What Elon was doing in Autumn of 2022:

A previously unreported order by Elon Musk to cut satellite communications over a portion of Ukraine disrupted a counteroffensive by Kyiv in the autumn of 2022. Reuters investigated the billionaire's order and its implications for countries increasingly reliant on his Starlink internet service.

toward mr. musk when this came out in 2022. It was President Zelenskyy who first broke the news, iirc?

Edited to add: That was also when speculation began about musk being tied to Russia somehow.
