Elon Musk denies Starlink being sold to Russia

[Redaktion]

There have been some claims made that Starlink terminals have made their way into Russian hands and are being used, specifically in parts of occupied Ukraine. Both Elon Musk and SpaceX have made statements on X asserting that no direct or indirect sales of Starlink equipment have been made to Russia.

Comrade Musk apparently takes people for idiots, but normal people remember how he deliberately blocked the communications of the Ukrainian army during attacks on THEIR territory, officially recognized by the whole world, even China.

So no one believes the liar Musk. It's time for people in the West to deal with such individuals once and for all.

he was blocking areas near the frontlines so if russia gets starlinks dishes as trophy they can't use it
then angry internet mob made him re-enable it, and now we have what we have - both sides can use starlink in those areas
musk was right to put a geolock on starlink back then

Starlink is a service. The hardware is of least concern and is easy to acquire.

He didn't say anything regarding the service itself. That says everything you need to know.

That never happened. The person who originally made that claim even apologized saying he misunderstood.


What happened was this, Ukraine wanted to do an attack on an area where service was blocked due to US sanctions. The Ukrainian government contacted Musk and asked him to unblock the area. To which he responded that he can't make that call and he needs approval of the US government

Musk even gave Ukraine free satellite dishes

Do understand, there is a huge difference between a company offering services that happen to be used for war and a company actively participating in a war without their government's approval, especially making calls on areas that are under sanctions without approval.

Given how much Musk lies and bullshits regularly, what he says doesn't count for anything without evidence.

Paid trolls immediately came running, but they are stupid and funny.
All smart people understand perfectly whose side Musk is on and how many crimes he has already committed. And what's surprising is that he hasn't yet served time in prison for a variety of crimes.
