A Ukrainian diplomat is expressing optimism about securing the money needed for the continued operation of a satellite network funded by billionaire Elon Musk that has provided key battlefield and humanitarian contacts in the war with Russia.

Musk suggested in a tweet Saturday that SpaceX may continue funding Starlink after all, though his tone and wording also raised the possibility that the Tesla CEO was just being sarcastic. It is not clear whether SpaceX has actually established future plans for service in Ukraine.

“The hell with it … even though Starlink is still losing money & other companies are getting billions of taxpayer $, we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free,“Musk also recently has sparred with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after the billionaire suggested that Ukraine cede the strategically important Crimea region to Russia and make other concessions as part of a peace deal, drawing a rebuke from Zelenskyy.

Musk tweeted on Friday that it was costing SpaceX $20 million a month to support Ukraine’s communications needs. Markarova said Ukraine has “disagreed with Elon Musk on some of his views about Crimea, and we were happy to discuss it with him.” She added that Ukraine is proud “to be one of the fastest growing Starlink countries globally.”

Add this to the list of things that should never have been put into corporate hands.

And the source of securing the money is not Europe.

A true own to Elon Musk and the right wing would be if Bill Gates paid for it

This headline is wrong. He’s already flip-flopped.

And here is where Musk becomes Tony Stark and starts making BANK off wars.

while bragging on Twitter how he's offering it for free

Any port in a Stormfront, I guess, but shit y'all, this is Musk.

Breaking: Richest Man In The World Bilks Ukraine As A War Profiteer elonmusk

Just what the richest man alive needs, more money🙄

Musk is a fool for taking Ukraine's crap. I'd cut them off yesterday. Ungrateful ingrates.

Is that the same diplomat who told Musk to “fck off”?

No funny business AT ALL that “all of a sudden” elonmusk & SpaceX NOW cannot fund much-needed satellite functions over Ukraine and says that four times the current funding is needed to keep operations going No funny business at all

Помилятися можуть усі, але далеко не всі можуть визнати свою помилку, а ще менше здатні виправляти свої помилки...

Maybe it should be outright nationalized and avoid poor litter rich-kid's narcissistic tantrums
