Elon Musk spoke with Vladimir Putin directly, Pentagon official says
- SpaceX CEO Elon Musk reportedly spoke personally to Russian President Vladimir Putin about supplying satellite-based internet to Ukraine's military, as Ukrainian forces were losing connection to the service in contested territory.
- Musk's conversation with Putin was aimed at placating Russian concerns about Starlink's involvement in enabling the Ukrainian war effort, according to Colin Kahl, the former top policy official at the Pentagon.
- Musk had previously denied speaking to Putin, but the report revives the controversy surrounding his Russia-Ukraine peace plans, which caused Ukrainian troops to experience Starlink outages and led to Musk threatening to stop funding Ukraine's access to the service.
