Elon Musk gave Ukraine Starlink within hours of the invasion and saved the front line, while European politicians who built nothing comparable in years now lecture him on how to run his own company.

Sikorski asks the "big man" if Elon is "playing politics with his products again."

The facts are straightforward:

On February 26, 2022 two days after the invasion Ukraine’s Mykhailo Fedorov posted on X asking Elon for Starlink. The same day Musk activated the service. Terminals arrived within days. SpaceX donated thousands (including 3,667 via the USAID partnership) and covered service costs for months while others were still talking. Ukrainian commanders have repeatedly said the front would have collapsed without it.

Elon Musk stated publicly: "No matter how much I disagree with the Ukraine policy, Starlink will never turn off its terminals. We would never do such a thing or use it as a bargaining chip."

Europe has relied for years on American private technology instead of building its own alternatives. It is easy to criticize the man who actually acted when it mattered most.

Elon is not your government official. He builds, risking his own capital. The rest write posts.

The actual facts about SpaceX in Ukraine:

- SpaceX is a private company with zero obligation to help Ukraine, yet it stepped up when governments dragged their feet.

- Starlink and Starshield are not the same. Starshield is under U.S. government control. That is who made last night’s call.

- Ukraine accounts for only a micro fraction of SpaceX’s revenue, while the company bears the risks of operating amid Russian attacks and geopolitical pressure. The financial return hardly justifies the exposure. SpaceX helps because it chooses to. Starshield access, meanwhile, is up to the US government.

- SpaceX has every right to set limits on how its technology is used. They own it and bear consequences for it. This is while they actively collaborate to take down Russian access to Starlink that threatens to collapse Ukraine.

- Throwing tantrums over not getting all your demands, including offensive use, or simply because Elon disagrees with you, while SpaceX risks its assets to help, says plenty about your character.

- Demanding a company be nationalized so you can just take its product is the loudest confession that you cannot build anything. You can only steal.

- Europeans should try to build their own. As a space fan, I'd celebrate it.

- I don't care about the politics. But attacking the company that stepped up when it had no obligation to help is pathetic.

The truth is, without Starlink saving Ukrainian communication in the early days, their reality would have severly looked very different today, and they should be grateful.

@NASAAdmin @NASA @PacificAirshow What an amazing airshow it was. Thank you Jared for taking a minute out of your post flight jog to talk my wife Bunnie and myself. You are a class act and a man I admire. Keep up the great work!

@libertytn76 @GuntherEagleman @Larsonlynn0922 Yeah I am not sure what he meant there but it was backwards. Hope he fixes it.

Starbase Louisiana will ultimately have over a dozen launch towers, enabling more than 30 Starship flights per day and making it the biggest launch site on Earth!

SpaceX makes sci-fi real.

Banger 😂

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

I’m not asking you, I’m telling you.

Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter.

I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

X Money just went live in beta and it’s gotta be the single best financial product on the market today

These numbers don't even make sense:
- 6% APY on deposits
- Insured up to $250,000 = $15,000/yr in interest, $1,250/mo when maxed
- The metal card gives 3% cashback on all purchases matching Robinhood gold

Also equipped with direct deposit support from your day job and creator payout support from your posting

Everything flows into one account.
Earning 6% APY on the way in, and 3% on the way out.
I'm not sure how sustainable this is but man is it compelling.

@RStevendad @DecodingFoxNews This is the explanation. Not that Fox won’t have them on, the left will not go on Fox. What these graphs show in reality is that the right is much more willing to interact with the other side. Democrats are cowards living in an echo chamber.

James Woods: “This whole video is pure gold. Adam Schiff clinging to the last shreds of a Democrat conspiracy that has backfired horribly. Eric Schmitt then points out Schiff’s biggest nightmare: there is no statute of limitations on conspiracy. Schiff may well be done.”

@SpaceX Man we really needed that. Amazing!!!!
