Musk Demands Pentagon Pay For Starlink In Ukraine

Elon Musk, the founder of Hawthorne-based space company SpaceX, is apparently demanding that the Pentagon pay the costs of providing Starlink satellite service in Ukraine. According to reports, the move came after a Ukrainian diplomat told Musk to "F*** Off" after Musk offered up a "peace plan" for Ukraine which favored Moscow. A letter leaked to the public says that SpaceX said it was "not in a position to further donate terminals to Ukraine, or fund the existing terminals for an indefinite period of time."
