The Ukraine Ambassador tweeted to Elon "You can F....Off". Elon response "You asked for it" and shut Starlink down to them. Priceless

[rayr]

Why does everyone forget to mention he did it right after a Ukrainian politician and Musk got into it for Musk suggesting Ukraine allow a UN led vote for their countries territory. You all are slacking

[stingrayman]

I don’t see anything wrong with that, its a service he provided Ukraine for free and funded with his own money including all the Sat receivers Ukraine is using to access the network.

[OShackHennessy]

It’s astounding that they left out the actual context of this whole deal. That’s some serious reporting for you 😂

[surj]

Ukraine: "F*** off, Elon"

Musk: "OK"

Ukraine: 😲

[Bymb]

Hey tell the whole story about Elon not just what you want to say.

[dunrider]

When do I get government funded Starlink?

[protorhinocerator]

Good ol' pick-and-choose reporting at its finest.

[JL-vxrb]

Elon isn’t broke. The Ukrainian govt gave him attitude. So he’s cutting them off.

[FashionFramez]

In the real world when you tell a company you’re doing business with to “ F off” they stop doing business with you 😂😂 🤷‍♂️

[workman]

They'll send BILLIONS worth of weapons but WOAH $20 million a month lol.

[jbffalcon]

Guess you don’t bite the hand that helps you do you? If you do you are on your own. Elon has it exactly right.

[SuperEddietv]

725 million in weapons to Ukraine this week is much more important. It's as if the United States is in the Ukraine now. More money spent there than anywhere else. Gotta keep that extortion pipeline system in place.

[andreysamarin]

How quickly the theory of protecting the world remained a theory

[coreymason]

After an ambassador says to "f off" (like yesterday), would you still provide aid to them? ...Elon's disappointed because they essentially WANT war.

[Garrison]

After the response he got from Ukranian officials to his peace proposal he should've stopped funding altogether. He owes them nothing.

[nbnb]

Biden would rather fund the illegals. Let’s go Brandon!!!

[donwill]

Because hundreds of billions already is not enough for Ukraine?

[danieladams]

Imagine Ukraine telling Elon to eff off because they don’t need his Starlink junk. Something half of the comment section hasn’t grasped yet…

[-AnyWho]

why does America have to pay for it ????
