What Musk wants is to sell Starlink sets in rural Russia, as there's a big market for him. He already said he wouldn't ban anything in Russia or Russian propaganda channels on western territories. Starlink has already come under fire recently due to slowdowns and not getting close to advertised speeds in some regions anymore, so much that the FCC retracted some funding as the target speed wasn't met. 

The idea that he wants the war to end so he can sell Starlink in a nation whose economy is so weak and where the target demographic most likely can't afford it at all is laughable.  The idea he would do so so that he could try to sell Starlink in a nation that would never in a million years permit it to operate is downright insane.  Cause it's not about not banning Russian stuff, it's about banning or controlling other stuff.  Russia is quite happy with large amounts of their population having limited internet access.

So no, as someone who is not a big fan of Elon, I must say that this conspiracy is downright silly.

He doesn't want the war to end for this, he simply wants to sell starlink, with or without war.
