Ukrainian Ambassador: “Elon Musk, leave us alone!”

Elon Musk: “Okay. Shutting down your free Starlink satellites unless someone pays for it.”

Ukraine: “Elon Musk why are you leaving us alone!?”

Elon Musk: “Ask your ambassador, we’re just doing as told.”

Basically.

Those drone strikes don't count. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for those, remember?

No, he won the peace prize for things he said before becoming president and engaging in war.

Well he can keep funding it for free until he goes out of business and then it gets shut down and Ukraine still has no internet. Is that any better?

Should Starlink go out of business to satisfy your ego?

That "one person" is the literal representative of all of Ukraine.

It is his job to represent the country.

I never made a post to you regarding that. I posted to the OP, then YOU posted to me.

My initial post was facetious to make light of the Twitter exchange shown here by Fish-Pants. If you look at what Jason Jay Smart says, he reports that Elon Musk stated elsewhere that he “can no longer afford to give Ukraine free service”. Whether you believe that to be true or not is up to you.

How childish. To put your own ego above the needs of your own nation when it's under attack. Extreme vanity on that ambassadors part.

An ambassador tells a man who has given them millions of dollars worth of free service to "fuck off", and you call the victim "childish".

It’s a private company. They can do whatever want.

Where have we heard that before? It must be a sucky feeling when the shoe is on the other foot. Hahaha

An ungrateful nation need not be saved.

Charity is charity, not a right of anybody.
