Elon Musk Suggests He May Launch A ‘New Platform’ To Take On Twitter

Musk tweeted that Starlink had been instructed by certain governments (not Ukraine), to block Russian news sources. “We won’t do that unless we are forced to.” We are sorry to be an absolute freedom-of-expression absolutist.

Musk stated last week that SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service is now available in Ukraine. This was after a request by Mykhailo Fedorov (Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine), who tweeted: “@elonmusk while you attempt to colonize Mars — Russia attempt to occupy Ukraine!” Russian rockets are attacking Ukrainian civilians while your rockets land safely in space! We request that you provide Ukraine Starlink stations and address the sane Russians standing.

Musk replied, “Starlink service in Ukraine is now active.” “More terminals en route.”
