The fact is that Elon, one man, has done more to support Ukraine in the fight against Putin than most countries on earth.

In fact even if Ukrainians weren't receiving it for free Elon would still deserve credit FOR CREATING Starlink in the first place. Thereby allowing Ukrainians to have critical infrastructure in wartime.

The Russians would be parading Zelenskyy’s corpse through the streets of Kiev, if not for Elon’s help.
