Does Scott Galloway think Starlink could be regulated or nationalised over Ukraine?

Scott Galloway said he expects calls to heavily regulate or even nationalise Starlink, despite calling himself a capitalist, because an unelected owner was able to throttle a service a nation relied on for drone defence against Russia. Kara Swisher added that Canada, European countries and Delta's chief executive are wary of depending on a service Musk could switch off, and the hosts expect some country will eventually ban Starlink outright.

• Galloway compared Europe's talk of a joint satellite effort to the creation of Airbus as a response to Boeing.
• Galloway pointed to Tesla's European sales falling once rivals such as BYD offered an alternative.
• Galloway said Musk's greatest export is political division, not cars or connectivity.
