Musk is popular in Ukraine! But this time he was scolded. In Odessa , Musk's large portrait on the street was covered, and the reason was very simple. Musk's recent statements made Ukrainians very annoyed. From the Ukrainian referendum to the closure of Starlink in the war zone between the Ukrainian army and the Russian army, they offended the Ukrainians.
And in the recent Ukraine requested the opening of the Starlink service for Crimea , Musk refused without hesitation. Why did Musk have such a big change from supporting heroes to Ukraine's scolding everyone?
From a Ukrainian hero to a Russian bear: only one vote is left
On October 4, Big Mouth Musk launched a vote on Twitter. This kind of thing is very common on Twitter , and Musk did a lot, but this time it was a bit unusual. When I saw that nearly 200,000 people had voted, and I followed Musk's over 100 million, so there were a lot of responders:
Here we have to explain the background, September 23~September 27, Donetsk and Lugansk , as well as Khlsong Prefecture and Zaporoge Prefecture and Zaporoge Prefecture and joined the referendum of the Russian Federation. The results are as follows:
all four states voted in favor of joining Russia. On September 30, Russian President Putin and leaders of the four regions of Donetsk People's Republic, Lugansk People's Republic, Zaporoge Prefecture and Khlsong Prefecture signed a treaty on the participation of the Russian Federation in the above four places.
Since the referendum, the Ukrainians have accumulated a lot of fire, but they have nowhere to vent their losses on the battlefield. As a result, on October 4, Musk made this vote, which directly ignited the anger of the Ukrainians. Everyone left messages to denounce these conditions for Russia, and the Ukrainians said that they would never accept the referendum results. However, this matter is not over. Musk then held another referendum:
Ukrainians exploded directly. Who is Musk? Why did you point fingers at Ukraine? Musk's proposal is understandable out of peace initiative, which is conducive to the conclusion of your peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine! But from a legal perspective, Musk should not "interfere" in Ukraine's "internal affairs". As an ordinary person, it is understandable, but Musk is a well-known global entrepreneur and his influence is not bad. No wonder Ukrainians are going to be exploded.
even Ukrainian President Zelensky also mocked Musk tried to solve the crisis in the real world with naive suggestions, which made Musk quite embarrassed!
This is what an angry Ukrainian Pin Musk as a Russian soldier. I have to say that there is no sense of incongruity. It seems that this PS technology is still quite good. Musk was regarded as a hero supporting Ukraine in March because the Ukrainian president asked the opening of Starlink services to the Ukrainian army. There are huge portraits of Musk in many places such as Odessa and Kiev . Now Ukrainian workers in Odessa are covering it with it, from a Ukrainian hero to a Russian bear, with only one vote left.
insider: Opening Starlink service may trigger a nuclear war!
On October 8, the British " Financial Times " reported the complaint of a senior Ukrainian government official that Ukrainian soldiers were disconnected from the use of Starlink services in the Russian-occupied state:
Two government officials who wanted to be named told the Financial Times that when soldiers entered a city that had just been liberated from the Russian army, they had difficulty connecting to satellite Internet services.
A Ukrainian government official said the power outage caused the country's military to lose communication "disastrously". The Starlink ground communication end donated by Musk to the Ukrainian army is an important technical means for the Ukrainian army to maintain contact, because the access service was cancelled, which posed a great obstacle to the actions of Ukrainian soldiers.
Musk did not respond directly to this report, but said awkwardly on Twitter:
"This action (supporting Ukraine) cost SpaceX US$80 million, which will exceed 100 million by the end of the year." He said that the Financial Times' report on owing funds to the Ukrainian Starlink terminal mainly to the US government was "bad report".
"As for what happened on the battlefield, there is nothing to say!"
From Musk's statement, we can know several facts. One of the Ukrainian starlinks is likely to be used for free, and the other is the expenses that should have been subsidized by the US government (because it is the will of the country). At present, SpaceX is subsidizing itself, and it may be difficult to continue.
According to SpaceX's public information, from March to June, SpaceX delivered 15,000 clients to Ukraine. "Washington Post " reported in April that The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) paid SpaceX about US$2 million and ordered 1,333 terminals to send to Ukraine.
But Starlink is not just the client's expenses. Starlink's bandwidth and satellite maintenance require SpaceX to pay a lot of funds to maintain it. It has been supporting Ukraine but the US government does not pay for it. It is still thankless, which makes Musk very embarrassed.
Starlink: The purpose of the low-Earth orbit Internet communication constellation
Starlink is to access the Internet for users at any location and at any time in the world. The principle is to launch a large number of satellites in low-Earth orbit, so that they have satellites overtopped at any location and at any time, thereby connecting the client's needs to the nearest ground station and then accessing the global Internet.
