At this point you have to wonder if some in Europe want the Ukraine war just to continue when they keep spitting in the eye of the United States’ efforts to bring a diplomatic end to the war.
Elon Musk responded on X to someone suggesting he wasn’t criticizing Vladimir Putin enough and that he was only criticizing Ukraine. Musk just squashed that thought with a little bit of history about how he challenged Putin and how vital his Starlink was to the Ukrainian army.
I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off.
What I am sickened by is years of slaughter in a stalemate that Ukraine will inevitably lose.
Anyone who really cares, really thinks and really understands wants the meat grinder to stop.
PEACE NOW!!
Now anyone should see that as him saying clearly how stupid this whole tack is, and how much he has supported Ukraine.
But here’s how the Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski then responded.
Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year.
The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.
Wow. Elon didn’t threaten any such thing, he was trying to say how things would collapse if he wasn’t providing it. Translation? Where is the gratitude and why do people keep suggesting that he’s somehow favoring Russia? That’s an insane take from the Foreign Minister. And there are no “other suppliers” — which is why what Musk is doing for Ukraine is so important. Elon then noted that Poland was only paying a small part of the cost. It’s incredible the ingratitude from these folks about what Musk and the U.S. have done.
But Secretary of State Marco Rubio came in to back up Musk and shut down the twisted story from Sikorski.
Just making things up.
No one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink And say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now
Boom. Now that’s a smoking response. Again, where the heck is the gratitude? Why is this guy trying to stir the pot? And this also scotched the media story trying to push a “clash” between Rubio and Musk.

Musk also backed up Rubio, shooting down how silly this was.
Rubio’s comment had the Polish FM back on his heels and struggling to be conciliatory.
Thank you, Marco, for confirming that the brave soldiers of Ukraine can count on the vital internet service provided jointly by and. Together, Europe and the United States can help to achieve a just peace.
Don’t play stupid games or you might win stupid prizes. And maybe start thinking about how much we have provided to protect Europe and thank us instead.
