Starlink is critical to the Ukrainian military. And now, Elon Musk wants Pentagon to fund Starlink Ukraine operations.
As the battle approaches its eighth month, Elon Musk's SpaceX has been gracious in supplying free Starlink satellite internet terminals to Ukraine's military in order to improve communication channels.
Musk recently tweeted that the Ukrainian "operation has cost SpaceX $80 million and will exceed $100 million by the end of the year."
Bad reporting by FT. This article falsely claims that Starlink terminals & service were paid for, when only a small percentage have been.
This operation has cost SpaceX $80M & will exceed $100M by end of year.
As for what’s happening on the battlefield, that’s classified.
However, the charity donations of almost 20,000 Starlink terminals (and counting…) have come to a standstill. CNN acquired a recent letter from SpaceX to the Pentagon, which warned about the need for financing to keep the service running in the war-torn nation, which costs more than $20 million each month (and most of it has been footed by SpaceX).
