US billionaire Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday that SpaceX will continue funding Starlink internet service in war-torn Ukraine, apparently reversing course after SpaceX asked the United States military to pick up the tab.
In response Saturday to a follower who replied to Musk’s tweet, “No good deed goes unpunished,” Musk said, “Even so, we should still do good deeds.” Musk on Friday had doubled down on SpaceX’s request to the Pentagon in a series of tweets. “SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely *and* send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100X greater than typical households.
Like Donald Trump he knows the art of the deal and gets things done. So he got it through. A.T.A.R., otherwise too slow...
Stock Exchange is a powerful weapon when it needs to be. One negative vibe and Musk could have lost billions
Musk suddenly realized that the main SpaceX customer is the US government.
All these articles are based on a tweet. While it could very well mean SpaceX will continue funding, it could also of been sarcasm.
Piss off Musk
Es de sabios recapacitar. elonmusk Thank you for doing the right thing.
Private Businesses are not OBLIGATED to help fund a war. If you think they are, you need to pull your head outta your ass and stop being so Bloodthirsty. Typical American War Mentality on Full Display.

Oh, cruel politics game: 'We will take your company under terms of national security if you refuse the service' The aforementioned: 'no, no... I was just kidding'
Like it's not the best PR and proof of its capability Sterlink has ever had? Frankly they should be paying Ukraine for the free advertising 🇺🇦
Considering it's basically US foreign aid, the US government should pick up the tab... But it's not a bad field test.
Great
Who?
How's about we work on getting some billionaires with morals and empathy?
Good news!
.cnnbrk . .CNN .CBCNews .CBCAlerts .MSNBC .FoxNews .foxnewsalert Please cover the ongoing fire, shooting, and situation unfolding at Evin prison right now. American citizens held inside as well.
Musk is as dependable, to America, as China. The government should look for other options, including for space launches. When he can, he will put the screws to us.
After the criticism he got and continues to get it shows a lot of character. I would have demanded payment from the feds and an apology or cut services completely
Huge fires and shootings going on at Evin prison in Tehran RIGHT NOW. Evin is where the Islamic Republic holds many political prisoners. We believe a huge massacre is happening. Please ACT! BE OUR VOICE! evinperison اوین زندان_اوین

Thank you from myself personally and from the people of Ukraine. First of all, we need our people who represent our government
Getting the military to pay for anything is a slippery slope.

Biden needs to nationalize ElonMusk's StarLink system NOW. The Ukrainian military relies heavily on it & were poised to go into Kherson when his system suddenly 'failed' - & the attack had to be halted. He also refused to let SL be used to attack Crimea.
