Elon Musk can't stop himself. The CEO of Tesla and the 'X' platform seems to have found a new "enemy", after clashes with international figures and ministers. His latest victim is Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, who "dared" to comment on the cost of Starlink, for which Poland, like every other country, pays on behalf of Elon Musk.
"Starlink for Ukraine was paid for by the Polish Ministry of Digitalization at a cost of about $50 million per year. Regardless of whether it is ethical to threaten the victim of aggression, if Space X proves to be an unreliable provider, we will be forced to look for other providers," he wrote.
Musk responded aggressively, saying, " Shut up, little man ."
"You pay a very small fraction of the cost. And there is no substitute for Starlink," his response continued.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also weighed in on the issue, criticizing Sikorski's initial post and urging him to " say thank you ."
"No one threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink. And say thank you because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost the war long ago and the Russians would now be on Poland's border," Rubio wrote.
Meanwhile, in a later post, Musk denied that his company would cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink.
"As much as I disagree with Ukraine's policy, Starlink will never close its terminals. What I'm saying is that without Starlink, the Ukrainian front would collapse as the Russians would block all other communications. We would not do this and would not use it as a bargaining chip," he wrote.
Meanwhile, the US government has already revoked some of Ukraine's access to satellite imagery and has stopped sharing military information with Kiev.
US negotiators are also pressuring Kiev to grant the US access to critical minerals and have raised the possibility of cutting off the country's access to the Starlink network. (A2 Televizion)
