Is Elon Musk using SpaceX to kneecap Starlink access in Ukraine on behalf of President Donald Trump?
A Ukrainian military official claimed Wednesday that Musk’s SpaceX had interrupted functioning of the country’s military-grade Starlink terminals, Reuters reported. Presidential adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov wrote on Telegram that Ukrainian defense forces “did not receive warning about this limitation, and this led to the disruption of several missions.”
The disruption comes just days after Trump publicly criticized Ukraine for continuing to attack Russian oil refineries in the wake of the U.S. lifting sanctions on the sale of Russian oil, and called for the removal of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Musk weighed in on Trump’s comments on social media Saturday, writing: “Zelensky has gone too far.”
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, whose country pays for Ukraine’s Starlink access, responded to reports of the disruption.
“Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again? As your European customers, we are watching you,” he wrote on X. Musk did not respond.
If the disruption really is some kind of political intervention, this is only further proof that Europeans—or really, anyone in the world—cannot rely on any of Musk’s products, as they will be at the whims of the billionaire technocrat that still finds himself at Trump’s beck and call.
Billionaire nazi drug addict helps russia. Film at 11.
That’s how you know Ukraine is scaring the shit out of Putin and his pals
It’s well past time to nationalize starlink. Spacex too.
Our tax dollars built those companies. There’s absolutely no reason to let a drugged up nazi keep all the profit and continue making incorrect decisions.
I mean, sure, but that just means handing it over to the fascists at this point.
ToMAYto, toMAHto.
340+ million Americans are all on the wrong side of history because they refuse to find a spine and overthrow their government.
This will get downvoted, but whenever. Americans are a pathetic race of cowards.
Anyways at least Russia is finally in control of you. Enjoy.
And Poles are all stupid and Irish are all drunks, right?
Wow you are so macho,and toxic too. Good luck with that internet tough guy.

When is Europe going to stop threatening D’elon and take actual action against him for supporting fascists and interfering in elections. Fucking hell.
Because a country’s sovereignty should totally depend on the whims of a rich man child.
