Billionaire is disappointed with the protracted war

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk made a high-profile statement on Twitter, noting that his Starlink satellite communications are critical to the Ukrainian army.

“I have literally challenged Putin to a physical one-on-one battle with Ukraine, and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army,” Musk said.

He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the protracted conflict and said he was tired of the “slaughter”.

Musk: “Ukraine will inevitably lose”

The billionaire called for immediate peace and stressed that the war was dragging on indefinitely.

“I am outraged by this long-term slaughter, which Ukraine will inevitably lose. Anyone who really cares, really thinks and really understands wants the meat grinder to stop,” Musk wrote.

Starlink is a key element of the frontline

Starlink satellite internet plays a critical role for the Ukrainian military, ensuring stable communication and coordination on the battlefield. Many experts believe that without it, the frontline would have suffered significant losses.

This is not the first time Musk has spoken out about the war in Ukraine. Earlier, he proposed a “peace plan” that caused a wave of criticism due to its pro-Russian nature.

It remains to be seen whether his new statement will affect further support for Starlink in Ukraine.
