Elon Musk points to recent SpaceX launch to mock Russia's suggestion the US might have to fly into space on 'broomsticks' after rocket sales stop

Russia suggested the US would have to get to space on broomsticks after the sale of Russian rocket engines were halted.

The head of the Russian space agency said on Thursday that Russia would no longer supply rocket engines to the US.

In a situation like this, we can't supply the United States with our world's best rocket engines.

The company launched 47 of its own Starlink satellites into space via the Falcon 9 rocket.

Musk responded to a video of the launch with a picture of the words "American Broomstick" and four US flags.

Musk has confronted Rogozin before.

When Musk was criticized for offering Starlink internet in Ukraine, he said that he was helping fix it.

One engineer told Insider that he was using the system for emergencies in case his internet connection was cut off, after Starlink went live in Ukraine.

Starlink has more than 2,000 satellites in the sky. Musk warned Starlink users in Ukranian that they could be targeted during the invasion.
