Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, says: We can not allow Putin take over Ukraine.

As Moscow's invasion of Kiev enters its second month, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, stated that the world cannot allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine because if he does, it will send a message to other countries that they, too, can get away with it.

In an interview with Mathias Dopfner, CEO of German publishing house Axel Springer, he stated that the US administration has done more for Ukraine than the public is aware of.

However, it has not been widely publicised. However, it is critical to take action. We cannot allow Putin to seize control of Ukraine. This is insane. " He told Dopfner this in Tesla's Fremont, California, facility.

Musk-run In the midst of the Russian invasion, SpaceX has dispatched trucks brimming with Starlink user terminals to Ukraine in order to keep the country connected.

"We anticipated the requirement for Starlink and took proactive steps to guarantee that it could be given immediately." When the request arrived, we acted immediately, "he stated.

Ukraine's satellite internet link was permanently disrupted on the day of the invasion, February 24.

Cell towers are being blown up or jammed. The Russians are aware of a significant fibre backbone. They were highly likely to cut that fibre connection. This would leave Ukraine with only a few remaining links. Thus, Starlink may be the only connection available in some areas of Ukraine, "Musk stated in a late Sunday interview.

Regarding Russian threats against his own satellites, he stated that if they seek to destroy Starlink, it will be difficult due to the network's 2,000 satellites.

This entails a large number of anti-satellite missiles. I hope this is not necessary, but I believe we can launch satellites faster than they can deploy anti-satellite missiles. Musk made a point.

Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's president, has urged Musk to visit his country following the war.
