Frosty glare between Elon Musk and Ukraine’s chief after Starlink satellite row | World | News
Elon Musk and a top Ukrainian official have been seen trading stern glares at a meeting in London today.
The billionaire owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, attended the UK’s AI Safety Summit today alongside Georgii Dubynskyi, Ukraine‘s Deputy Minister for Digital Transformation.
As representatives of multiple countries and organisations discussed the potential pitfalls of automated intelligence, the two were caught meeting on the sidelines.
Photographers captured the two locked in what appeared to be a frosty staring match earlier this afternoon.
Their chance meeting came just two months after it was revealed the Starlink owner had refused to allow Ukraine to use his company’s proprietary satellites to coordinate what could have been a pivotal operation.
The photo captured of the two appeared to show the two locked in a standoff as other summit attendees gathered around them.
But, additional pictures show that, despite what appeared to be glowering stares, there was no ill-will between them.
Another photo from the event showed the moment Mr Dubynskyi pulled Mr Musk aside for a photo, with the Tesla CEO seen beaming from ear-to-ear and the Ukrainian official smiling alongside him.
Ukraine‘s leaders had previously condemned the businessman following revelations in a recent biography that he scuppered the country’s access to his Starlink satellite network.
A new biography of Mr Musk released in early September by historian Walter Isaacson claimed that the entrepreneur sabotaged a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia‘s Black Sea fleet in Crimea by turning off Starlink satellites.
Mr Isaacson claimed he panicked when he heard about the planned Ukrainian attack using his company’s satellites and spoke to the Russian ambassador, who then reportedly told him the attack would warrant a nuclear response.
The historian added that Mr Musk took matters into his own hand and switched off Ukraine‘s coverage “within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the Crimean coast”.
His actions meant the drones lost connectivity and washed ashore “harmlessly”, sabotaging a drone submarine mission Ukraine said was “crucial to their fight for freedom”.
Mr Musk claimed the satellites above the region in which the attack took place were never turned on, and that he refused to activate them.
The businessman was initially revered as a hero for allowing access to the network as the invasion commenced, but in the months following his alleged sabotage, relations have soured, and Mr Musk has openly mocked Ukrainian officials on X.

It comes as the fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran is on the verge of collapse following a direct naval confrontation in the Gulf of Oman.
President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the US Navy successfully intercepted and seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska after it allegedly attempted to breach an American naval blockade.
While the US is dispatching a delegation led by Vice President JD Vance to Islamabad, Pakistan, for a second round of peace negotiations, Iranian state media has rejected the invitation.
Tehran has condemned the seizure of its vessel as an “armed robbery” and a violation of the existing truce, vowing to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until the U.S. lifts its maritime siege.
The ceasefire is due to expire this Wednesday – and Tehram and Washington still seem miles away from a peace deal.

Eight children killed in horror mass shooting as gunman opens fire in two houses | World | News
Eight children have been killed in a horrific mass shooting after a gunman opened fire in two houses in Louisiana, USA. Authorities say the young victims, ranging in age from one to 14, were killed in the “domestic disturbance” at around 6am on Sunday. A total of 10 people were shot, Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith said.
Officials said they were still gathering details about the crime scene, which extended across three locations in the Cedar Grove neighbourhood. After leaving the first scene, the shooter then carried out a carjacking as patrol officers chased him before shooting him dead, Mr Smith said.
The crime scene spans two houses on one street, another on a separate street, as well as a fourth location.
Authorities said they are not looking for anyone else in connection to the incident, and confirmed the gunman is related to some of the children who were killed.
Mr Smith said: “My heart is taken aback, I just cannot begin to imagine how such an event can occur. This effects the entire community. We all mourn with these families,” Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux told reporters.
“It’s a Sunday morning, I ask all of you to pray at your services this morning not just for this family, but for all the victims, for the victims at the hospital, and the community at large.
“This is a tragic situation. Maybe the worst tragic situation we’ve ever had in Shreveport. It’s a terrible morning in Shreveport.”
He said the extent of the crime scene is unlike anything he’s seen before.
Louisiana State Police are now investigating, and they said no officers were harmed in the shooting or police pursuit. The force urged any witnesses or anyone with information to contact detectives.

Two American soldiers suffered injuries after being mauled by a brown bear during a training drill in Alaska. The soldiers, from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, were taking part in a land navigation exercise when they were attacked, officials said.
“Both individuals sustained injuries and are currently receiving appropriate medical care,” the US Army’s 11th Airborne Division, of which both soldiers are part of, said in a statement on Saturday. “For privacy reasons, we are not releasing names or specific details about their conditions until next of kin has been notified.” Officials said an investigation into the incident on Friday is ongoing.

There was no comment regarding the extent of their injuries.
Both soldiers carried and deployed bear spray during the exercise, CBS News reported, citing the statement.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) said it was likely a defensive attack by a bear that had not long emerged from a den following its winter hibernation.
Officials said they have been unable to locate the bear after a search.
Regional Supervisor Cyndi Wardlow said it was possible the bear spray saved the soldiers’ lives.
In a statement, she said: “We hope both individuals have a full and quick recovery, and our thoughts are with them during this time.
“ADF&G will continue investigating the circumstances that led to the attack and try to learn everything we can about what happened to increase public safety around wildlife in Alaska.
“In this case, having bear spray with them in the field may have saved their lives.”
There are estimated to be around 30,000 brown bears and 100,000 brown bears across the remote Alaska wilderness.
Brown bears can weigh up to 680 kilogrammes and reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour.
Bear attacks are not uncommon in Alaska — 68 people were hospitalised in the state by the omnivores between 2000 to 2017, with brown bears responsible for around 96% of the attacks, according to a report.
Alaska’s Section of Epidemiology found there were 10 fatalities from eight separate attacks over the period.
Soldiers at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson have previously been attacked by bears.
Almost four years ago, 30-year-old Staff Sergeant Seth Micahel Plant was killed after being attacked by a bear west of the Anchorage Regional Landfill, according to CBS News.
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson is home to more than 40,000 people, majority of whom are military personnel.
Brown bears are much less common on the US mainland, with numbers estimated to be below 2,000 and largely consigned to just four states; Montana, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming.
