Musk Says SpaceX Will Keep Funding Starlink Services In Ukraine Despite Financial Loss

A day after claiming that his rocket company SpaceX could no longer afford to support its Starlink internet service in Ukraine, Elon Musk announced on Saturday that it would.

Tweeted by Musk: "hell with it... We will continue to provide free government funding to Ukraine even though Starlink is still losing money and other businesses are receiving billions of taxpayer dollars ".

It wasn't immediately obvious whether Musk was being sincere or sarcastic when he made his offer. A request for comment from SpaceX did not receive a prompt response.

Musk stated on Friday that SpaceX would not be able to support Starlink in Ukraine indefinitely. The service has aided military personnel and civilians in staying online during the conflict with Russia.

He said this in response to a media report that SpaceX had requested payment from the Pentagon for Starlink's donations. The billionaire and Ukrainian officials have engaged in online arguments over a proposed peace plan that Ukraine claims is overly lenient toward Russia.
