they were quoted in the CNN article linked earlier.


Also the funding warning to the Pentagon was sent last month which pre dates the whole spat going on with regards to Musk's tweet about Ukraine/Russia.

So far roughly 20,000 Starlink satellite units have been donated to Ukraine, with Musk tweeting on Friday the “operation has cost SpaceX $80 million and will exceed $100 million by the end of the year.”

But those charitable contributions could be coming to an end, as SpaceX has warned the Pentagon that it may stop funding the service in Ukraine unless the US military kicks in tens of millions of dollars per month.

Documents obtained by CNN show that last month Musk’s SpaceX sent a letter to the Pentagon saying it can no longer continue to fund the Starlink service as it has. The letter also requested that the Pentagon take over funding for Ukraine’s government and military use of Starlink, which SpaceX claims would cost more than $120 million for the rest of the year and could cost close to $400 million for the next 12 months.

Those aren’t account numbers.

That’s an Elon musk tweet claiming something with no hard evidence to back it up and disputed by the US government.

Musk tweeted them yes, they are also from a letter SpaceX sent to the Pentagon a month ago if you read the article.

please provide links? I've seen some mention that the US military paid for unit and shipping, nothing about them directly funding spaceX's cyber security set up.

Elon Musk is speaking out against government subsidies. Here's a list of the billions of dollars his businesses have received.

Musk's companies benefited from subsidies as recently as April, when SpaceX won a $2.89 billion contract from NASA. Tesla got subsidies for years.

While we’re on the subject of Musk supporting despotic regimes by churning out propaganda this went criminally underreported in the Uk last week.

Elon has sided with China over Taiwan and thinks they should invade and annex the island.

Why would he say such a stupid thing? Oh, they gave him billions of dollars. Mystery solved.

So next time you’re wondering why Elon is speaking up for Putin, just remember that he’s got a track record of selling his support.
