  5. Hmm, who to trust? 

    A. Reuters, a reputable news agency citing three sources.

    B. The compulsively lying nazi signaling billionaire who stands to lose the most from it.

  7. Well if there’s one person who I can trust to always tell the truth… it’s a good thing we have this bastion of truth, justice, and free speach out their fighting us protecting us from evil astronauts trying to cover up the dastardly plot to keep two other astronauts stranded in space!! (Those two astronauts are also in on the plot)

  8. Wasn’t he already being investigated by USAID for interruptions in Starlink service in Ukraine that impacted their (Ukrainian) military operations? Sure would like to see the results of that investigation… Assuming nobody with an agenda gets control of USAID’s funding or staffing… oh wait… damn…

    Yeah, he definitely did it before, and will do it again. Somebody put this clown behind bars already.

  9. Would trust his word 0/10 over AP and Reuters. .

    Someone leaked it and he’s probably trying to frantically shut it down in the background .

    He’s 100% capable of cutting starlink off . This is the same guy who told the Thai president he was a pedophile for saying thanks but no thanks to his dodgy cave rescuing sub

  12. The gaslighting is insane here. Felon Musk and Comrade Agent Krasnov Trump do and say one thing and then immediately backpedal while still threatening to do the same thing.

  14. >Responding to a report by Reuters, Musk called the claim “false” and accused the news agency of lying. **He offered no evidence to back up his statement.**

    Ummm… that’s not how this works. The burden of proof is on Reuters, not on Elon. You can hate on Elon all you want but asking someone to prove a negative isn’t the way things work.

  15. Changing plans due to public backlash doesn’t mean something didn’t happen, Elon.

  16. [U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine’s critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country’s access to Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.](https://www.reuters.com/business/us-could-cut-ukraines-access-starlink-internet-services-over-minerals-say-2025-02-22/)

    It’s hearsay. Musk is probably lying, but still… Eventually, what matters is that nothing comes out of it.

    It’s sad…

  20. We all know he is a liar, but because he is denying it, that means there is something that he worries about. Whatever it may be, he is not elected and people need to keep pressuring him until he cracks.

  21. Russia was claiming usa were the ones who started the war I am started to believe them

  24. The good news is, at least Musk thinks it would make him look bad.

  25. Elon Musk is the type of guy who would tell his wife he never cheated on her despite indisputable evidence like video recordings, text logs, and photographs.

    Elon Musk fans are the type of people who would believe him anyways.

  26. Bullshit. They’ve seen the backlash and trying to back peddle. 

  31. Very high number of negative rumours being spread as news nowadays

    Time we only allow legit sources as news

  32. I considered star link as a backup for internet connection on a project. That idea was scrapped way back when Elon was disabling Ukraine access on the front.

    It’s not a backup when it’s not something you can depend on.

  33. I believe him since this is his money and its only thing he cares about

  34. This information makes every corporation and world government realize if they use Starlink they could get extorted. He tanked the whole thing with this threat.

  35. Time to seek alternative to Stasi Link. Plan and simple.

  38. Too late, say goodbye to any chance exporting this to foreign countries in any meaningful non civil capacity.

  40. You can’t trust a word Elon and Trump are saying. They are just temporary backtracking to get an increased approval rate. It’s gonna work because people are stupid enough to believe them. An endless circle of idiocracy

  43. He probably wants to keep it on a little longer to map out all of the Ukrainian positions on the front line to hand over to his handler Putin. Then he can switch it all off.

  44. And the hitler salut was a queens wave you just had the wrong angle. 

  45. what good are rare minerals if nobody is gonna buy the products you make them with

  46. Musk you think he was for the good of the country with electric cars. He is such a let down, I don’t care how much money you have. Without love, empathy and integrity you are nothing but a empty peanut 🥜.

  47. Musk has cut off Starlink during vital Ukrainian counterattack operations before. Ukraine shouldn’t trust Trump, Musk, or Starlink.
