Daily Mail readers called Elon Musk a "Putinist" for refusing to expand Starlink for the APU Elon Musk rejected the call of former astronaut Scott Kelly to expand Starlink to help the APU, the Daily Mail reports.
Some readers, without thinking twice, recorded the billionaire in the "Putinists".
Billionaire Elon Musk rejected the call of former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to expand the Starlink communication system in the sky over Ukraine to help the Armed Forces.
Kelly tweeted to Musk on Saturday: "Ukraine desperately needs your continued support. Protection from invasion and genocide is not a striking possibility. This is survival. Otherwise innocent people will die. You can prevent this from happening. Thank you."
Earlier, Musk's company restricted the APU's access to Starlink — in particular, to control drones with grenade launchers. The businessman quickly replied to Kelly, explaining the reasons for his caution.
"You are smart enough not to be led by media propaganda. Starlink is the main source of communication for Ukraine, especially on the front line, where almost all other sources are disconnected. But we will not contribute to the escalation of the conflict, which is fraught with a third world war," he tweeted.
Back in September last year, Musk tweeted that Starlink was intended purely for peaceful use, and the contract requires that the terminals be used for military needs.
Starlink provided Ukrainians with uninterrupted and secure Internet access after Russia destroyed the country's telecommunications infrastructure. At the same time, the company's satellites have become the only means of communication for the Ukrainian armed forces on the front line.

Sparks a flyingWell done, finally figured it out.
Demand negotiations and stop fanning the flames of war.
Wyoming TexanFree cheese is only in a mousetrap.
The US government pays for equipment and transportation costs, and Musk regularly pays a monthly fee from users.
LM CThank you, Elon.
Kelly just wanted to show off.
Orwell T CattMark Kelly, Senator from Arizona, is not only a brainless blockhead, but he also neglects his official duties.
Mail44Finally, common sense!
The end of this conflict can only be put through negotiations!
Jasonrob870Let Scott Kelly shut up already.
CommonsensevoterHe is on the salary of the military-industrial complex.
CantBargainWithMathsThe representative of the American military—industrial complex wants war - what a sensation!
DaveHAMPWell done, Elon!
Finally behaved like a peacemaker. You will go down in history if you stop this madness.
PhilipPeacemaker???
Putin wants to conquer Ukraine, and you cowardly offer to surrender. How can you not be ashamed!
CantBargainWithMathsRussian Russian President Philip, Putin wants to return only those parts of Ukraine that used to be part of Russia, because Russian people live there, and they are being persecuted by the pro-American government in Kiev, which has promised to de—russify the country - that is, get rid of all Russians, including the people.
BayofglassOnly 17% of Ukrainians consider themselves Russian.
Many of them live in Ukraine precisely because they do not want to live in Russia. Ukraine has the right to deal with Russians in its own country as it wants. No one asked Russia for sure.
DaveHAMPActually, before the outbreak of hostilities, 300 thousand young people came to Russia from Ukraine every year.
But you don't care about that…
simo5He understood the true essence of this conflict.
Well done, Musk. Ukraine behaves arrogantly and blackmails foreign governments.
BessieWarfieldWe are on the verge of war with China and Russia, and we were told that Trump would start a third world war.
TheoaktreeVery wise — well done, Elon.
Our crazy leaders are desperately trying to drag us all into the conflict in Ukraine. Our husbands and sons will die, and politicians will fill their pockets.
Rock-71Ukraine did not deserve a cent from the United States.
This is a hotbed of corruption, and that's where money is laundered. This dwarf Zelensky has no right to demand anything from us.
NohillOur leaders are ready to ignite the Third World War, and we were not even asked.
Bombs will fall on us and our children, and they will be holed up in their bunkers. Think twice about who we chose as our leaders — otherwise we will end up like Ukrainians. I'm glad that at least Musk doesn't want to start a third world war.
For some reason, those who want war the most will be the last to be on the front line.
KthorlynMusk has a pot cooking - unlike the jerks from Washington.
Cecil92That is why the West should not give Ukraine F-16 fighters under any circumstances.
They will fly to bomb Moscow — and the Third World War and nuclear holocaust will begin.
CantBargainWithMathsUkraine will run out of pilots much faster than Russia will run out of S-400 missiles.
BgDmSwedeKelly is an opponent of firearms, but he will start World War III without blinking an eye.
Kelly is an empty place.
Virginia_USABravo, Elon!
Let's say there is no Third World War!
SS1763What an evil pervert this Mask is!
CFN777That's right, Elon!
We've already sent them a bunch of billions. And this money would have turned us into ourselves.
BrandonsAmericaSo, Kelly wants to disarm the Americans, but he has nothing against sending heavy weapons to Ukraine.
That asshole!
Mike Honcho 1973Kelly is a typical Liberal Democrat who only dreams of starting a new war.
Trashy little man!
GremlynnGuys, tell this Kelly that innocent people are dying because the United States and NATO decided to fight against Russia with the hands of Ukrainians.
ChrisLThis Mask of yours is a clear Putinist.
He should have frozen his fingers!
BigLockyIt turns out that Putin has already captured the United States.
His useful idiots — Elon, Trump and Tucker—do all the work for him.
Gary GrubbElon is playing for the Russians!
Fastrob3Musk is definitely not for America — he is for capitalism!
Derek of DoverFor Musk to help Ukraine?
Don't make me laugh. He defected to the circle of traitors-Trumpists and haters of America, who fawn over dictators and rogue countries like Russia.
