Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet service, has had a significant impact in Ukraine, particularly during times of crisis and conflict. The service has been used by the military for intelligence gathering, planning, and even drone strikes. It has also been utilized by hospitals and the government, serving as a crucial communication network during bombardments and energy infrastructure breakdowns. Ukrainian soldiers, in particular, have praised Elon Musk and Starlink for providing them with internet connectivity to communicate with their loved ones, even in dire situations. However, while Starlink has been celebrated for its technological innovation and breakthroughs, concerns have been raised about Elon Musk's unpredictability and his involvement in the situation. These concerns began to surface in September, with the first being related to payment issues.
