Elon Musk Hit Back at Ex-NASA Astronaut, Saying SpaceX’s Starlink Should Not Be Used to Help Fight the War in Ukraine

Elon Musk on Sunday lashed out at a former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly over the use of Starlink in Ukraine during the war with Russia.

SpaceX said in recent weeks that Ukraine can’t use its Starlink internet service for military purposes, such as to pilot drones, and has taken steps to prevent this, per Reuters.

Kelly tagged Musk in a tweet on Saturday, asking him to “restore the full functionality” of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites in Ukraine. Although SpaceX has limited Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink for military purposes, the service is still accessible for commercial use.

“Defense from a genocidal invasion is not an offensive capability. It’s survival. Innocent lives will be lost. You can help,” Kelly tweeted.

Musk told Kelly he was smart enough to “not swallow media & other propaganda bs.” He called Starlink the “communication backbone” of Ukraine, something he has said before. “But we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3,” Musk tweeted.
