Musk and Poland are publicly evident on “X” – the situation in the morning
It looks like Elon Musk argues with a European politician was read this night. Also: standstill at German airports. What is still important.
Morning routines are important for an orderly start to the day. A routine that I could do without is the morning view of US politics. Hardly any night passes without a wild Trump message. And when the US president is quiet, his buddy Elon Musk often comes around the corner. So it was again today.
On his “X” platform, he has argued with the Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in a public effect on the Starlink satellite system. The fact that Musk Sikorski described as a “little man” was only a strange marginal aspect.
I hope you get through the day without a dispute – digital and analogous. And I hope you don’t have to fly anywhere.
I wish you a nice day
Elon Musk and Poland are borne out
A dispute between the United States and Poland has flared up because of the Starlink satellite service for Ukraine. On the “X” platform there was an exchange of blows between the US billionaire Elon Musk, whose company empire Starlink, and Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also intervened.
Musk had initially posted that the entire front line of Ukraine would collapse if he switched off Starlink. Sikorski pointed out that Poland is now paying for the services and paying $ 50 million a year. If the parent company SpaceX prove to be an unreliable partner, another provider must be considered. Musk replied: “Be a quiet man. You only pay a small part of the costs. There is no replacement for Starlink.”
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 space proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers. https://t.co/wajwcklgpe– Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 (@sikorskiradek) March 9, 2025

Marco Rubio accused Sikorski to think of things because nobody claimed to want to switch off Starlink. Instead, he would rather thank you because Ukraine would have lost the war for a long time without Starlink and then Russian troops would be in front of the Polish border.
Elon Musk wrote on “X”: “To say it very clearly: No matter how much I do not agree to Ukrainian politics, Starlink will never switch off his terminals. We would never do this and never use it as a negotiating mass.”
Because US President Donald Trump radically changed and announced his Ukraine policy to hire military aid for Ukraine, there had also been worries that access to Starlink could be deleted.
Nothing works at 13 German airports
The Warning strike of the Verdi union has been running at 13 German airports, including Berlin-Brandenburg, Frankfurt and Hamburg. The floor and flight safety staff have resigned until 11:59 p.m., the operators of the airports speak of a horror scenario for air travelers. We have summarized what to expect:
: Union and SPD in Traute unity – can that be good?
The political chiefs of our Berlin office lack one thing in the exploratory talks between the Union and the SPD: zeal for reform. Friedrich Merz had presented himself as a big renovator. And now? Jan Rosenkranz and Veit Medick talk about this in the “5-minute talk”.
What else is important today
- Saudi Arabia is active as an intermediary in the Ukraine conflict. Now the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj travels to Riad to meet Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Afterwards, according to Selenskyj, a US delegation is waiting to negotiate the end of the conflict.
- It is currently difficult to escape the topic of artificial intelligence. But if you can’t get enough, you could take a look at the “Humanx” conference in Las Vegas that starts today. Amazon, Openai, Google and other tech companies are included.
- In Berlin, the topic of coalition formation is still available at the Union and SPD.
