‘The hell with it’: Elon Musk says SpaceX will fund Starlink internet in Ukraine

On Saturday, Musk announced that his company would continue to pay for Starlink satellite internet in war-torn Ukranian.

The world's richest man said "The hell with it" Even though Starlink is losing money, we will keep funding the Ukranian government.

The US military confirmed on Friday that it was communicating with Musk and his company about funding for the key network.

Musk became involved in public spats with Ukrainian leaders who were angered by his controversial proposals for de-escalating the conflict.

Starlink, a constellation of more than 3000 small satellites in low-Earthorbit, has been vital to Ukraine's communications as it fights against Russia.

The updated figure was given by Musk last week.
