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.”

Starlink now has over 2000 satellites in orbit.The 1000 figure was from a year ago.

Elon is truly a genius, but does that mean we need to start a war in order to get full self-driving?
A question here?
If STARLINK can provide service here, could they not do the
same for the new Truth Social. Would that not be a comeuppance for google and their all powerful ways?
Thank you, E. Musk.
Would you consider this an escalation, or is that for Pooty-Poot to decide? Asking for a friend.

“Would you consider this an escalation, or is that for Pooty-Poot to decide? Asking for a friend.”
I’d say so, probably not smart to drag the war out, since many other countries may get swept in also.
Yes.
My link was from early 2021.
Well, how do I provoke them in to invading my farm, because all that is available for internet here is HughesNet.
Hughes Net, I think that actually qualifies as a war crime. Maybe that’ll do it.
