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.

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...

[Nateman]

Maybe the Russians will attack his satellites.

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

[StolarStorm]

Not possible as there are a huge number of them.

[minnesota_bound]

Will he charge them $100 a month for internet?

[Steve Van Doorn]

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

[piasa]

He said that more boxes are being sent.

Great job, Elon. And great publicity for the business.

That’s his priority while his country is at war?!

[mad_as_he$$]

That is his public priority.

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?

Where do you live? I'm likely going to buy one when we move to a farm back east (likely Southern Missouri)

[Bulwyf]

Northern Alberta.

[wardaddy]

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...

[GMThrust]

More so now that $0r0$ has now said we all need to back ukraine

said, "Northern Alberta."

Looks like you might have a long wait.
