Musk Says He is ‘Obviously Failing’ to De-Escalate Ukraine Situation
23:13 GMT 15.10.2022 (Updated: 20:57 GMT 19.10.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Tech mogul Elon Musk says he is doing everything he can to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine, without much result.
"I’m trying my hardest to de-escalate this situation and obviously failing," Musk said in a social media post, in response to comments made by Kim Dotcom, another entrepreneur.
Musk said on Saturday that SpaceX would continue to pay for Starlink internet services in Ukraine despite substantial financial loss.
Dotcom replied to Musk’s tweet saying: "In other words you will continue your support for the US proxy war in Ukraine despite your better knowledge that this is a US proxy war and the risk of a nuclear war because of the US proxy war?" Dotcom added that personal interests must be put aside for the sake of humanity.
