Elon Musk says SpaceX can no longer pay for internet service in Ukraine

Elon Musk has told the Pentagon it is time for the U.S. to pay for the SpaceX Starlink Internet service that the Ukrainian military has been using. Elon Musk is warning free internet for Ukraine's military using Starlink could be coming to an end. Musk's company, SpaceX, has donated about $20,000 Starlink satellite units to Ukraine. The company has been helping the country's military communicate after cellular and internet networks were destroyed soon after war broke out with Russia. Musk says it's cost his company $80 million, and he has now warned the Pentagon that cannot continue. Sources say Starlink is the main way Ukrainian troops on the battlefield can communicate.
