For some time, many countries have joined the camp of "sanctions against Russia" because they want to follow in the footsteps of the United States. With the development of time, some companies have also joined this camp, such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW and other well-known car companies. It is worth mentioning that the "list of companies sanctioning Russia" has a special note, that is, the American Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX). Recently, it was reported that Rogozin, president of the Russian State Space Corporation, issued a verbal warning to SpaceX, calling on it not to pretend to be stupid.
"Don't be silly!" Rogozin warned Musk
According to foreign media reports, some time ago in many regions have sanctions, SpaceX also announced a "sanctions measure" to Russia, the report shows that this means compared to other "abnormal", the main content is to provide Ukraine with Starlink satellite Internet services. It is reported that through this assistance, Ukraine can get information flow services for modern warfare, and it can also avoid the spread of false information. Obviously, SpaceX's "sanctions" are very strong.
On May 8, local time, after Tesla's assistance to Ukraine for a period of time, Rogozin, president of the Russian State Space Corporation, issued a warning to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. It said on social media that according to the intelligence obtained by the Russian army from the front line from the commander of the 36th Brigade of Ukraine, the Pentagon had previously directly handed over the Satellite Internet terminal to the Ukrainian military, and it was more interesting that it eventually entered the hands of the armed personnel of the Nazi group 'Azov Battalion'.
Rogozin pointed out that this means that Musk was involved in the incident of providing military communication equipment to Ukrainian "Nazi" forces. He also stressed that no matter how Musk pretends to be stupid, he will eventually bear the responsibility for it. In response, Musk said that the word "Nazi" does not represent the meaning of its expression.
Musk position
It is worth noting that in March, some countries had hoped that Musk could use his use of Starlink satellites to help Ukraine block Russian news sources. In this regard, Musk said in awe that unless "at gunpoint", I will not agree with this opinion, because I am a staunch "free speech absolutist".
However, not long after this situation appeared, Musk was immediately exposed to a "scandal", and the relevant Pentagon personnel said that not long ago, russia had tried to interfere with the Starlink satellite broadband service of Ukraine, but it was blocked by SpaceX. Obviously, Musk is "willing" to help the Ukrainian side. And this shows that it is obvious whether SpaceX will encounter some consequences due to the Ukrainian-Russian War in the future.
