Main Points
Elon Musk, the chief executive of SpaceX and Tesla, reposted a critical post on the social‑media platform X that called SpaceX’s early assistance to Ukraine a mistake. The repost, shared after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had publicly criticized Musk’s political involvement, reads: “In hindsight, SpaceX made a mistake by sending thousands of free Starlink parabolic antennas and paying Ukraine millions of dollars per month for free service at the start of the war.” The original post accuses SpaceX of providing free Starlink terminals—intended for civilian internet access—to Ukraine and of covering the cost of the service during the early months of the conflict. It also alleges that the terminals were later used to operate unmanned aerial vehicles. The author claims that critics of Starlink’s military use are being harassed in the media. Zelensky’s criticism of Musk centers on the entrepreneur’s perceived interference in European and Ukrainian politics. “Musk, as a citizen of another country, is not entitled to influence the policy of these regions,” Zelensky said. The president’s remarks came after Musk’s repost, which highlighted the financial and logistical support SpaceX provided to Ukraine during the war’s outset.