To achieve this goal, Starlink used two-layer orbits of 550 kilometers and 350 kilometers, and is expected to launch about 42,000 satellites to complete the largest Internet communication constellation in history. Starlink's client is an phased array antenna . It can automatically end the starlink satellite without pointing. After receiving the communication request from the ground client, the
satellite will forward it directly to the nearest ground station to the Internet, or it will route it to the satellite with the nearest ground station through inter-satellite route to the satellite with the nearest ground station and then land to the Internet. The former is faster, but the latter guarantees that the internet can be kept online even if there are no ground stations nearby.
Why does Starlink have no signal in the warring areas between Russia and Ukraine?
Musk refused to comment on this and refused to explain on the grounds that "as for what happened on the battlefield, there is no explanation!", but there are only a few speculations. One is that Putin had signed a speech when the four eastern Ukrainian states entered Russia, saying that he would use all means to safeguard the security of Russian territory. If Starlinks are used in a stalemate area between the two sides, it may cause Russia's anger.
Another is that Musk is worried that the Ukrainian army would lose a large number of Starlink clients in the war. The Russian army will use these clients to access Starlink services, which will help the evil. Therefore, Musk closed the access services in these areas, but each Starlink client has an access serial number. After the loss, it will be cancelled.
Musk rejects Crimea's star link! People insiders may trigger a nuclear war
Political analyst Ian Bremmer said on October 10 that Musk personally rejected Ukraine's request to expand its satellite Internet service to Crimea, and he was worried that efforts to retake the peninsula from Russian troops could lead to a nuclear war .
Bremer said Musk had recently held a secret meeting with Russian President Putin, claiming that he (Putin) was "ready to negotiate". Bremer said Musk told him that during that conversation Putin threatened that if Ukraine tries to retake the Crimean Peninsula , which is a Russian naval base, he will respond to Ukraine using the nuclear weapon .
But Musk said on Twitter that there was nothing wrong with it, and Musk said that he and Putin only talked once, but that was 18 months ago. At that time, they were only talking about space, and did not include Starlink or Ukraine! However, Bremer also insisted that Musk had told him personally that he had talked to Putin directly about this issue.
Bremer said Musk and Putin had talks, and Musk said he did not! So who should I believe in? The author doesn’t know that even if such a talk is true, Musk will not announce it. This is undoubtedly a feeling of being sentenced to Ukraine. No wonder Ukraine is going to “de-Muskize” recently, which seems understandable.
Ukraine's operations: Making Musk afraid
On October 8, the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Agency deceived Russian civilians to transport 22.77 tons of film rolled into Crimea in the name of transporting 22.77 tons of film rolled into Crimea, and then bombed the Crimea Bridge by remote detonation. This method of involving innocent civilians is too despicable. If the Ukrainian intelligence department uses technical means or sacrifices its own agent to blow up the Crimea Bridge, at least it can leave the opponent speechless.
So once the Crimea star link is opened, then the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Agency agents who infiltrated Crimea will do something. If there is really a big deal, it would be a big deal? Ukraine almost destroyed the bridge in a terrorist attack, causing Russia to attack high-value targets in Ukraine with the cruise missile for three consecutive days starting from October 10.
Russia's method is indeed fierce. In the past few days, it has been hitting key targets such as substation , transportation hubs and power stations. Ukrainians should be quite sad in the winter of 2022, and Ukraine will also pay a heavy price for its recklessness. So if something happens in Crimea, Russia will blame Starlink or even trigger a nuclear war. This crime will be a big deal. So Musk refused Ukraine's request to open Starlink services in Crimea without hesitation.
extended reading: Putin opens natural gas to Europe
October 12, Russia today reported that Putin, Russia, said that Russia is ready to supply gas to Europe and uses the undestroyed parallel pipeline of Nord Stream Line 2.
On September 26, Nord Stream Line 1 and Line 2 were destroyed by violent explosions. According to the Ukrainian Space Agency, the equivalent of the explosion reached 700 kg of TNT equivalent , allowing Russia to prepare for a plan to use natural gas as a bargaining chip to demand negotiations from Europe this winter.
Since then, the natural gas exported to Europe by the United States has been rising steadily. On October 6, French President Macron complained that the natural gas exported to Europe by the United States is actually 4 times the market price. After the Russian cruise missile hit Ukraine on October 10, the price rose again, which made Europe quite embarrassed. Europe aided Ukraine to resist Russia for the United States, but the United States made a big profit in the rear. Not only did the Russian-Ukrainian conflict disappear in Europe's stable environment, but it also slaughtered Europe while Europe was in short supply of energy.
12 Putin announced that Russia is ready to supply energy to Europe through the surviving Nord Stream 2 pipeline , including this fall and winter. Its annual gas transmission volume is 27.5 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 8% of the total imports of EU natural gas. It will be able to solve Europe's urgent needs.
Nord Stream Line 2 was built by Merkel under tremendous pressure from NATO and the United States. In 2021, Merkel's stage has reached the acceptance stage, but it was permanently suspended by the subsequent Prime Minister Schultz . At present, Nord Stream Line 2 can be opened at any time. If Schultz still has German people in his heart, he must have considered Putin's suggestion.
