We're talking about Elon Musk's weird behavior to try to appear to be a hero, but then to immediately charge exorbitant amounts of money after-the-fact.
Elon Musk is not to be trusted, and is seemingly a Russian Asset now. Fuck him. Its our job as Americans to find trustworthy providers of services to our military. If Musk wants to be a military contractor with a top-secret clearance and fancy Pentagon Contracts, he can start by not being a fucking asshole during wartime.
Pentagon has plenty of money, and there are plenty of satellite competitors. This is all SpaceX's loss, because we all know not to use SpaceX in our military anymore. I thank the Ukrainians for finding the turncoat in our ranks but we still need to figure out how to solve the Ukrainian internet problem for their troops.
Well, contracts should be formalized.
