On Friday Elon Musk said SpaceX cannot "indefinitely" fund the Starlink internet service in Ukraine and send it several thousands more terminals after a report suggested that his rocket company had asked the Pentagon to pay for the donations.

CNN reported on Thursday that SpaceX sent a letter to the Pentagon last month saying it could not continue to fund the Starlink service in Ukraine and it may have to stop funding it unless the U.S. military helped with tens of millions of dollars a month.

Musk's comment on the question of support for the internet service in Ukraine comes after he angered many Ukrainians with a proposal to end Russia's war in their country that included ceding some territory.

The billionaire boss of Tesla said Starlink was spending nearly $20 million a month, he called it a "burn", for maintaining satellite services in Ukraine. He recently said that SpaceX had spent about $80 million to enable and support Starlink in Ukraine. source

So E*** Musk was willing to take the hit to integrate Starlink into Ukrainian supplyline and make Ukraine dependent on it, and suddenly now that's done its 'too expensive'? Makes u think

 

Feel sorry for Ukraine as this was a predictable move from EM but they probably didnt have much choice in the matter at the time

Oh c'mon Musk you're supposed to be the richest man of the world with one of the most promising company no?

I'm sure you and the shareholders can pay.

Just like twitter, he’s being petty, but all he’s doing is proving he’s a terrible business person. If you can’t fund it, then why did you start to begin with? Elon is the king of starting things he can’t finish

Probably did it mainly for publicity but didn't realize the war was gonna drag and that it was gonna be a longer term commitment and now doesn't wanna pay the cost

 

Thought it was gonna be a cheaper short term publicity then take it down as soon as war was over
