Recently, Musk's actions have been angering Ukrainians . He just said that "the four places in the east of Ukrainian" have returned to Russia, and he regretted the satellite service he had promised to provide the Ukrainian army for free. He also wrote a letter to ask the Pentagon to pay for the Ukrainian service and pay the money as soon as possible.

Musk wrote a letter to the Pentagon. The services to the Ukrainian army are clearly marked with the price
According to US media reports, The "Starlink" satellite terminal provided by Musk's SpaceX company has always been an important communication tool for the Ukrainian army. Its important role is that even when the mobile phone and the Internet are damaged and disconnected, it can maintain contact in the battle and help the Ukrainian army to go to war smoothly with the Russian army.
However, Ma Ske has written to the Pentagon, saying that he can no longer continue to fund the " Starlink " service . In addition, also requires the Pentagon to pay for the services used in Ukraine. In the next year, the "Starlink" service will cost $120 million, and the next 12 months may even cost more, reaching $400 million.
Relevant managers of the company said that SpaceX cannot always donate terminals to the Ukrainian army for free, and even use company money to pay for the service indefinitely. If the US military does not pay, the company will stop providing further funding for Ukrainian satellite services. This means that if the Pentagon does not pay, SpaceX may suspend the provision of services to the Wujun again.
Musk said that he has donated about 20,000 satellites of "Starlink" to Ukraine so far. The use of the Ukrainian army has cost SpaceX's US$80 million. If it continues to be used, the expenditure will exceed US$100 million by the end of this year, and , the 80 million, is called "charitable donations" by the US media.
(Pentagon, USA)
Musk made the US military pay for it, angering senior Pentagon officials
SpaceX also sent the Pentagon-related documents, one of which was a A commander of the Ukrainian army, saying that he hoped to add about 8,000 "Starlink" terminals.
However, SpaceX said that the company is currently facing an extremely difficult choice because the company does not have enough funds to meet the requirements put forward by the Ukrainian generals and provide any additional services or terminals for the Ukrainian army.
SpaceX's behavior of demanding that the US military pay the bill directly angered senior Pentagon officials. A senior defense official said that SpaceX first looked like a "hero", but now he comes to pay for it, and even shows the Pentagon a monthly bill of tens of millions of dollars to make the Pentagon pay.
In fact, Ukraine is very clear that it cannot be without "Starlink" , because the Ukrainian army's progress on the battlefield is completely dependent on "Starlink" satellite communications, and the Russian army has long regarded Ukrainian communication facilities as the target of attack. However, whether Starlink can operate smoothly is in Musk's hands alone.
had previously agreed to "use for free", but now Musk has resigned and is unwilling to continue to pay the "Starlink" service fee. The Ukrainians are unwilling to do so and express their anger.
(Ukrainian President Zelensky )
Musk proposed his own "peace plan" Zelensky raised questions
In addition to the "Starlink" incident, Ukrainians were angry. Recently, Musk posted on Twitter to announce the "peace plan" he formulated himself, which also made Ukrainians even more "unexpectedly".
Musk persuaded Ukraine to recognize that Crimea belongs to the Russian Federation and also gave up the four places in eastern Ukraine . The Ukrainians were so angry that they blocked Musk's advertisements overnight and removed them. Musk also said that he supported the four places to hold multiple referendums, allowing United Nations to witness the people in the four places choose their own belongings.
For this reason, Zelensky also asked Musk specifically, "Who is there to stand with?" . Musk replied, he was just worried about the large-scale escalation of the conflict, and of course he still very supportive of Ukraine. answer, I don’t know if it was a scene that Musk thought of. After all, Musk is a businessman, and the businessman still “will focus on interests”…
The most direct reaction of the Ukrainians is to remove Musk from the billboard on the street in anger and directly press Musk’s face with huge paper. They probably didn't expect that this rich man who they have always been "grateful and admired" would look "turning to Russia" overnight.

Musk, a businessman, has been very active in politics recently, and his voice is everywhere. He also proposed the suggestion of "Taiwan becoming the China Special Administrative Region", which was recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country...
