We gave Starlinks to Ukraine & lost $80M+ in doing so, while putting SpaceX & myself at serious risk of Russian cyberattack.

What have you done besides tweet?
I always admired you for pushing exploration and taking risks in a way that had been lost for a generation. But great achievements demand higher standards for future actions, not lower.

As for my endeavors, since you asked, that you are unaware of what my colleagues and I have given and what we have lost in this long fight says much about your interest in Ukraine, Russia, and Putin. You speak of hacking risks, not poisonings, prison, and exile.

Putin loves ceasefires, frozen conflicts, etc. because he simply doesn't honor them. It's another asymmetry, abusing Western trust of agreements & the language of diplomacy. When Putin actually wants to negotiate he'll start leaving Ukraine. https://t.co/Gb8b6OUTZ3

In the NYT today: "The Renew Democracy Initiative has distributed about $4 million in humanitarian aid in Ukraine, and is in the early stages of a multimillion-dollar communications campaign to buck up support for the war in the US and Europe." https://t.co/jT1SaWIDHn

Yes, it is disturbing. Even apart from the Starlink boon for Ukraine, Musk and his companies have embraced risk and autonomy, taking on huge challenges and succeeding against tough odds. Why suddenly say Ukraine doesn’t deserve to do the same? https://t.co/9zWiXYt7qW

My new op-ed: "Putin is losing in Ukraine and is doubling down on his brutal war in ways that will also lose him Russia. Now is the time for Ukraine’s allies to press the advantage and to make this war’s goals loud and clear." https://t.co/MTYQJk21FS

"Treaties and paperwork matter, but tanks and artillery matter even more now. Putin's latest illegal annexation further exposes the false nature of Russia's claims on Crimea, which should finally end Western hesitation in supporting its liberation as well."

"Putin and his billionaire cronies have no interest in becoming literally and figuratively radioactive by using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. They still hope to find a way back to Davos, to summits, to chalets in the Alps and slots for their children at schools like NYU."

"The only real danger of nuke use is if Putin believes he can get away with it. So as it has been for generations, deterrence is still the best practice. Ukraine should be put under the NATO nuclear umbrella immediately." My @NYDailyNews op-ed: https://t.co/MTYQJk21FS
