World’s richest man previously said company would not pay for satellite internet in war-torn country indefinitely Elon Musk
Elon Musk on Saturday announced that his company would continue to pay for Starlink satellite internet in war-torn Ukraine, a day after suggesting he could not keep funding the project.
“The hell with it,” the world’s richest man wrote on Twitter. “Even though Starlink is still losing money & other companies are getting billions of taxpayer $, we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free.”
Musk had said on Friday that SpaceX would not be able to pay for Starlink in Ukraine indefinitely, as the US military confirmed it was communicating with the billionaire’s company about funding for the key network.
Starlink, a constellation of more than 3,000 small satellites in low-Earth orbit, has been vital to Ukraine’s communications as it fights against Russia’s invasion.
SpaceX has donated about 25,000 ground terminals to Ukraine, according to an updated figure given by Musk last week.

what is he thinking....hard to tell...waiting for the government to make him an offer...and they will. they want him “attached” to the government...with strings of course.
Looks like the Biden war cheerleaders had a talk with him. I wonder how he was threatened? His money or his life? Both?
He’s not running a charity, he stepped to help, who knows what it cost him. Now being dumped on by MSM and Zelensky for suggesting peace talks. I say cut them off.
They were going to have Amber Heard go over to his house.
Or give them what they’re paying for….nothing. “Sorry but the satellites are down. I think we got hacked!”
Did you get my post telling you to never PM me again? This is the 3rd time I’ve had to tell you. What’s wrong with you?
he should say he expects an equivalent amount in tax writ offs...
Now those leeches will want it for free from now on till the end of time
cut them off!!!
Elong Musk is an independent thinker.
“Independent Thinkers are analytical and self-confident and do not get worked up by conflicts and criticism. Independent Thinkers are open to debate topics they are interested in and are well prepared to compare and contrast beliefs with logic and empirical evidence.
By virtue of “independence” the Independent Thinker is able to consider many different views to determine which is based on truth and facts. To be an Independent Thinker you can learn as much from people whose views are opposite yours, but not because they influence or control your beliefs, but instead because they often confirm them.
I believe most Freepers are independent thinkers as well. :)
He also said:
- Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
You ok with that?
Maybe, now, his favorite government, here, will pretend that he manufactures electric vehicles and invite him to the White House.
Musk isn’t looking too smart, at this point.
It seems to be some sort of passive-aggressive behavior or compulsion, ask the mods to tell her to knock it off if it happens again.
“Looks like the Biden war cheerleaders had a talk with him. I wonder how he was threatened?”
He is currently under a Federal investigation over his Twitter deal.
Sucker.
It’s three times, and I’ve warned her each time. This time she sent me two links in PM. There’s something seriously wrong with her and if anyone opens up a link she sends they are looking for trouble.
No good deed goes unpunished....
A lot of us have experienced it from her, it goes against FR rules to harass and stalk people and carry grudges from thread to thread, and it doesn’t seem to matter if you are pro-Ukraine or pro-Russia to her.
