Summary
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for respect among allies after a heated exchange between U.S. and Polish officials over Ukraine’s reliance on Elon Musk’s Starlink.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio rebuked Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski for suggesting Ukraine might need an alternative provider, calling him “ungrateful.”
Musk dismissed concerns and insisted Starlink would not be shut off after threatening to do so.
Meanwhile, speculation about a Starlink replacement caused a surge in Eutelsat’s stock.
Was it actually a US-Poland spat?
I thought it was just Musk running his mouth on Twitter as per.
If that’s the case I think it’s a dangerous game for the wider world to conflate Musk’s actions with the US as a whole
Edit: Seems like it was also US official/s taking part. What a wonderful world we live in 🙃
It was both Musk and Marco Rubio - the “adult in the room” Secretary of State so yeah, it looks like an official stance of the US government.
Oh, in that case I take it back.
God, I hate this timeline!
Not sure what you mean. Everybody knows Musk is the actual President, Trump is just a puppet.
