to?
because he said he would. Instead of a stream of fucktweets he should have said: for 6 moths or whatever, and we're entering into negotiations with US state department about past that date.
That said, on top of him being a megalomaniac prick with his own ambitions to grind (a saint that helped the Good Cause, and then, how about starlink for Ukraine AND for Russia), there's a lot to blame on US administration, for not having CLEAR rules of starlink engagement established very soon after the war broke out in Feb. As if everybody thought: oh, Musk and starlink and Ukraine, how cool, let's think about something _really_ important!
