Elon Musk has rejected calls by ex-NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to ramp up his Starlink internet system over Ukraine to aid the armed forces.

Kelly tweeted Musk on Saturday saying: 'Ukraine desperately needs your continued support. Defense from a genocidal invasion is not an offensive capability. It's survival. Innocent lives will be lost. You can help. Thank you.'

It came after Musk's company restricted Ukraine's military access to Starlink, in particular it being used to control grenade-carrying drones.

Musk was quick to respond to Kelly, on Sunday defending his wariness to the increase coverage any further in the country.

'You're smart enough not to fall for media and other propaganda. Starlink is the main source of communication for Ukraine, especially at the front lines where almost all other internet connections have been lost.

'However, we will not contribute to escalation of conflict that could lead to World War III,' he wrote.

Biden continues to escalate. Blowing up the Nordstream pipelines should be an impeachable offense.

Maybe Musk will buy Fox and rescue it from the Murdock kids.

I don’t know what Musk’s motive in being there with Murdoch were, but you can bet Murdoch’s wasn’t good.

I wouldn't be so fast to ascribe evil motives to the empire-focused geriatric Rupert. The kids on the other hand...

I can't help but think that the Murdoch family was in large part the model for the "Succession" series on HBO.

“genocidal”

It’s hard to take someone seriously when they abuse a word like that.

There was a superbowl tesla hit piece commercial so they are going after him.

I heard an interview with him yesterday. I have to say I agree with him.

[caww]

I like Musk.

[caww]

His company his call.

There comes a time in conflict where the game isn’t being played as determined. This one never was...nor will it play out as most think.

[caww]

Zelensky is a fool for thinking the world will continue to support the war indefinitely....so are the Ukrainians for thinking this was their war.

[ridesthemiles]

Kelly taking on MUSK?

That would be PAY PER VIEW time

[caww]

Yes, several reports Ukraine has an arsenal of chemical weapons and bgan using them.

[caww]

Just as everything else in America is changing so too our military....and it all sucks!

[caww]

It’s not unusual now in our country where you take up a cause that seems right only to learn it’s no longer being used for what’s right....rather something else quite sinister.

The “dems” were all over Musk for having the audacity to sit next to Rupert Murdoch during the game.

That’s right - sitting next to him and talking like a normal human being is now a sin for the left. (well, might have been for decades, who cares?)
