SpaceX reportedly fed up with providing free Starlink to Ukraine
The Starlink-Ukraine honeymoon period appears to be at an end: SpaceX reportedly wants the US to begin picking up the tab for more of its war-zone services, while CEO Musk's tweets have only served to upset the situation.
Claims that Musk's satellite company were unhappy with the costs of sending Starlink base stations and providing service to Ukraine come, which reported yesterday that it had obtained a copy of a letter sent by SpaceX to the Pentagon asking the military to start paying its fair share. "We are not in a position to further donate terminals to Ukraine, or fund the existing terminals for an indefinite period of time," the letter allegedly said. Per CNN, which did not share a copy of any of the correspondence, SpaceX said its Ukrainian operations would cost more than $120 million for the rest of the year, and nearly $400 million for the next 12 months.
SpaceX's letter was allegedly sent in September, which means that Musk's recent tussles with Ukrainian officials over inflammatory tweets have all come since. That makes whatcorrespondent Jason Jay Smart tweeted a bit chronologically off, but still relevant to Musk-Kyiv relations.
