Kelly took to Twitter on Saturday, calling on Musk to support Ukraine and provide aid to the country’s armed forces, who are currently defending against a genocidal invasion. In response, Musk defended his stance, stating that while Starlink is a crucial source of communication for Ukraine, especially at the frontlines where almost all other internet connections have been lost, he will not contribute to the escalation of conflict that could lead to a third world war.
