TL;DR SpaceX did pony up a bunch to get Starlink there early but having been taking all the credit for donating the whole thing even though it is substantially being paid for by other vendors. Now they are saying it costs them $4500 a month per terminal to maintain service, a rate which they charge nobody and substantially less than the $60 a month base rate they charge most. They essentially are saying pay up $400 million a year or we will shut it down. So as usual for Musk, he took all the limelight, got other orgs to put up a lot of the bills and never acknowledge most or any of it, and then tries to get governments to fund even more shit that he will take credit for. I tried to give him this one in the beginning but JFC did he totally Musk this one up too. #MuskIsADick #BillionairesShouldNotExist https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/13/politics/elon-musk-spacex-starlink-ukraine/index.html
