Tesla's CEO was challenged on Twitter by Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
"@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars - Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space - Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand," Fedorov wrote on his Twitter account.
excerpt-
Several hours after the post, Musk replied directly to Fedorov,...
"Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route," Musk replied.
excerpt-
...by allowing Ukrainians access to Starlink, one of the fastest, most robust satellite internet systems, Musk and his company SpaceX make it impossible for Russia to disable the Ukrainian internet access fully without cyber attacking foreign data centers.

Meaning he will now never get landing rights in Russia...
Of course, for the next 50 years, that may not matter...

Putin is 71, Musk is 51. Whomever replaces Putin may be persuaded pragmatically.

Star link requires a box that cost about $500. Which has a long waiting period to get. Meaning those that already have the box can use it. They must have been shut down during the war

Very good point. Sounds as though Russia has been telling truth. Russia has not invaded with troops. They're targeting locations.
one psyops after another. When will we ever learn?

It’s noble and pragmatic
I’m sure there is something Putin needs and gets from the master of the universe
Why would Uke minister ask publicly
Something at play here
If Elonious Maximus said no he’d be accused of being Putin cuck freeper
Cant risk that...
