Elon Musk turns on internet for Ukraine

This is one of the most powerful maneuvers by a single person in the history of warfare. Don’t take this lightly. This is huge!

Notable responses included:

Ukraine: “Thanx, appreciate it.”
Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine: “Starlink terminals are coming to Ukraine! Thank you @elonmusk , thank you everyone, who supported Ukraine!”

Robert C. O’Brien, former national security adviser: “I said in my remarks to @CPAC today that @elonmusk is one of the reasons America will ultimately prevail against #Russia and #China. Below is Exhibit A in support of my argument. #Ukraine #Freedom”

Payton Alexander, attorney: “The people of Ukraine, an embattled war-torn country, will now receive high speed, low latency, broadband internet from space. Russia cannot touch it.”

Klon Kitchen, AEI senior fellow: “Awesome. Also, a major example of how the national security burden is now shared with the private sector in fundamental and powerful ways. Well done @elonmusk (but we should talk about China).”

Maye Musk, Elon Musk’s mother: “@elonmusk Wonderful! #ProudMom #StopTheWar #Ukraine.”

Bel Trew, reporter: “Well this is quite something. One of the biggest fears among Ukrainians I’ve been speaking to is being completely cut off from the world while the worst attacks happens.”

Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner: “Great to see! America has a strategic interest in allied enterprises beaming Internet abroad—from Cuba to Afghanistan & now Ukraine. Bills introduced last year by @marcorubio @SenRickScott @RepMariaSalazar would ensure the U.S. backs those efforts. Let’s pass those bills ASAP.”

Scott Adams, political commentator: “Pushes a button and changes the course of history.”

Scott Gilmore, magazine editor: “SpaceX donating starlink terminals means it’s now impossible for Russia to shut down the internet. This keeps Pres Zelenskyy connected to Ukrainians and keeps Ukrainians connected to the world. It’s a monumental boon to their fight.”

Mike Cernovich, political commentator: “Elon Musk is Iron Man. The West sees all conflict now as a 3 act comic book movie.”

I'm pretty sure the Russians could destroy the satellite if they wanted to.

4 years ago, Ukraine asked the United States for weapons and got turned down. if they had the weapons they needed so badly none of this would be happening today.

With better foresight, we could have sent all of the abandoned U.S. military equipment left behind in Afghanistan to Ukraine. The distance would have been easily manageable.

I believe Starlink uses thousands of small low orbit satellites, not just the couple large high orbit ones Viasat and Hughes Net do.

Distance from Kabul, Afghanistan to Kiev, Ukraine

Pretty damn admirable of him to do this. This will certainly put Starlink to the test.

Holy shit I need to ban you again.

THE "WHITE HATS" have NEVER been in control, you moron.

Your supposed "WHITE HATS" haven't done a single thing since you proclaimed the existence of "WHITE HATS."

This is all "Q" nonsense garbage bullshit insanity....you're as nuts and as triggered as those on the left who can't cope with Michele Tafoya returning to the View as a guest host.

I guess this is your coping mechanism for the world travelling down the worst possible path with zero hope for a correction. But I tire of it...grow up already.

****ing white hats. Like it's a Marvel movie.

You've moved the goalpost so far from what the original "White Hats" were supposed to accomplish, you have to be the most delusional person on earth to continue believing in that bullshit.

Happy Passover.
