Exchange of blows
“Be silent, little man”: Musk and politicians are pollessed publicly
It looks like Elon Musk argues with a European politician was on “X” tonight. His opponent: the Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
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 quiet, little 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 comments on starlink future in Ukraine
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.
