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.

Then what was the point of your response?  If he doesn't care either way then why does it matter?  A twitter post won't get him into good graces with the powers that be, especially after he effectively drove Russia almost completely out of the space business in the US (and sparked off a rush of alternative launch providers that are going to squeeze them out of yet more markets over time).  

But that's mostly besides the point, the rest of what I posted is more relevant to actual discussions of the war and how it ends.  Elon's gonna Elon when it comes to social media.
