Elon Musk reportedly asked the Pentagon to help fund Ukraine’s government use of Starlink, which could cost SpaceX about $400 million over the next year.
That was SpaceX CEO Elon Musk explaining that the company cannot fund Starlink services for people in Ukraine in perpetuity because it’s too expensive.
The Tesla TSLA, -6.92% CEO and potential future Twitter TWTR, +0.43% executive has weighed in on the Russia-Ukraine conflict on several occasions since the original military action by Russian President Vladimir Putin. This all comes as a CNN reported that Musk recently informed the Pentagon that his company cannot fund Starlink services in Ukraine much longer.
