Confirming the CNN report, Elon Musk says he is following the advice of the Ukrainian diplomat who told him "fuck you *****"

() — Elon Musk said Friday that by asking the Pentagon to pay the Starlink bill in Ukraine he was following the advice of a Ukrainian diplomat who responded to Musk’s Ukraine peace plan earlier this month with: “Fuck off.” ****”.

Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, responded earlier this month to Elon Musk’s alleged peace plan for Russia’s war in Ukraine by saying, “Fuck you,” is my very diplomatic @elonmusk.

“We are only following your recommendation,” Elon Musk said on Friday, responding to a tweet that referenced the reports and Melnyk’s comments.

exclusively reported Thursday that SpaceX last month sent a letter to the Pentagon saying it can no longer continue to fund Starlink service as it has, and asked the Pentagon to foot the bill.
