“Elon, no matter how you turn on the fool.” Dmitry Rogozin said that Elon Musk “will have to answer in an adult way” for the transfer of Starlink equipment kits to Ukraine

The head of the state corporation Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, warned the head of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, that he would “have to answer like an adult” for the transfer of Starlink satellite equipment kits to Ukraine.

“According to our information, the delivery and transfer to the Armed Forces of Ukraine of PO boxes for receiving and transmitting the Internet from Starlink was carried out by the Pentagon”– said Dmitry Rogozin. “And you will have to answer for this in an adult way, Elon, no matter how you turn on the fool”he said.

Earlier it was reported that according to the testimony of the captured chief of staff of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Ukrainian troops, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, Starlink equipment kits were used to access the Internet to the Ukrainian armed forces in Mariupol.

At the moment, over 10,000 sets of Starlink subscriber equipment are operating in Ukraine, and the company very easily bypassed the “jammers” used by Russia. As for the funds that financed the supply of Starlink to Ukraine, SpaceX did not officially confirm the involvement of US government agencies in this: at the end of March, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said that private sources financed the supply of Starlink equipment to Ukraine, “France helpedand, in her opinion, Poland. However, in April, The Washington Post published an article that reported that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) bought 1,333 Starlink terminals for about $2 million. USAID disclosed the number of terminals purchased from SpaceX in a press release published in early April, but after publication it was corrected, removing data on purchases of Starlink terminals.
