Rubio and Musk turn on Polish foreign minister in spat over Starlink use in Ukraine: ‘Be quiet small man’
Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 · Mar 9, 2025 @sikorskiradek · Follow Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk Replying to @AdamLowisz 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… Elon Musk
Marco Rubio @marcorubio · Follow Just making things up. No one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink
And 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

I'm mostly a live and let live kind of guy. Typical woolly Liberal, me.
So when someone makes an ill-judged joke, even about something as horrendous as the Holocaust, I think cool heads need to prevail.
As these horrendous acts become longer and longer ago, it is inevitable that people will fail to comprehend the magnitude of the horror of 80 years ago.
Once. Because then people (quite rightly) point out just how offensive to millions of people a "joke" or a "salute" is. Whereupon decent human beings modify their behaviour. And deserve forgiveness.
Then there are people who do it time and time again. And it is at that point I stop being a woolly Liberal. A forgiving type.

And believe those people to be a waste of flesh.
Tesla have apparently written to the US government complaining about tariffs.

Be quiet, small man.
You pay a tiny fraction of the cost.
And there is no substitute for Starlink.
