Elon Musk's attitude suddenly changed, said - Ukraine cannot be given free internet forever

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has suddenly changed his attitude towards Ukraine. Musk says he cannot provide free internet to war-torn Ukraine forever. Let us tell you that Elon Musk's company SpaceX has made the Internet available to Ukraine through its Starlink satellite. However, Musk said on Friday that SpaceX cannot fund Starlink internet service in Ukraine "indefinitely". Meanwhile, media reports claimed Elon Musk's rocket company asked the Pentagon to pay for Ukraine's aid before sending several thousand more terminals to Ukraine.

 

Elon Musk's comments about providing Internet service in Ukraine come at a time when he sparked controversy with a recent Twitter survey. Indeed, Musk proposed on Twitter to end the Ukraine-Russia war. This proposal angered many Ukrainians. Twitter users lashed out at Musk's proposal. Although now Musk said on Twitter, "SpaceX is not asking to cover past expenses, but also cannot fund existing systems indefinitely. Also cannot ship several thousand more terminals, whose data is 100 times higher than in normal households. This is unfair."

Tesla's billionaire boss said Starlink is spending about $20 million a month. He called it an "expense" to maintain satellite services in Ukraine. He recently said that SpaceX has spent about $80 million to enable and support Starlink in Ukraine. CNN reported on Thursday that SpaceX sent a letter to the Pentagon last month saying it could not continue Starlink service in Ukraine and that funding may have to be cut. It said it could not fund it on its own unless the US military provided tens of millions of dollars a month in aid. There has been no statement from SpaceX on this.

 

Internet services were disrupted due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Musk then activated Starlink in Ukraine in late February. SpaceX has since given it thousands of terminals. Ukraine's deputy prime minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, said this week that Starlink services helped restore energy and communications infrastructure in critical areas following more than 100 Russian cruise missile attacks. Russia calls its intervention in Ukraine a "special military operation" and says it does not target civilians. But several media reports have claimed that thousands of civilians have also been killed.
