Elon Musk has claimed he was just following the "recommendation" of a Ukrainian ambassador who told him to "f**k off," following reports SpaceX could stop funding Starlink coverage for Ukraine.

According to CNN, SpaceX wrote to the Pentagon last month requesting the U.S. military pick up the tab, which the company says comes to tens of millions of dollars each month.

On Friday, Jason Jay Smart, a Ukraine-based reporter at the Kyiv Post, tweeted: "Elon Musk's Starlink says it can no longer afford to give Ukraine [Ukraine flag emoji] free service and asks the Pentagon [U.S. flag emoji] to pay for it. Starlink had been a game changer in the war.
