It's not real war profiteering if you don't sell to both sides, dummy.

Indeed, what amateurs thought noble intentions paid for superyachts.

It would be strange if he still needed more after he scammed Tesla investors into giving him a $50 Bn USD bonus, setting a new record for pay disparity between CEO and average worker.

I wonder if they've got something else on him?

Not even the article you didn't read implies SpaceX is selling these to Russia. This tech falls under US sanctions to Russia. Starlink is not enabled there. Hell, it's not even enabled on Crimea as was demonstrated by the failed Ukrainian drone boat assault there.
