Washington, DC [US], March 10 : Tesla and Starlink CEO, Elon Musk on Sunday, warned that the entire frontline of Ukraine's defence system would collapse if he "turned off" his Starlink system, which has been important in maintaining military communications for the war-hit nation.
Caling Starlink system the "backbone" of the Ukrainian army, Musk said that he is "sickened" by "years of slaughter in a stalemate that Ukraine will inevitably lose."
"I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off. What I am sickened by is years of slaughter in a stalemate that Ukraine will inevitably lose. Anyone who really cares, really thinks and really understands wants the meat grinder to stop. PEACE NOW!," Musk posted on X.
