SpaceX's Starlink wins Pentagon contract for satellite services to Ukraine

[Magnus]

SpaceX's Starlink, the satellite communications service started by billionaire Elon Musk, now has a Department of Defense contract to buy those satellite services for Ukraine, the Pentagon said on Thursday.

"We continue to work with a range of global partners to ensure Ukraine has the resilient satellite and communication capabilities they need. Satellite communications constitute a vital layer in Ukraine's overall communications network and the department contracts with Starlink for services of this type," the Pentagon said in a statement.

The Pentagon contract is a boon for SpaceX after Musk, the company's CEO, said in October it could not afford to indefinitely fund Starlink in Ukraine, an effort he said cost $20 million a month to maintain.

Musk still winning and doing more than just sitting on a wad of cash.

Surprising, isn't it? Here, I was led to believe that the Dems hate him.

Add starlink to their welfare. On top of cash, pensions and weapons of war.
This shit is why I say taxation is theft.

It's not a real situation. The fat asses in the Pentagon may or may not have apparently leaked it to Reuters for some political purpose
