Elon Musk continues to come up with his opposing views on this invasion while the tension between Russia and Ukraine continues. The Starlink satellite, which took a big step to provide internet access to the people of Ukraine, received praise from many people.
Elon Musk, who frequently expressed his opposition to the occupation of Ukraine and did his best in this regard, even invited Putin to one-on-one combat. However, Musk, who angered Russian leader Putin both by opening the Internet access of the Starlink satellite and with his sarcastic attitudes, once again showed that he was not afraid of what could happen to him.
“We can launch our satellites faster against any missile that may be fired at our satellites”
Starlink satellites are of great importance for the people of Ukraine, who are currently experiencing serious problems with their internet infrastructure. . After the tension between Russian leader Putin and Elon Musk, “Are Starlink satellites safe?” came the questions. We know that Putin has given ‘little warnings’ to anyone who confronts him in the face of sanctions. For this reason, Elon Musk needs to be prepared for possible situations that may happen to the Starlink satellite. Musk, on the other hand, stated that he is not worried about this issue in an interview with Axel Springer’s CEO, Mathias Döpfner.
Answering Döpfner’s questions about Starlink, Musk said, “If you try to destroy Starlink, this will not happen because there are 2000 satellites. This means that we have a large number of anti-satellite missiles. “Hopefully we won’t have to put this to the test, but I think we can launch satellites faster than they can launch anti-satellite missiles.” Musk stated that although he is anti-war, they are prepared for any attack on their satellites. However, regarding the ongoing war, “It is surprising to see this in this day and age. Mostly I thought we were going beyond that sort of thing.”
“Sometimes I make mistakes”
Musk admitted that he misbehaved on some issues and said, “I think I can help in conflicts. I try to take the actions that are most likely to increase the likelihood that the future will be good. And frankly, I sometimes make mistakes in these matters. I am doing what I think is most likely and to ensure that the future is good for humanity. These are the things I will do,” he added.
Although he behaves ‘childish’ in some situations, his admission of mistakes and his anti-war rhetoric are appreciated by many. Not just with his achievements in the technological field or how much money he has; It is a great achievement that he can openly share his views on these issues. Today, many people who add wealth to their wealth every day, unfortunately, cannot show the same frankness or hesitate to comment on such matters. It is a hopeful behavior that Elon Musk stands out from the others, even though he makes mistakes.
