Musk says entire Ukraine frontline 'would collapse' if he turned off Starlink system

U.S. tech billionaire Elon Musk has said that the entire Ukrainian front line would collapse against Russia should he turn off his Starlink system.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion began, Musk's SpaceX has provided Ukraine with tens of thousands of Starlink terminals. These devices allow Ukrainian soldiers to maintain communication channels under difficult frontline conditions.

“I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off,” Musk wrote.

"“I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine.."

I would pay in the four figures to see that cage match.

The faster you hit it, the faster the war will end.

You might want to do what Trump suggests.

And this is exactly why it is so dangerous to become so dependent on technology. This could be someone else shutting US OFF!!! Or even our own government shutting us off.

Absolute ignorant fools...

> End the killing! <

That’s for sure. No more Ukrainians killing Russians. And no more Russians killing Ukrainians. We need an immediate, in-place cease fire.

How to get that to happen I’m not sure. But it would seem to me that turning off Starlink would just address half the problem. Russians could keep on killing Ukrainians.

Disclaimer: I have no dog in this hunt. The whole mess reminds me of WW1 - just on a smaller scale: Idiot leaders on both sides sending their young men into a meat grinder.

I’d sit next to you, except I think all the tickets might go into 5 figures.

The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire. Their war to exterminate mankind had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future.
It would be fought here, in our present. Tonight...

I would like to be the f-first to welcome our new Starlink Overlords.

Not just EVs, every new car that comes out is required to have a kill switch. They are pushing kill switches on EVERYTHING. Phones, Internet, Bankcards, Bank accounts, the power grid...

Anyone who embraces this new shiny technological enslavement is an absolute ignorant fool.

You really picked a winner with Zelensky

From Churchill to "obstacle." My guess, UK hopes to roll out Zaluzhny.

UK Sunday Times: Last autumn a British minister described Zelensky to me as “an obstacle to peace”. That such a thing was said on background, rather than for quotation, and is not an isolated opinion in… pic.twitter.com/GnAwuUsMc3— Alex Christoforou (@AXChristoforou) March 9, 2025
