    Yes and no. This is specifically about one man who runs a company making a tactical military move at a precise time that was designed to hurt one country and help another.

    What you suggested is what most ISPs do: they make general decisions about what clients they are willing to do business with, and after that it is left to each client. This is what Elon probably should have done, if he were thinking medium-term. But he didn’t, so now all the major militaries around the world (including the U.S.) are rethinking how they want to deal with him and his company.
