Musk confirmed his reluctance to pay for Starlink in Ukraine and hinted that he was offended by Ambassador Melnyk

The head of the SpaceX company, Elon Musk, confirmed the information in the media that the company is asking the Pentagon to continue to cover the costs of servicing the Starlink satellite communication terminals for Ukraine, and also hinted that he was offended by the Ukrainian ambassador Andrii Melnyk.

 

 "SpaceX is not asking for compensation for the costs that have already been incurred, but it cannot pay indefinitely for the already existing system and several thousand more terminals for which the amount of data usage is almost a hundred times the amount of a typical household. This is unreasonable," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.

 

 Elon Musk also commented on the correspondent's tweet, which drew attention to the fact that the news about SpaceX's notification to the Pentagon regarding the payment of Starlink work for Ukraine appeared a few days after the scandal surrounding the "peace plan" from Musk. Among many others, the ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk reacted to Mask's idea, advising him to "go to hell."

 

 "We're just following his advice," Musk wrote in a tweet.

 

 It should be noted that the CNN article states that the corresponding letter of the company was sent to the Pentagon "last year" - respectively, in September, while the wave of indignation due to Musk's proposal to make concessions to the Russian Federation in Ukraine - when Melnyk's undiplomatic comment appeared - rose at the beginning October
