https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/13/politics/elon-musk-spacex-starlink-ukraine/index.html

We are not in a position to further donate terminals to Ukraine, or fund the existing terminals for an indefinite period of time, SpaceXs director of government sales wrote to the Pentagon in the September letter.
Among the SpaceX documents sent to the Pentagon and seen by CNN is a previously unreported direct request made to Musk in July by the Ukrainian militarys commanding general, General Valerii Zaluzhniy, for almost 8,000 more Starlink terminals.
In a separate cover letter to the Pentagon, an outside consultant working for SpaceX wrote, SpaceX faces terribly difficult decisions here. I do not think they have the financial ability to provide any additional terminals or service as requested by General Zaluzhniy.
The documents, which have not been previously reported, provide a rare breakdown of SpaceXs own internal numbers on Starlink, detailing the costs and payments associated with the thousands of terminals in Ukraine. They also shed new light on behind-the-scenes negotiations that have provided millions of dollars in communications hardware and services to Ukraine at little cost to Kyiv.

I don't blame Musk as much as I do our glorified oligarchy where we worship the rich

One private dude should not be able to influence a fucking war this much

He makes like 10000x more than the president a year

How is that your take away?

The article you posted said Tesla wants someone to pay for the service they have been providing and they cant keep doing it for free. Its literally a publicly traded business asking a government to pay for a service they have been providing for free for months.

Seems pretty straight forward and reasonable.

You mean the service that was originally touted as connecting the world for free?

Edit: wait, was that the other tech oligarchs pet project.

That was a lie, each of the Starlinks is bought and paid for, by volunteers or by the soldiers themselves: https://imgur.com/gallery/afompom

Oh look a wild musk fanboy.

This clearly had nothing to do with the fact that musk had a private meeting with putin and was requesting the Ukraine essentially surrender.

But is Ra's al Ghul immortal? Are his methods supernatural?

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a big gun.
