• 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.

        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
