It appears that Elon Musk is able to deliver in ways that the Biden administration can’t when it comes to Ukraine – and ostensibly faster, too.
After Ukraine’s vice prime minister asked Musk to deliver Starlink internet service to Ukraine – in a conveyed tone that wasn’t exactly courteous – Musk was able to deliver in approximately 10 hours. On February 26th, Ukraine Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov took to Twitter to highlight the rocket fire they’re coming under and asking Musk if he could get Starlink internet services running in Ukraine.
Elon Musk], 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.” Approximately 10 hours after Vice Prime Minister Fedorov posted the aforementioned, Musk responded to him directly on Twitter, letting him know that services were up and running and that additional terminals were “en route.”

Weeks, Joes funds won’t get the bullets there for weeks.
Private v public sector, private always does better. We need to defund government.
Be interesting to see if Russia or china takes out starlink….
Incidentally thanks to the Purple Lipped Prince ‘political attack outfit’ describes just about every federal department now.
Yeah?
Just how do you suppose they are going to do that to the richest man on the planet with some of the toughest most aggressive lawyers out there?
How does Must become a “foreign agent” when Musk is a US citizen who is the only guy providing space capsules for US Astronauts to the Space Station?
“Ukraine’s Vice PM Asks Elon Musk To Deliver Starlink Internet, Musk Gets It Going In 10 Hours”
Musk is a true genius. If the Birdbrain administration had any common sense they would go to him and say “What else would you like to build?” and then give him the money to do it.
I don’t know if it is easy or not. I guess we’ll find out
Seriously, providing cell phone service is an escalation? You’re one nutty Putin fanboy!
Be thankful he isn’t eligible. While I respect this quick action, assuming it’s a real level of Starlink access and not a pr move, I am no fan of Musk.
We are talking Democrats here. They now are after him for moving operations to Texas. Now comes racism law suits, SEC investigations, complaints about his satellites, etc.
We must come to think of Musk in the way we reflect on great industrialists Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Edison
Musk has a mind capable of deep technical thought but is a true genius at gathering disciples to multiply his ability in many disparate and difficult endeavors.
He is insulated from the blue success haters with operations in Texas.
SpaceX has hugh Mfg operations in Southern Kalifornia.
Yes, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be driven out by the stupid left wing socialist tyrants that have punished them
“Seriously, providing cell phone service is an escalation? You’re one nutty Putin fanboy”
Anything that crosses that border is an escalation, so it’s up to Putin to decide how to respond, not you.
You must be kidding. Starlink is already beamed to almost every country in Europe, including Ukraine and Russia. It's just not available everywhere yet because of local, national licensing issues. Easy enough to turn it on when Ukraine's government asked for it.
Like I said, you’re a real fanboy. Are your lips chapped yet from kissing his ass?
“If Putin elevates the Ukraine war into space, it is an entirely new level of escalation.”
Yea, maybe so, but what’s our response? Maybe you were asleep for the past 20 years, but Putin now has some DAMN GOOD anti-satellite weapons now and has the power to blind us, should he choose.
So, if we want to take the battle up there, we may not like the results.
