• Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday praised Elon Musk, calling the Tesla and SpaceX founder a “talented businessman.”
  • Putin was discussing Russia’s space program after a failed moon landing last month.
  • His comments come after Musk said last week that he refused an emergency request by the Ukrainian government to extend coverage of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites to Sevastopol in Crimea.

    He is but Putin is saying this now to sow divide. Fuck Elon take Starlink and his wealth from him, but he is overall helping Ukraine. What he did was an egotistical shitty bitch move and Putin is trying to use it as a weapon.

    Just pointing it out, that’s how Putin operates

          Supplied them? That’s a funny way of saying was paid for his services and then declined to provide said service randomly.

            (I’ll preface this by saying, I hate musk and he’s definitely a Russia bitch boy)

            Except he didn’t randomly stop the service. He had never activated service in the area they wanted in the first place. This user gave a better write up than I could

            Exactly the CURRENT issue. Before this point he was providing aid.

            Don’t try to do that
