Poland says it’s prepared to seek alternatives to Elon Musk's Starlink network to provide satellite internet access to Ukraine if the tech billionaire proves to be an "unreliable provider."

Never one to sit around, I would venture that Poland has already identified and is working to implement these changes immediately. Events over the past 48 hours in Ukraine dictate it, the ‘announcement’ is just a formality. 🇵🇱
Ukraine does not need the US. Europe is enough. They need to gather their forces & push back together. Establish a no-man's land & build a militarized border to protect Ukraine. https://youtu.be/h4RIiBpfxnU
JHC…get proactive!!! He’s already unreliable…just look at his rockets blowing up…his car sales tanking…his gutting the United States…his 14 children by different women…what more do you need??? Him showing up in the Epstein files???
There are a bunch of bullies in the WH!
45, Rubio and Musk!
Calling European leaders names, “small man”, telling them to be quiet and that they are not grateful enough. Poland is paying for starlink, it’s NOT FREE!
Musk is getting too big for his britches. No people skills.
Lots of good people aren't great at being sociable. But Elon is greedy, arrogant, & openly demeans people, which is another kettle of fish. As you said, calling a European leader "small man" is WRONG, and most agree that expressing gratitude is not req for payment of $$million$.
The EU is in talks with four European satellite internet operators to replace 🇺🇸Starlink in the 🇺🇦Ukrainian defense forces.
Negotiations are underway with four major satellite operators: Luxembourg's SES, Spain's Hisdesat, Britain's Viasat and the Franco-British Eutelsat/OneWeb.

So now you are SPECIFYING one area of the country, in the occupied zone.
Is that what you are saying?
How many Ukrainian civilians are living there now?
Do you ONLY mean soldiers are using it?
Why would troops be using a civilian satellite network and not radio communication?
Radio can be encrypted and they can use code words, of course, and Starlink is an open civilian network.
I find all of this very puzzling. Why not use military communications satellites? Starlink would be able to pinpoint where the uplink is. None of that seems secure to me.
All i know is that Starlink saved us at the beginning and now we have to find the alternative and very quickly. //we encrypted radio with our language but to make it more complicated won't work, it's not WWII, this war is fast, no time to encrypt/decipher.
This is excellent. Relieved to finally see the international community recognize what a problem Musk is. He will meddle in every election, both domestically and abroad if not stopped.
This is great. I would love to drop as many system critical serives as possible which are from US. Currently none of these services is reliable / trustful
It is time we are honest about subsidizing destructive elements of our business community. We give government contracts and tax breaks to parasitic, self-destructive, and unethical companies. We are paying for the destruction of our democracy at the hands of the wealthy class.
I think we should all seek that alternative also. Carlos Slim told him where to go and got rid of his Starlink contract . This is why he’s so friendly with DonOld because this keeps his Starlink from being cancelled.
Western countries refused to adopt China’s 5G equipment over security concerns. Perhaps it’s time to rethink their reliance on US tech. Trump is doing long term harm up his country.
Unreliable? He's already missed his proposed rover on Mars by 2022. People on Mars by 2026. Space X rockets blowing up and space debris, welll that's reliable, so + 1 point. Tanking twitter, tesla stock. Well, you can rack that unreliability to his new unbridled passion for destroying democracy
If trump succeeds with stopping the Russian-Ukraine war …. THEN SANCTIONS SHOULD REMAIN INDEFINITELY … until Russia leaves Ukrainian territory … otherwise Russia will do it again
Tech billionaire bc he takes over other ppl's inventions. He's invented nothing. Dumb as a rock. His kids are IVF & surrogates bc the dick's dick is broken. He's a creep who spies on GF by wiring a telsa he gives as a gift. His trans daughter has disowned him. He cheated w/Depp's "wife" when JD gone
Also, if you border a hostile neighbor that has a track record of invading, why would you give Tusk the option of turning on/off Starlink when you might need it the most?
It seems likely that really skillful hackers will eventually be able to find a way to tap into the satellites for themselves, bypassing Elon's Starlink business. [At least, that's the kind of thing they do on Star Trek all the time. lol]
Boycott! I can’t get members of my family from buying from Amazon. It makes me sick. Every other day there’s a us mail package from Amazon. I sent screen shots of dates. The minute I hear any sorrow or anger about losing state medical help, considered Medicaid or her SS check is late.
They need to find an alternative. Call AT&T, Verizon, anybody else.... This idiot doesn't deserve their business!!!
He can't even get his rockets to work right, to bring the astronauts down, like he promised, he could do.
So full of hot air, all you need is a pin...
The US is no ally anymore. The current government has been undermined, favors Putin as favor for tipping the election in Trump's favor. The US government has taken the form of the Russian oligarchy too.
Musk took aim at Sikorski, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, telling him: “Be quiet, small man. You pay a tiny fraction of the cost. And there is no substitute for Starlink.”
Challenge accepted. Why it took so long is baffling. He already limited Ukraine use of Starlink early in the conflict.
He's already proven to be an unreliable partner. He is drunk on power and growing increasingly corrupt. Seek alternatives now. Elon needs all power stripped from him to begin to restore his humility and humanity. It would be for his own good, and the good of everyone else too.
Given the unreliability of his work product, whether it be firing/rehiring, burning Teslas or "rapid unscheduled disassembly" of his SpaceX products, that's totally fair.
Poland, as other allies are finding, need backup plans when dealing with the Trump administration and their associates. Canada is diversifying away from America, Poland and other nations with critical needs need to do the same in this environment. Time to move on, or end up with Hobson's choice.
"Warsaw is Ukraine's largest donor to finance terminals for the space-based communications system, which is a critical tool in Kyiv's fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion."
We are talking about 41% of 47k terminals. Poland saying they might switch means there's a real threat.

The EU/UK needs to be clear, if you are unreliable, the EU/UK will seek alternatives to Starlink...

QED.
He doesn’t deserve his wealth!
Why are they reliant on a shady satellite internet and not cables or 4/5G?
This is a genuine question.
Is that what you are saying?

A buffoon on Ketamine
The white Kanye
Etc, etc
I think we know that answer.
Also, if you border a hostile neighbor that has a track record of invading, why would you give Tusk the option of turning on/off Starlink when you might need it the most?
And every country should run away from Starlink
Excessive use of the drug can make anyone feel like they rule the world. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/03/ketamine-effects-elon-musk/681911/
He stopped Ukraine retaking Crimeia, disconnecting Ukraine starlink,
because hes a little ruzzian asset nazi
Also this…
He's a Nazi 🤬
Ditch Elon now!
Stepping up!
He can't even get his rockets to work right, to bring the astronauts down, like he promised, he could do.

(Everyone can sign this:)
Who doesn't want to stop abuse, fraud and corruption.
But, let's be serious.
Tulsi has got to go.
Why do you need a "Director of National Intelligence" when there is virtually no evidence of ANY national intelligence?
I hope they do!

Seek alternatives now.
