Elon Musk: To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree with Ukraine policy, Starlink will never turn off its terminals. I am simply stating that, without Starlink, the Ukrainian lines would collapse, as the Russians can jam all other communications. We would never do such a thing or use it as a bargaining chip
U.S. Secretary of State to Poland's Foreign Minister: "Say thank you, because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost this war long ago, and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now."
Elon Musk: I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off. What I am sickened by is years of slaughter in a stalemate that Ukraine will inevitably lose. Anyone who really cares, really thinks and really understands wants the meat grinder to stop. PEACE NOW
