When Elon Musk decided to choose sides and block Russian access to Starlink for guidance and to enable Ukraine to use it to attack Russia he flipped the script for attacking by air and sea. Russia is still doing ok, yet Ukraine is blocking the flow of oil to Europe from Russia that crosses Ukraine. With Russia off starlink he is confident that he can get enough leverage on Europe to keep Ukraine in the game of war- even if it costs Europe billions and billions in higher oil and gas prices to Europeans. Maybe Zelenski is a radical environmentalist conscientious objector to the use of fossil fuels in Europe. He must be the only European politician who believes in atmospheric heating unfortunately

Elon Musk does have a diversified portfolio of interest. Americans too though will soon experience higher prices at the pump. Musk could at least deny Ukraine use of Starlink too and reduce the leverage Zelenski has to keep his oil embargo intact.
