Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, finds himself at the center of controversy following a series of tweets concerning the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. On Sunday, Musk tweeted, “Be quiet, small man,” a comment that followed his bold assertion about Starlink’s critical role in Ukraine’s defense.

The comments from Elon Musk were sparked by a tweet in which an X user urged him to look into the origin of funding for Ukraine, following the display of a massive Ukrainian flag outside the White House.

If Poland and other European countries opt for alternatives, SpaceX's military relevance could take a hit, pushing Musk to rethink his role in global geopolitics.
